"Alligator"
(1980)
Director: Lewis Teague
Writer: John Sayles
DOP: Joseph Mangine
A late 70s creature feature "Jaws" ripoff that is way better than it deserves to be for a few reasons:
quality special effects for such a low budget
several cool and eerie alligator eyeball close-up shots
a good cast that takes everything completely seriously, led by the late, great Robert Forster and natural 70s babe Robin Riker.
a John Sayles script that interjects his world view with many anti-corporate, anti-capitalism messages, culminating in a slaughter during a wedding of the elite. Eat the rich indeed.
