Featured review
Stumbling upon this 2023 thriller titled "The Flood" by random chance here in 2023, and seeing that it was an aligator-based movie with Casper Van Dien, I must admit that I was somewhat intrigued. And thus, I opted to sit down and watch what writers Chad Law and Josh Ridgway had to offer.
Not a whole lot, as it turned out. Nay, "The Flood" turned out to be very bland and run-of-the-mill type of movie with aligators becoming a threat to people during a flood. It has all been done and seen before, so you're not in for anything grand or innovative here. And the movie just never really got up into a proper gear, making it a rather monotonous movie to sit through.
The character gallery in "The Flood" was pretty generic, and you could essentially pluck the characters out of those movie and replace them into any other movie of this type and still end up with the same result. Yeah, the writing for this movie was pretty lazy.
The cast ensemble in "The Flood" was actually fairly okay, with the likes of Casper Van Dien, Louis Mandylor, Nicky Whelan and Kim DeLonghi on the cast list, among others. The acting performances in the movie were as you would expect for a movie such as this, and the actors and actresses weren't really given much contents to work with from the script.
Visually, then I have to admit that I am a bit surprised that movies with this type of fake-looking CGI rendered and animated aligators still see the light of day in 2023. Sure, it wasn't the worst of CGI I have seen, but it was fairly amateurish. And truth be told, a movie such as this can't afford to have questionable CGI, because it just takes away so muchly needed focus from the movie.
Watchable for what it was, "The Flood" is not a movie that is going to wash you away by any means. In fact, the movie came and went without leaving any lasting impression, and the aligators packed almost no bite. If you manage to sit through the 93 minutes one time, chances are high that you will never do so again. I know that I am not returning to watch director Brandon Slagle's 2023 movie "The Flood" a second time.
My rating of "The Flood" lands on a four out of ten stars.
