The Flood (I) (2023)
3/10
Don't Feed After Midnight
6 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Hurricane Gustavo is hitting Louisiana being billed as the second coming of Katrina. Many folks didn't learn the lessons of Katrina such as Clarence (John Garrett Mahlmeister) and Sommer (Devanny Pinn ) seeking shelter in the opening scene. They are not part of the story. They are just there to introduce 500 pound hungry gators. During the storm a prison transfer is somehow happening. Five prisoners are on a bus. They won't be able to reach their destination so they opt to do an overnight at the Lutree Sheriff;s Department lead by Sheriff Jo Newman (Nicky Whelan) and stunt double. One of the prisoners is cop killer Russel Cody (Casper Van Dien ) who comes across as a nice guy. In fact Russell didn't even know it when his comrades lead by Louis Mandylor try to bust him out of jail. Bullets fly but the gators also made it into the building and no one wants to fight in a "burning building."

Casper Van Dien had almost a minor role. His lines were boring. The guy making film references should have lived longer and made more film references. They attempted to do some light humor, but it felt out of place. Too Soon?

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
