Back in July, we heard that Full Moon was moving ahead with a horror comedy called Bad CGI Gator, which was scheduled to start filming in Georgia in August. Proving that things move fast at Full Moon, the company has now released a trailer for Bad CGI Gator, which can be seen in the embed above – and along with the trailer release comes the announcement that the film is set to begin streaming on Amazon’s Prime Video and FullMoonfeatures.com on November 24th!
Directed by Danny Draven (Weedjies: Halloweed Night) from a script by Zalman Band, the son of producer and Full Moon founder Charles Band, Bad CGI Gator has the following synopsis: Six college grads on spring break get a cabin in the swamplands of Georgia. Once there, they decide to throw their school laptops in a backyard lake in an act of youthful defiance, which unknowingly turns a lurking alligator into the dreaded and insatiable… BAD CGI GATOR!
Charles Band provided the following statement: “I’ve long been against the overuse of CGI in genre films, and in many ways, this movie is a fun, tongue-in-cheek antidote to that. When done right, CGI is a great tool to accent special effects. When done wrong… well, we get BAD CGI GATOR! Get ready!“
I have been a fan of Full Moon since I was a kid, but there aren’t a whole lot of “bad CGI animal” movies that I have enjoyed… so I think that Full Moon getting into the sub-genre just to try to wring some laughs out of it is a great turn of events. This is a really fun idea that looks like it has been turned into a fun movie. I can’t wait to see the Bad CGI Gator in action.
