Potentially fun camp-horror thriller about a father & daughter trying to survive a hurricane and attacking alligators suffers from overwritten script (too hoaky to be credible but not awful enough to qualify as so-bad-its-good) and CGI gaters that aren't scary and can't seem to even take small bites out of the protagonists.
