Needless to say that I had never actually heard about this 2023 horror comedy titled "Crocodylus: Mating Season" prior to stumbling upon it by random chance here in 2024. However, I have to say that the movie's cover was actually interesting enough, plus it being a horror comedy that I hadn't already seen, then of course I opted to sit down and watch what writer and director Stanley Pomianowski had to offer.

I can't claim that I was impressed with what writer and director Stanley Pomianowski delivered, much less were I actually entertained throughout the course of the movie. And it was quite a struggle to sit through 85 minutes that the movie ran for. But I endured, hoping the movie would pick up and become better as it crept along. That just didn't happen.

Of course I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list in "Crocodylus: Mating Season". But I will say that the acting performances were actually good, despite the level of rubbish that the movie turned out to be.

The special effects in "Crocodylus: Mating Season" were exactly that; special. Especially the insanely fake toy cat at the kitchen table with the bottle. Not to mention the crocodylus itself, which was nothing more than a man in an ultra fake creature suit.

This movie was bad, so very, very bad. But it wasn't bad enough to actually be a fun movie to sit through.

The movie's cover was actually the best thing about the entire ordeal.

My rating of the dumpster fire that is "Crocodylus: Mating Season" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.

It is not a real movie unless u consider the under five bucks budget movies.

No graphics nothing just someone wearing a funny green suit A3 stars cuz it made me laugh a bit and actually I watched it till the end.

And that was quite funny never thought I willwatc it to the end specially cuz the beginning of the movie is showing you what is coming but out of nowhere you find urself want to know the end don't know why maybe cuz the girls super hot , she really is So if u are looking for no budget movies or wanna waste some time scrolling meaningless reels or something u create at home that's what you are looking for for.

I love this film - I love it so much, that I wrote it. Then I loved that script so much that I directed it too. Then I figured, why stop there? I should probably edit it while I'm at it. And then, well, now we have this movie.

Hi, Stanley Pomianowski, writer/director/editor here writing the first review.

So, is this film any good?

No.

It's freaking great.

It's got killer cats, auto insurance phone calls, people losing limbs, kissing, and a pirate. It also features some rocking performances. You better learn how to properly pronounce "Fusca" because lead actor, Chuck Fusca, kills with his comedic timing playing Harry Bates. Rachel Comeau (hard to sight-read last names are a requirement to be in one of my films apparently) will seduce you as Allie Glades, the damsel in distress. Andy Gion (pronounced "G"+ on; see what I'm saying about these names) plays a tough guy, police chief to perfection (He's actually very sweet in real life). Jim Serrano delights the audience and steals every scene he's in as the dedicated and oddly-hungry scientist Dr. Cash Williams.

The rest of the supporting cast is loaded with talent too! We've got Johnny Alonso, Dana Anderwald, Sheryll Carbonell, and up and comers like Ana Gorayeb, Carson Holley, and more!

Did we talk about the soundtrack yet? Anthony Espina wrote the perfectly off kilter soundtrack that made everything work so much better.

I had a lot of fun making this film and I'm very proud of everyone that helped us make the film what it is. I hope you enjoyed it too!

Writer, director and editor, Stanley Pomianowski, actually managed to pull it off. No innuendo intended there. This isn't a silly B grade movie, it is a B grade movie, but most of it actually worked. Some additional pace direction could have bumped this movie out of the B grade group.

Jim Serrano (Dr Williams) playing the crazed "doc" was well done albeit with a couple of misses. Chuck Fusca (Harry Bates) had a few laughs and his client, Allie Glades (Rachel Comeau), provided the buddy laughs with him. Andy Gion (Police Chief Rex) played his part, hands-down.

After some of the other B-Grade movies that I've recently seen, this one is one of the better ones. I was entertained and look forward to the sequel. I would recommend this.

An interesting dive into the comedy creature feature genre. Mating Season is a movie that effortlessly mutates into something like "The fly " meets "Airplane " . I really enjoyed it , possibly more so as the movie went on. Apparently even lower budget B movies can deliver hilariously driven character roles, subtle plot twists and turns that ultimately deliver a wonderful feeling of satisfaction for the viewer. It's a courageous little gem that even in its unashamedly cheesy moments wins the audience over without offering any apologies. Well worth watching for those of us who still enjoy a good old , Creature romping stomping comedy that we all willingly buy into. Bravo for this comedic breath of fresh air !!

Crocodylus Mating Season was an entertaining and quite surprising roller coaster. Watching this, I expected a straightforward, monstrous movie, yet it is far from that c. Right from the opening credits, the audience is given a clue that the movie is intentionally cult and belongs to the B movie category. There is a fault with the plot that could be seen as ridiculous because it is a dumb movie, but in the best way possible. Despite the characterization of all the protagonists as weird, they seem simple but are engaging enough to hold my attention. The main hero, Harry Bates, is an amateur, clumsy private eye, always making cheesy jokes, which made me chuckle in many scenes, even when the most terrible things happen. The dialogue is intentionally cheesy, and for the most part, the actors seem to know that they are in a cheesy B film, which makes the movie more enjoyable. One of the fun aspects of the film is the apparent minimalism of the special effects. The low-budget CGI and practical effects are hilariously bad, but it is part of the charm. One would tell by the filmmakers' eagerness to make the movie cheesy and horrible in a horror genre that it fits perfectly. That Crocodylus creature on its own is unadulterated silliness, but watching it perform is worth the watch.

However, there may be specific problems with pacing or the occasional dodge in acting, but this is only suitable for a comedy. It knows it is not a cinematic masterpiece, has fun breaking the fourth wall, and offers just what you would expect from a cheesy B-movie horror flick that is perfect for late-night showings. If you love B-movies with humor, ridiculous situations, and a bit of gore, Crocodylus: Mating Season, despite its stereotyping and crude humor style, is worth a watch.

I first learn about this film by an add that came up on Facebook. I learned that it was going to be showing at a small theater near me called the Enzian Theater. I went to see another movie there before the Crocodylus showing and saw nothing promoting the film until I was walking out of the theater and saw a card the director had left on the exit table which lucky for me had his number on it. I called and expressed my enthusiasm for wanting to see the film and he told me where to get my ticket. I was so blown away by the production of the film and story! I think that this film will have a definite cult following! I appreciated how awesome Stanley was and was not disappointed after seeing the film!!! I can't wait to buy my own copy when it is distributed!!

My wife and I attended a sneak peek of Crocodylus: Mating Season on a whim here in Florida. Expectations were low; that this will be a normal low-budget flick. I was surprised! Surprised to be entertained with crisp humor, quality acting, and a likable story that I couldn't help but connect with. And it wasn't just me. The packed theatre laughed and cheered right along with me. This has to be one of the best "lower-budget" movies I've ever seen. And the cat. Sorry human actors, but the cat was my favorite character. In the end, the director, actors and crew delivered. I am not even a fan of this genre but am looking forward to the next installment in the series.

After a very stressful day at work there's nothing like getting home, kicking off your shoes, and opening a bottle of wine. Last night was no different than most nights, only this time I came across Crocodylus Mating Season, a newly released movie. After reading the reviews I gave it a shot. Boy what a refreshing change. No CGI, just good cast of actors who obviously gelled on set. There's NOTHING worse than cheap CGI that cheesy horror films use because of a lack of organic talent. Yes, this film is low budget but it works. I needed this, it seriously made me laugh from it's silliness. Now to watch the original, Crocodylus.

This tale was lots of fun. Ha! The cast clearly likes working together and their compatibility makes for a fun story with lots of subtle and not so subtle puns and clever improv. You have the quirky mad scientist, the redeemable private detective, the determined heroine with excellent taste in intimate apparel. Add a terrific soundtrack and creative costume designer and you have the makings of a highly enjoyable movie adventure. Appreciated the lack of emphasis on bad language or gratuitous violence. Watch it with a glass of fresh never-from-concentrate 100% Florida orange juice. We anxiously await the sequel!!

This film was a lot of fun. Good writing, funny and entertaining! The first movie was good but wasn't a spoof. This one has moments of hilarity coupled with a decent storyline.

The characters were well thought out and the acting was as good as it gets with this particular genre of film. I personally had a couple of "laugh out loud" moments.

The film is creative, funny AND has lots of moments where the ridiculousness of the monster's visuals is warranted.

Also, the production side of things was very good and allowed for a more pleasurable visual aesthetic. If you want to watch a good B-Horror film spoof...check out Crocodylus: Mating Season. 👍👍😎
