To be fair, this film made me laugh so it was fairly entertaining. However I'm pretty sure this wasn't intentional. It made me laugh at how cheesy and bad and cliched it was. The script is terrible, and the majority of scenes are predictable and cliched. Like the swimming and motivational speeches in a lull between gator attacks, and the characters seemingly strange and inexplicable actions and doing completely the wrong thing (like shouting for helping metres away in a category 5 hurricane). This really made me giggle, but also made me want to bang my head against the wall it was so cringeworthy.
The effects too are pretty terrible. They dont look too bad in the darker more cramped basement scenes, but everything else looks pretty second rate. There's a decent amount of gore but even this gets ridiculous when you start to consider the amount of injuries these characters are obtaining without dying.
To be quite honest, this isnt the worst creature horror I've ever seen but it is definitely not the best. I'd suggest Lake Placid might be a better option.

Meet Me Halfway ( Learning to love 1)
By Lilian T. James
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Madison gave her heart to a boy at the age of sixteen, but all she got in return was a broken heart and a swollen belly.
Alone with a baby and desperate for the love she hadn’t found, she turned to a man who sealed his claim of devotion with a diamond ring.
He promised her a family. A life. A future. But his lies had only been a cover for the personal hell he introduced her to daily.
Now, at twenty-five, Madison has long since stopped believing in love. Balancing single parenthood, three jobs, and online courses, she doesn’t have the time anyway.
So when the broody neighbor living in the other side of her duplex leaves a rude note on her door, she’s not interested.
Not in his dark hair, not in his physique, and definitely not in the dimples she’s only seen a hint of. She’s one hundred percent, absolutely, not interested.
Not even a little.
I liked this a lot more than I thought I would I mean Garret is just yum!! This is such a sweet and easy to read story about a single mum fighting through life when she meets a new neighbour. A good read.
