I started rooting for the alligators...

With the release of 'Bait' in 2012 and 'Crawl' in 2019, and now 'The Flood' in 2023 it looks as if the industry is heading towards a new genre: flood/creature feature. 'The Flood' sees a very similar premise to the aforementioned films, only it wasn't nearly as effective or well made.When weather conditions during a hurricane become too dangerous to drive, a bus escorting five dangerous criminals has to take a detour to the closest prison. The prison is run by feisty Sheriff Newman (Nicky Whelan). I couldn't help but think they wanted to make a heroin out of Newman in the vein of Nancy (Blake Lively) from 'The Shallows' or Sheriff Julie Forester (Elizabeth Shue) from 'Piranha 3D' - only Nicky Whelan doesn't have what it takes to pull it off. I found her much too weak to portray the heroin.Another four unsavory criminals raid the prison in order to free one of their own, and a shootout ensues with the gang taking over the prison. However, the police station is flooded and soon the alligators find a way in - and they're hungry! And so begins their ordeal - trying to survive. We have a lot of characters for such a short movie, and set mostly in the police station, it did feel a bit cluttered. Sure, the alligators soon start eliminating some of the characters, but even so there simply were too many characters.The film also suffers from poor acting, poor dialogue, poor visuals, a poor script, and just generally not that great on any level. There's hardly any suspense at all and I blame lack of enthusiasm from the cast and the director. This could have been so much better! Oh, and another thing; one of the characters suddenly returns during the final act after being viciously attacked by an alligator earlier on (presumed to be dead). And guess what, he's not even limping! In fact, he has no blood on him - not even a scratch!!! That's when it hit me again I was watching a B-movie...Unfortunately, 'The Flood' got much worse towards the end. Rather give this one a skip. Watch 'Crawl' instead.

This was painful to watch. Here is why you should not!

This movie felt like a torture device more than anything. Before the opening credits roll, we are greeted by some very unlikable horribly acted out characters that we know nothing about, nor care about. Anyway, that opener just sets the tone for the rest of it; it gets no better. What you see in the first 30 seconds is what the rest of it is like. Nothing changes, just more random people enter the badly written scenes, act them out horribly and die by a stealth 50ft alligator that always ends up getting punched in the face, literally. They should have called this movie gator boxing. At least that would have been an original something in it!!Acting is D tier at best (and im very generous here), dialogue lines written by equally apt people, CIG is 90s level, reality and logic just do not exist not that those would have helped much at this point. The movie is an amalgamation of everything somebody saw over their lifetime. HARD RAIN, LAKE PLACID, SHARKNADO, DEEP BLUE SEA, and so many others.Not an original thought was put behind anything on screen, there is no production value either. Camera work is acceptable but every angle and scene cut is generic as it gets - it has no style of its own. I was trying to find something good about it and i failed. At the end it begs the question, why was this made? There are stupid movies that are entertaining (COCAINE BEAR), but this is dull and annoying with nothing going for it. Frankly if the acting was just an inch above the deepest pit of bland and forced, it might have been watchable. But you just cannot stomach these people on screen for that long.Just skip it. 2/10 because i was totally rooting for the gator every time he came out of nowhere right between 20 of them and ate one of them up before escaping using its teleportation device!

Truly terrible.

Ok, there are other reviews here that all say the exact same thing: it's not a bad movie that you should avoid, it is truly an annoying way of spending your time.So, let's do this without spoiling anything: we all know that there are alligators in this one, but did you know the CGI used is the same one that brought Godzilla 1998? And not only that, but they used the exact same tactic, they shot the movie in the dark, they put some CGI rain, I'm not kidding, it is CGI rain, hopefully that the reptiles will look slightly better. But they do not.Also, after taking inspiration from Godzilla, they went even further back in time and picked Terminator 1984. It was decided that the gators can not be killed by conventional weapons, but, today's conventional weapons not those from 1984.A little Assault on Precinct 13 1976 and there you have it, they got a movie for you. Truly, truly bad in all ways.I gave it two stars because the star power here is not negligible.Anyway here is a little piece of information that will save you a lot of time. After the first gator attack, where you will see nothing more than bad CGI and a roll over performed with fast forward which makes it look even more ridiculous, you will know that what awaits you is nothing but regret.Cheers!
