The Incredibles
Rogue - Wolf Creek directors new film about Giant killer Croc finally opens

So after many delays Greg Mclean’s Rogue is finally getting its first theatrical opening worldwide in its homeland of Australia on 8th November. There is still no date set for the US so we’ll probably have a Oz DVD out before it premier in the US.
Welcome to the terrortory.
An idyllic wildlife cruise disintegrates into terror when a party of tourists are stalked by a massive man-eating crocodile.
Pete McKell (Michael Vartan), a cynical American travel writer, joins a disparate group of holiday-makers on a river cruise through the waters of Kakadu National Park. Initially Pete clashes with their tour captain, Kate Ryan (Radha Mitchell), a feisty young woman who assumes he is just another ‘city-slicker’ in search of a quick thrill. After an uneventful day cruising the river, Kate is reluctantly persuaded to steer their boat into unexplored territory. They discover a secluded lake but terror strikes when their craft receives a powerful blow from beneath the murky depths and begins to sink. With little choice, she beaches the vessel on the closest dry land -a tiny mud island. With a rising tide and only half an hour of daylight left, fear grips the group as they realize they are trapped in the lair of a ‘rogue’ crocodile, governed only by its need to hunt and kill. Begrudgingly, Pete and Kate join forces to keep hysteria at bay and in the process start to see beyond their initial impressions. Their first attempt to escape fails, but then Pete has an idea - they must trap the crocodile to enable the group to flee to the other side of the island whilst Kate swims for help. Pete volunteers to stand guard, but without warning, the beast breaks free and targets Kate who fails to resurface. As darkness descends and the muddy waters rise, a terrifying struggle ensues with only one probable outcome death.

Thanks for this bit of news Roystalin! I loved Greg Mclean’s “Wolf Creek” - very gruesome but a genuinely creepy movie. I am definitely interested in seeing this film and hopefully it won’t be like the other alligator-in-the-lake movie “Lake Placid” which was horrible. My favorite alligator movie still has to be Lewis Teague’s “Alligator”. Too bad its sequel (Alligator 2: The Mutation) was a major disappointment and beyond bad.

The Weinsteins will either quickly dump this on DVD or dump it in the dregs of January/February next year. That’s my guess.

I’ve been hearing bad things about this, but based on McLean’s strong work with rote material in WOLF CREEK I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt (Radha Mitchell gets a pass in my book, too for now).
This has been pushed so many times I’m just assuming it’ll be a DTV title in the states. Just hurry up and release it, either way!

Terrible tag line though… “Welcome to the terrortory"… UGH!

I’m a sucker, as I am inexplicably a fan of giant aligator/croc films and think this film looks pretty enjoyable. If your jonesin’ for some more “Australian Croc films” Check out 1987’s Dark Age which is a really fun film....even though it is a bit difficult to track down.

Saw Rogue at Sitges and nothing good to report. I’m a fan of Wolf Creek and monster croc/alligator movies like Alligator and Dark Age. It was absolutely painful watching this movie and how bad it turned out to be. I’m very sad to say this.
