Review of The Alligator People

Another mad scientist/monster movie from the 1950s where we have people who are slowly becoming alligators. Not gonna bother much with the plot for you b/c if you bother to see this you'll see that they enjoy explaining crap to you over and over again (seriously, how many times does Lon Chaney explain the reason he has a hook hand?)…which actually kinda makes it an unintentionally funny film and most definitely hokey. The special effects are not very special at all and the only redeeming quality other than the so bad it's good acting is Lon Chaney's portrayal of a drunken Bayou man who lost his hand to an alligator and has a big beef with them reptiles. Too bad he wasn't in more scenes, but the few he is in makes up for a lot of the other deficiencies. Not a bad way to waste an evening. It's only 74 minutes long and if you enjoy monster movies then you might as well see it with a few brews and a couple of good friends who are in the know.
