A handful of tourists looking for adventure get more than they bargained for when they cross paths with a massive man-eating beast in this thriller. Pete McKell (Michael Vartan) is a writer for an American travel magazine who has been assigned to write a story about vacationing in rugged Northern Australia. Pete signs up for a cruise along a river that's home to a large crocodile population, with tough but pretty Kate Ryan (Radha Mitchell) serving as guide. Pete soon finds he's roughing it in the Aussie wilds with an eclectic variety of travelers, including Russell (John Jarratt), who is dealing with the death of his wife; Simon (Stephen Curry), a tactless amateur photographer; and Allen (Geoff Morrell), a member of the British upper crust making the trip with his ailing spouse (Heather Mitchell) and their rambunctious daughter (Mia Wasikowska). While Kate's former husband, who also works on the river, makes a pest of himself in the early stages of the voyage, the travelers soon find they have more to worry about when their craft is attacked by a massive 25-foot crocodile, who is just clever enough to know how to trap its prey before enjoying them for dinner. Rogue was written and directed by Greg McLean, who made a splash among horror fans in 2005 with his debut film, WOLF CREEK.

I saw this in Sainsbury's the other day (priced at £9.99 of course) and read the back. I then went home a little later and looked up the reviews and the vast majority of people who have seen this, say it's actually pretty good. Don't assume it's of the same calibre as Lake Placid (where, let's face it - was pretty dire).

I haven't watched it yet, but I believe I will do by the weekend. Not a bad price OP

i thought lake placid was really good. Very dry humour throughout. The croc bits were laughable, but i loved the script.

Lake placid 2 though... dont go there. Just dont.

Ahh I didn't think it was the worst film I've seen, but a few reviews online had people commenting on them trying to compare the two. I'll take your word on the sequel haha.

On another note, I bought "Crocodile" sometime last year on offer in Sainsbury's for £1. I still haven't watched it yet as supposed to be awful.

We need some decent horror / thrillers coming out these days. I still need to watch the new Saw film, but there's good reviews on one called "Trick or Treat" which I haven't seen yet.
