Time is often kind to schlocky B-movies. With a few decades of hindsight, what once appeared cheap and sloppy can take on a certain crude charm – indeed, a veneer of innocence that makes even the offensive stuff appear kind of quaint. “Ah,” we might sigh. “Times were simpler then.” With any luck, the same fate awaits the new killer-gator flick The Flood, whose best (or perhaps just most amusing) moments are the ones that recall similar fare from 20-plus years ago.
The premise is straight out of a ’70s drive-in picture: A busload of dangerous criminals, each of introduced with their own badass title card, are forced to spend the night in the holding cells of a small-town sheriff’s station in rural Louisiana while a deadly hurricane rages outside. The water level is rising, as are (ostensibly, anyway) the tensions between the convicts, their handlers, and the hard-nosed lady sheriff (Nicky Whelan) who runs the joint.

Don’t forget the posse of mercenaries in bulletproof vests, who ambush the station on a rescue mission to free one of the prisoners, Russell Cody (Casper Van Dien), for reasons that remain unclear even after they’re explained. That happens just before a pair of alligators slither into the building through a vent in the roof, swimming through the waist-high water that fills much of the station and forcing this disparate crew to band together to survive. How did the alligators get onto the roof? Don’t worry about it. Strong winds, maybe.
The characters in The Flood speak in a melange of accents, from an earnest attempt at a Cajun dialect – shoutout to Eoin O’Brien as convicted meth cook “Big Jim,” unlicensed gator expert and the only truly likable character in the movie – to a Southern drawl that plays more like a British-Australian hybrid. They all talk real tough, and spit out dialogue with the intensity of the countless rounds impotently fired at thick-skinned gators throughout the movie.

There’s a certain crude charm to B-movies like The Flood, made on the cheap and offering little more than what you see on the poster: Namely, bloody monster-movie action. But the promising premise – cops and convicts banding together to survive a gator attack during a deadly hurricane – loses momentum quickly, thanks to stiff performances and subpa...

Jul 14, 2023 · THE FLOOD is a new horror movie with both alligators and a hurricane. Oh, and a jailbreak. And no, it’s not campy. Not really. And that’s the true sin of this movie because it could’ve been Sharknado-fun otherwise. Read our The Flood movie review here!
