Just added: Robert Forster will join us IN PERSON, schedule permitting, on Tuesday, September 5th, for a Q&A between Alligator and Jackie Brown.
Beneath those manholes, a man-eater is waiting… every mother’s nightmare proves true as a pet Alligator gets flushed then grows to gigantic proportions on a diet of discarded lab animals in the dark sewers under a modern city. It’s 36 feet long and weighs 2000 pounds. Nobody knows it’s down there except the people it eats. Starring Jackie Brown‘s Robert Forster and featuring a fright-filled, quick-witted script by indie auteur John Sayles!
“Suspense is frequently as genuine as its wit and its fond awareness of the clichés” – Vincent Canby, The New York Times
“Thanks to a witty John Sayles script, solid performances, effective effects and Lewis Teague’s spirited B-level direction, this monster movie crawls out of the creature feature pack and delivers old-fashioned entertainment with comic and satirical footnotes.” – Kim Newman, Empire
