"The Great Alligator" is an Italian horror film directed by Sergio Martino that has a good mix of horror with great action and adventure, like a good amount of his other films. It covers a tourist resort in Africa finds itself at the mercy of a huge man-eating crocodile from a local native legend which the croc is the incarnation of a native god angered by the intrusion of the tourists on its nesting ground. After a group of indigenous natives are subsequently killed and eaten, the rest that are still alive naturally blame the tourists and they set out to kill them. All while the survivors try to rally on a boat with the hungry crocodile in the water, and the blood-thirsty natives wanting retribution on land waiting for them. The action and suspense is overall well done, and it also has plenty of good drama, dialogue, and well developed characters. This should definitely appeal to those into the jungle themed horror films, along with other films directed by Sergio Martino.
