This is another epic Asylum production (sarcasm alert). On the island of Sweetwater, Florida there lives a giant gator who is addicted to meth. DEA Agent Dante Williams (LaRonn Marzett) is back in town to help hunt the gator. He has had a falling out with Anna (Vanesa Tamayo) whose cartel father was taken out by the DEA. She is what passes for eye candy in this film plus some token bikini blondes. Bullets don't penetrate the gator. The gator becomes stronger with more meth consumed. The cops go undercover to look for the main meth lab. In order to do this they must join a redneck slap club. The first rule about face slapping club is..nevermind.

The film was unintentionally (?) funny. Hard to tell with Asylum. I laughed out loud with the gater climbing a cell tower. After breaking into a room and devouring a guy and meth, it scampers out when someone knocks on the door, like Superman ducking guns thrown at him.

Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.

Oh well, what can you do... : )

Actually, even though I FF through the obvious Asylum filler, the action scenes were pretty 'good', using the term EXTREMELY loosely. The Redneck slapping contest was too much.

The only thing I can say honestly is that yes, this movie was actually much better than 'COCAINE BEAR' which I couldn't even finish. And, even at that, I can only truly give it a '4'...

I mean, what else can I possibly say. You frigg'n KNOW what you are getting into here, but I guess if you find this kind of thing funny you might get a tiny bit of entertainment out of it.

Oh, I'm gonna be a 'Guy' here for a moment... The main girl was quite shapely and kind of cute... until she opened her mouth... Okay... Guy stuff done, sorry... :D

You know... I downloaded 'SHARKS OF THE CORN' like 2 years ago or whenever it came out. I just could NOT pass up a name like that. But, to be honest, I haven't gotten up the courage actually to watch it yet...

Of course I wasn't harboring much of any expectations to a movie titled "Methgator", but ever since I heard about it, I wanted to sit down and watch it. Of course this was something that was spawned in the wake of the "Cocaine Bear" movie. And with this movie being made by The Asylum, you know it is a mockbuster of aforementioned movie.

The storyline in the movie was adequate for a movie of this type and caliber. You pretty much know what you're in for here, and writers Lauren Pritchard and Joe Roche do deliver all the campy cheese that you can eat. And that actually makes "Methgator" a movie proved to be watchable, despite all odds.

The whole part with the cheek slapping thing was just laughable. Even when you stumble upon it on the Internet, you can't help but laugh at the stupidity behind that "sport", and I use the word sport mockingly here, because slapping someone on the cheek until then are knocked out is not a sport, it is just downright stupidity. And why the writers opted to put that in the movie is just beyond my comprehension, but I suppose one or both of them enjoy watching that on the Internet.

Needless to say that I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress in the movie. And that is usually something I do enjoy when I sit down to watch a movie. I will say that the acting performances in "Methgator" were adequate, at least they were better than what I had expected.

Visually then "Methgator" was not a good movie. And even for a movie by The Asylum, it was pretty terrible CGI effects. And when you have a movie relying on a creature that is entirely CGI animated, you might want to throw a larger chunk of the budget at the CGI developers. The Asylum hadn't done that, and as such, the CGI animated gator in the movie was pretty terrible to look at most of the times.

"Methgator" is a movie that is suitable for a single viewing, then it will just quietly fade into oblivion.

My rating of director Christopher Ray's 2023 movie "Methgator" lands on a generous four out of ten stars.
