Its hard to fathom their lack of faith in the film because not only is there a solid cast of up and coming Australian actors, including Sam Worthington, Radha Mitchell and Mia Wasikowska, but its also a decent creature feature in its own right. Theres the usual group of tourists stranded on an island with the tide rising and darkness creeping in, but the arrival of an enormous crocodile rules out swimming to safety. Perhaps Dimension were mindful of The Asylums cheap creature features and figured people wouldnt pay to see something they could watch on television for free, but whatever their reasoning, they passed up a good movie.
