A tourist resort in
Africa finds itself at the mercy of a huge man-eating alligator. Seemingly,
this creature is the incarnation of a native god angered by the intrusion
of western profiteers. It's the grand opening of a new extravagant hotel
and rich tourists suddenly find themselves in extreme danger. After a
few natives get killed and eaten by the GatorGod, the savages naturally
blame the influx of tourists who become the targets for both the natives
and the killer alligator.

Sergio Martino shot this film back-to-back with ISLAND

deliver the goods far beyond the meager melodramatic roots.
