Films that earn cult status do so for many reasons, the primary one being that they stand the test of time. In some way the film still has that special something, Alligator does.
Plot: A little girl gets a pet alligator, her father doesn't like it and flushes the little reptile. Ten years later, little Al is not so little. Turns out a research laboratory has been experimenting with growth hormones on puppies and has been dumping them in the Chicago sewers, where Al now resides. Al now measures a not inconsiderable 36 feet in length. Various sewage workers go missing and detective Maddison (Robert Forster-Medium Cool, Jackie Brown) starts to investigate. Along the way he meets a reptile specialist, who also happens to be the grown up girl who owned the alligator.
Fun, fun, fun for all the family. The alligator effects and models really stand the test and his voracious appetite only adds to the enjoyment.
Budget: $1,500,000
Fun Fact: Screenwriter John Sayles also wrote Piranha.
