What critics said
Critics generally found the film entertaining as a campy croc feature but faulted its unrealistic low-budget CGI and supposedly inconclusive ending.
What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
The central danger comes from giant crocodiles attacking people inside the fenced Black Lake sanctuary.
The electric fence is left open, allowing the school bus and its passengers to enter the crocodile sanctuary.
The film combines crocodile attacks, an implausible premise, broad character dynamics, and low-budget monster effects.
A high-school field trip becomes the main human vulnerability when the bus enters Black Lake.
