Crocodile 2: Death Roll

Four criminals flee a bank job and head for Mexico, only to be swept into chaos by a violent storm that sends their escape plan spiraling into disaster. The crash leaves several dead and a single survivor draws the attention of a mother crocodile lurking in the water. The criminals think the danger ends when they kill the beast, but the swamp refuses to release its grip. The landscape becomes a breathing trap where every step invites another encounter with the hungry predator. Fear drives the group toward suspicion and backstabbing, and the line between predator and prey blurs as survival pressures push loyalties to their breaking point. Old grudges flare while new alliances are formed under danger's ruthless glare.

Directed by Gary Jones and written by Jace Anderson, Boaz Davidson and Adam Gierasch, Crocodile 2: Death Roll arrived in 2002 with a modest budget of 2.2 million dollars. With a lean production approach and practical effects, it delivers carnage.
