When her father seemingly goes missing, divorcee Laura LeCrois is forced to return home after a 20-year hiatus. However, home is not the way Laura remembers it. Her father is in major debt with the bank, her ex-boyfriend is the town sheriff, and her ex-husband has quit his job as a world-renowned professor who is now suspiciously buying up swampland in the area. In an effort to save the swamp and to pass the time, Laura decides to work the dying family business giving boat tours of the Louisiana swamp. But on her first sunset tour, deep in the swamp, Laura and her passengers witness two Bayou swamp rats toss a squirming body into a gator pit, only the gators aren't the ones that feast on the flesh. Instead it's the most terrifying creature Laura has ever seen...a cloned Pliosaur dinosaur, affectionately known as Predator X. An early ancestor of the alligator and called the "T-Rex of the ocean", Predator X is nearly 50 ft long, has giant, razor sharp teeth and is lightning fast in the water. Now, lost in the Louisiana wetlands, Laura must save her tour from a prehistoric predator that is supposed to be extinct!
Laura, the daughter of Pappy, a local fisherman, takes the land into her own hands after he goes missing. She's bitchy, but she has big tits and there are cleavage shots, so it's cool.
[Live thoughts on our unfortunate minority:
"Looks like our minority is Mexican? Wait, I can't place his accent. He looks Latin but sounds... Cajun? Eh, what does it matter? He's worm food anyway."]
During a boat tour, she finds her father and watches as he's tied up by two hillbillies and fed to the Gator. She is then captured as well. The sheriffs find the creature's tooth and get set to investigate. He finds out that laura went missing after the tour and questions the shady doctor that intends to buy up the land. They have the traditional tough guy talk, and then part ways.
Dr. Shady doctor explains to a deputy that the gator may actually be a Pleiosaur, an ancestor to the Alligator. He then convinces the him to compare the tooth he found with the fossils that the hillbillies own. Inside the hillbilly haven, Laura tries to form an escape plan when the deputy shows, but he is easily knocked unconscious by Dr. Shady. It is then revealed that he is behind the everything. He kidnapped Pappy for the land and created and released Predator X in an attempt to birth more Pleiosaurs.
The Sheriff and Tacos Gumbo (MexiCajun? Cajuxican?) take a boat out on the swamp to search for Laura and guess who dies in that scene? (Hint: It's the minority.) Missing all of the action, the Sheriff finally decides to climb down from his two day hiding spot and shows up to help save the day. In the end, they manage to feed Dr.Shady to the beast and finally stop the monster with the good old fashioned "Hey monster! Eat this!" (Dynamite. Boom. Credits)

- "The first rule of police work: no body no crime" "Isn't that the first rule of murder?"
- "Looks like lefty is now, a true lefty"
- "We not the monsters. The monster is outside. You wanna see my monster? I'll show it to you."
As you can tell, the acting is terrible, but they tried. Oh, how they tried. I was in the mood for a bad flick and I keep bad films on the Netflix Queue for just such an occasion. As far as bad movies go, I've seen worse. Plus it had a surprisingly high production value for a B-movie and there's a twist towards the end.
Out of Ten? 5
Violence? Yes
Explosions? Yes
Nudity? No
