Ramon the alligator is flushed down the toilet as a baby and grows into a gargantuan monster by eating the corpses of laboratory animals who have undergone dubious hormone experiments, thus providing all the ecological and social subtext that one could possibly wish for, even if one doesn't normally go for films about giant alligators eating people left, right, and center--which is the inevitable and tragic result of Ramon's decision that the outside world looks rather more interesting than the sewers....

    Alligator (1980) is a traditionally formulaic monster movie, but surprisingly good. Sure there is the unlikely romance between the protagonist aging-cop-with-a-history Robert Forster as David Madison, and the “teeny-bopper” scientist expert Robin Riker as Marisa Kendall, but it is tastefully done. A child’s pet alligator, Ramon, flushed by an unsympathic father, survives and when fully grown, twelve years later, is a biggie. It seems that a questionable animal experimentation laboratory is disposing of unwanted dog carcasses in the sewer system; it, of course, seems they were experimenting with growth hormones. The adult Ramon does have excellent taste in food as he hastily disposes of several of the villains in the movie. Thanks, Ramon. Some of the animal carcasses are quite realistic, but could also possibly be staged. No AHA note at the end, however. If you can get past the realistic animal cadavers and some blood from severed human limbs, it is an entertaining movie.
