“It lives 50 feet beneath the city. It's 36 feet long. It weighs 2,000 pounds...And it's about to break out!”

The premise
A baby alligator is flushed down a toilet and survives by eating discarded lab animals that have been injected with growth hormones. The now gigantic animal escapes the city sewers and goes on a rampage, pursued by a cop and a big-game hunter.
Horror Vault's take
When a discarded pet alligator feasts on hormone-laced lab animals deep beneath the city, it grows to a terrifying, almost mythic size. A dogged detective and an eccentric big-game hunter must track the beast through sewers and streets before the body count climbs any higher. Equal parts creature-feature spectacle and sharp B-movie satire, this 1980 cult classic punches well above its budget.
