“How did they get in here?”

The Flood released on demand on July 14th 2023. The horror film stars Casper Van Dien, Nicky Whelan, Louis Mandylor, and Devanny Pinn. It runs for approximately 92 minutes.

In the middle of a hurricane, several dangerous prisoners are transported to a local jail, but when gators enter the premises, they need to work together with the sheriff to make it out alive.

Here is the trailer:

The Flood is a super fun creature film with lots of entertaining moments. Is it worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Fun B-movie action.

As long as you accept that you are watching a standard B-movie, you’ll have a lot more fun with this one. I loved the absurd plot and action. There are a few recognizable faces in this film, which made it a blast too. Casper Van Dien is still a boss and I recently enjoyed Nicky Whelan in the shark flick, Maneater.

Decent premise.

It may not be that original, but it was entertaining. It’s pretty much a mash-up Crawl and Assault on Precinct 13 in a cheesy way and I think it worked for the most part. Gators don’t get as much love as sharks in film and I was happy to see another entry here for summer. More please!

The Cons:

Terrible CGI…

Like really, really bad. From the gators to the fake rain…wow. It left a lot to be desired. If you can look past that, then there is still plenty to enjoy here, however. Be prepared for some cringe-worthy dialogue and random slow motion fight scenes that are beyond silly as well.

The first half of the film was a little difficult to get through, but I will say that things drastically improved in the second half and I enjoyed it a lot more.

So am I in or out?

I’m in about 75 percent…

There’s plenty of cheesy fun gator attacks to indulge in here.

If you appreciate and enjoy B-movie creature flicks as much as I do, you’ll have a blast with this one.

DON’T TAKE THE JOB…

It was only supposed to be temporary…but when Olivia Crewe accepts a new position that seems too good to be true, she soon discovers that twelve other girls previously had the same job as her. Only none of them lasted for more than thirty days. No notice. Nothing…right before they mysteriously disappeared without a trace.

My supernatural thriller Girl Number Thirteen is out now! I hope you enjoy!
