Here is Australia's answer to Jaws! I'm kind of surprised it took them so long to come up with this idea, given that Australia is known for being rammed to the gunnels with creatures that don't like us very much. So, it seems obvious that the Aussies should make a movie about a giant killer croc. It follows the Jaws template a bit but it does have the different angle where the ranger tries to ensure the croc ISN'T killed on account of his Aborigine buddies ensuring him that the creature possesses the spirit of the past or something. So, there is a sort of an eco-friendly angle to this one but pleasingly that doesn't stop the croc going around eating various people - usually morally dubious types but also an innocent child! I'm a sucker for a water-based monster movie so this one worked just nicely for me and its Australian vibes were a great Brucie Bonus. Also notable for starring future Wolf Creek maniac John Jarratt as the hero and legendary Aborigine actor David Gulpilil.
