Directed by Greg McLean • 2007 • Australia
Starring Radha Mitchell, Michael Vartan, Sam Worthington
The old-school creature feature gets a new twist in this ferociously entertaining Australian killer-croc shocker that favors precision-controlled suspense over explicit gore. When American travel journalist Pete McKell (Michael Vartan) travels to the remote swampland of Oz’s Northern Territory, he joins a motley crew of fellow tourists on a boat cruise led by guide Kate Ryan (Radha Mitchell). As tensions flare between the passengers, they soon find they’ve got something much bigger to worry about in the form of a twenty-five-foot, man-eating crocodile who’s none too happy they’re there.
