The trailer opens with chanting over shots of a sunset, cliffs, someone's feet hitting the dirt as they exit a car, a waterfall from above, birds lifting off from a field, and then: Michael Vartan?! What? That is not where I thought this was heading at all, but he's pretty so I'll take it. Apparently it was his feet exiting the car, and now he's looking around. I believe the chanting is supposed to make us realize he's in an unfamiliar location. We get some pretty shots of a swamp, more Michael looking hot in his sunglasses and then we see typed words under dirty glass being rubbed clean by someone's fingers. We only get the middle part of a few lines of text but what we see says, "The 12 year old boy was devoured whole," "was shot by rangers before the croc's power" and "stomach acids had time to fully digest." Again, this is not at all what I was expecting. At least this trailer is surprising me. Vartan is going on a boat cruise. This can't be good, can it? But he is on a tour with a pretty tour guide (Radha Mitchell), who assures everyone on the tour boat that, while the saltwater crocodiles are extremely dangerous, they're safe in the boat, because they won't attack anything bigger than themselves. But then, the crocs do attack. The people go crazy. They scream and freak out, understandably. They're on dry land now, but it's a tidal river, so apparently the tide will rise and cover the land mass they're on. An obvious solution would be to get to actual shore, but I'm sure there is some perfectly logical reason they can't, such as: the crocodile ate their boat. At any rate, there's lots of scary action in the dark and the trailer even shows one guy being swallowed alive -- and pretty much whole -- by a croc who is about five times as big as him. It's from the director of Wolf Creek, if that means anything to you. I mostly just want to know what effects were used to create the crocs, because they terrify me.
