Arriving in Australia to shoot a documentary piece, the crew and the locals find the shoot has attracted the attention of a monstrous crocodile and must try to get away from the deadly creature before they become victims.A strangely fun entry, as there's very few solid points about this one that should make it as good as it really is. The fact that the attacks in here are among the film's best qualities is no surprise, as that's the main point in such a film, but by making them high-quality as they are it's a surprising quality, with all the dismembered limbs, superb crocodile animatronics and vicious deaths being dished out. On top of that, it's pretty creepy at points where it's still just a shadow stalking the group, and then it ramps up the action in the second half with several notable chase scenes that actually manage to get a jump every now and then from the action on-screen. That said, there's still some flaws here as the film is quite confusing with its story, since little is mentioned about the sport or what's so popular about it, or why it decides to throw in the pirates to the story when it never mentioned them beforehand and dispatches them shortly thereafter, creating a rather frantic story. Sure, the movie's cheesy beyond belief as well, but otherwise that's all that's wrong with it.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity, and a sex scene.

I chose to watch this movie on demand very late at night one day. The idea caught my attention, some adrenaline junkies looking for a thrill decide to chum the water in order to attract sharks to boost the extremes of surfing. But when a 30-foot Crocodile is thrown into the mix. Now I thought since this was in the year 2000 that there would at least be a cheesy animatronic, which really adds to the B horror movie appeal. However to my surprise, the Crocodile appeared in a clash of horrible CG. Now giving this film a 30% does seem somewhat generous but it was entirely for the originality of the plot. Another problem I had with this film was the incredible amount of problems and stock footage. The scenes would cut to swamp, to ocean to lake. It was horrible to watch them try to cover these flaws up. The scenery did not even seem to hide the fact that the backgrounds were incredibly different. Another little problem I had with this flick was the vast amount of topless woman. It was as if they popped their tops purely to please the viewers. This movie even uses the oldest of horror movie tricks, kill the females and give us a douche of a main character that just wont die until the end of the movie is close. And even towards the end the topless women still appeared. In one scene the two women who have made it all the way without dying flash their breasts and scream out "Fuck you Alligator". I had a major problem with that, first of all it's a Crocodile not an Alligator. The cast could not even get the right species correct. And secondly, why are they taking their tops off for an Crocodile. It makes little to no sense. Overall, this movie is bad, it's filled with holes all throughout the flick. It's not even worth viewing, there really is nothing that makes this movie worth watching unless your a horny adolescent who gets off by watching flat chested women take off their tops.

I enjoy monster movies as much as the next guy,and 'Blood Surf' is one of those movies that I enjoyed.But I have seen other movies about a giant man-eating crocodile that were slightly better.Examples of these would be 'Crocodile' and 'Lake Placid.'And there are some croc movies that are worse,such as 'Supercroc.'Anyway,I thought that 'Blood Surf' was a very entertaining monster movie.But why did this movie get a rating as low as a 3.Come on people,what's wrong with you?Don't you find people being ripped apart by a giant reptile in a horror movie a little enjoyable.Sure,I know that the croc kinda looked fake but just sit down and have a good time.

A Movie about a bunch of some kind of filmmakers, who want to make a documentary on a new kind of surfing in shark-infested waters. As an absolute fan of movies including some kind of vicious animals or monsters, I thought this might be my kind of movie... it wasn't!!! This should be more of a guideline of how not to do it! It has a lot of accidental humor in it and the evil beast is an incredible joke, in the final scene it goes after the main characters *rolling*, the feet are obviously waving in the air! It looks ridiculous! Good for a laugh though. If it were only for the lack of talent between the actors, the embarrassingly stupid dialogs and the hilariously stupid crocodile, it would be at least worth a laugh, but it gets worse: I'd guess, the people in charge of this movie noticed how weak it was, so they though up the old idea of "sex sells"... Totally, i mean TOTALLY without any reasons one of the main actresses shows her breasts to the beast. And somewhere towards the beginning there's some kind of meaningless "makeout". This is the last ingredient making the movie absolute trash to me. It's incredible how people actually spend time producing such rubbish! If you are seeking for a real waste of time: watch this movie!!!
