MonsterVision99 I wanted to watch "Razorteeth" by the Polonia brothers, since I watched "Bigfoot vs Zombies" earlier and decided to watch another one of their movies, I couldn't find it online but I found this similar film (both in concept and in name) and it looked interesting so I decided to see it. "Razortooth" its not very good at all. By SOV monster movie standards its about as average as you could get in the genre, a giant monster its on the loose and kills people, that's about it, I wasn't expecting anything more. It has a few decent kills and the effects are terrible yet somewhat enjoyable for the kind of movie it is. I was actually kinda of surprised at the amount of gore and deaths in the movie, these movies are often disappointing in that aspect but "Razortooth" delivers the goods.It tries to be comedic but falls flat (again, same thing happens in a lot of these movies), the characters are a bit likable, the editing its awful, its terribly written and directed but it could have been worse, it could have been a Polonia movie.

SlasherCon It's a giant altered eel killing people. If you got some friends or want to have a laugh, it's an okay movie. The eel itself and it's special effects are alright, but people in this movie are too stupid to seem real. Hardly anyone even tried to shoot the eel. One guy just keeps running with his mug with has some drink in it.(Guess it tastes good enough to die for) Some characters such as two convicts at the start of the movie play a role in the story, but the convicts themselves do nothing, but get eaten.After The scientist who created the giant eel tells them how to kill it, they do just what he says. Guess what? It doesn't work. After they try that, the main character starts to wrestle with it. Yes, a man wrestles a giant eel that eats people and we are told it has enhanced muscle from the alteration. It's okay if you watch it with low expectations.

henri sauvage But I'll try, anyway, to save the unsuspecting from wasting 90 minutes of their life on this fetid tripe.So what makes this different from any other of the last few years' crop of straight-to-DVD Creature Features? Is it the moronic dialog and crappy CGI? The trite stereotypes played by no-name "actors" incapable of evoking love or hate -- much less even a flicker of interest? The clichés running out its metaphorical ears and comedy as flat as month-old roadkill? ("Hey, look at the really fat, gross redneck get pulled down through his own outhouse!") The farting dog? The towering hackery? I don't know. I don't want to know. I only want this sf sub-genre to finally die a well-deserved and long-overdue death.It doesn't matter that once in a blue moon you get something like "Deep Rising", with real wit and style to match its copious gore; it just encourages the clowns who create this cinematic sludge to squeeze out more of their "entertainment product".

Paul Andrews Razortooth is set somewhere in Florida where local animal control official Delmar Coates (Doug Swander) & his ex wife & local Sheriff Ruth Gainey (Kathleen LaGue) start to get strange reports of disappearing animals. Then the horribly mutilated dead bodies of the townsfolk start turning up, the Sheriff thinks it's down to two escaped convicts Eddie (Max Rishoj) & Sal (Josuha Rubin) while Delmar has his suspicions about ex ETF scientist Dr. Soren Abramson (Simon Page) & his genetic experiments. It turns out that Abramson created a huge Eel in the laboratory which escaped into the swamp & is pretty much eating anything & anyone it comes across, as the population of the town starts to rapidly decrease it's up to Delmar & Ruth to kill the Eel...Directed by Patricia Harrington this pretty standard by-the-numbers 'Creature Feature' seems to universally disliked but I have to say that I rather enjoyed it for what it was, sure there are goings to be any number of people on the IMDb who will state as fact Razortooth is the 'worst film eva' but then just about every film on here (horror in particular) has at least one 'worst film eva' type comment or thread on it's message board. First of all I will say that Razortooth is no masterpiece, far from it in fact but I did actually quite like it. The script by Matt Holly who played Mark & Jack Monroe who played the fat Deputy is your standard 'Creature Feature' scenario, some sort of animal is either genetically enhanced, strengthened or altered to an extent where it wants to kill & eat anyone it meets. People making these 'Creature Features' are probably running out of creatures to use, we have had everything from Ant's to Snakehead fish to Spiders to Scorpions to Bats to Crocodiles to Alligators to Mosquito's to Komodo lizards to Shark's to all sorts of Snakes large & small & even a woolly Mammoth. In the case of Razortooth it the turn of the Eel, I am not sure the filmmakers went for anatomical accuracy as it doesn't really look like any Eel I have ever seen but at least it's big, it's fast, it's got plenty of large teeth & it likes to eat people & quite frankly that's more than good enough for me. For anyone who has seen a 'Creature Feature' before Razortooth is very predictable & clichéd but I actually didn't mid it that much since it moves along at a good pace, it never bored me, there are loads of Eel attacks & death scenes that kept me entertained & while the character's were a little faceless & forgettable I didn't find anyone annoying & most of them behaved in a reasonably believable way. Look what it boils down to is that Razortooth is a above average 'Creature Feature' that I thought was miles better than just about any of those horrible Sci-Fi channel originals, having said all that it is only just an opinion & I am sure there will be many out there who won't be as charitable to Razortooth as I am. Ultimately you pay your money you take your chances.Director Harrington does a fine job here, the production values are better than I expected & the film actually looks pretty good. She gets right into the action & lets us see the Eel straight away so there's no long uneventful drawn out build up which I liked. Now lets talk special effects. I am sure many out there will say that the effects are terrible, well I think they are a mixed bag to be honest. Some are fairly impressive like the scene of the Eel chasing the Deputy & that guy through the woods & it biting him in half while the effect of it sliding down the drain after eating the woman in the shower is truly dire. I would say half of the effects are pretty good while the other half are pretty poor. The Eel itself looks good & fairly vicious. There's some blood & gore, a few people are bitten in half & there's quite a lot of blood splatter. There's an obvious nod towards low budget filmmaker Roger Corman since the town's diner is called Kormann's.According to the IMDb Razortooth had a budget of about $3,000,000 which seems like a lot of money, personally I think the IMDb got that wrong. Although set in the swamps of Florida it was apparently shot in Los Angeles. The acting isn't great but I have seen worse, it's just about bearable.Razortooth was a pleasant surprise to me, I liked it. I must admit I have seen loads of those awful Sci-Fi channel & Nu-Image produced 'Creature Features' & am pretty tired & fed up with the genre but I genuinely did like Razortooth, it ain't no masterpiece but it did entertain me & these days that's really all you can hope for.
