Remember one thing, there is no such thing as a good computer generated alligator … you will need that thought placed clearly — and deeply — in your skull if you are to survive the terror of director Danny Draven’s latest horror tale.

To that point, Full Moon Features — with sales and distribution support provided by MVD Entertainment Group — has selected May 7 as the release date for both DVD and Blu-ray editions of Draven’s Bad CGI Gator.

Make no mistake this has the key elements of a classic haunted house horror story.   That means that there must be two key components in place to make this classic genre motif a reality.   

First, the victim pool (which, in this case, numbers six college students) and second, the “haunted house,” which doesn’t have to be a literal “haunted house” — the place can certainly be a real haunted mansion, or just simply a creepy old barn … or a cabin in the woods, a spacecraft drifting in space — any remote cutoff location (think: trapped) will do.

From the filmmaker who gave us the likes of Hell Asylum, Deathbed and The Offerings, Danny Draven knows how to make a horror film.   He also knows how to have fun (producer of Evil Bong and Pupper Master films) and that’s exactly what Bad CGI Gator is … fun!!   

The script from Zalman Band is also something of an homage to ‘50’s creature features — science run amok and the result being giant spiders, mutant ants and even, dare we say it, alligator people.

Six college students (victim pool) arrive at a lakeside cabin (remote location) with the plan to party and have sexual encounters and to get the festivities started they toss their laptops (likely filled with Microsoft viruses) into the lake.   That’s all it takes for a mutant gator to become an instant AI/CGI killing machine … need we say more!!

Bonus goodies include commentary by Draven and Band, a blooper reel, Jojo Draven’s music score as an isolated track option, the featurette titled “Cast Table Read at Full Moon Manor!” and two podcasts — “Dead Talk Live!” and “Screams from the Basement.”
