It's been a long time since I watched a thriller on the big screen. Due to the regulations of the domestic film system, it is not allowed to show super horror films, so this movie between thriller and horror is really exciting. As you can see from the title, this is related to crocodile and storm. Yes, crocodile refers to alligator and storm refers to hurricane in Florida. Let’s first learn about these two aspects from Baidu Encyclopedia. .

Alligators (Latin scientific name Osteolaemus tetraspisCope) belong to the alligator family of the order Crocodylus. Alligators are carnivorous animals that live in wide areas of water, such as lakes, swamps, and rivers. Its English name alligator is derived from Spanish el lagarto (meaning: lizard). This name was given by early Spanish explorers and settlers in Florida. There are two types of alligators, the American alligator (Mihe crocodile) and the Chinese alligator (Chinese crocodile). The appearance of the Chinese alligator is similar to that of the American alligator, but smaller than the American alligator. The body length is generally no more than 1.5 meters. The body is black with some dim yellow markings.

Hurricane (Pinyin: jù fēng, English: Hurricane), the Atlantic and East Pacific regions will be strong and deep (maximum wind speed of 32.7 m/s, wind force above 12) tropical cyclones called hurricanes, also refers to violent winds and any tropical Cyclone and any strong wind with wind force up to level 12. There is a wind eye at the center of a hurricane. The smaller the wind eye, the greater the destructive power. Its meaning is similar to that of a typhoon, except that the location is different.

Take the once-in-a-century Hurricane Michael in Florida in October last year. Heavy rains flooded many towns and roads; many coastal attractions in Florida were razed to the ground, and reconstruction work is expected to take one year. as long as. As the local communications were interrupted when the hurricane hit, search and rescue personnel had to conduct door-to-door searches of 25,000 houses and rescued 200 people "manually". The local communication network has not been restored for many days. There are still about 2,100 people in Florida lost or trapped, 18 people died, and power supply to more than 700,000 households was cut off. US media predicts that the disaster will cause several economic losses. Ten billion U.S. dollars.

The small town in the film also suffered such a disaster: the father was besieged by two alligators in the old villa and his right leg was severely injured. He has two daughters. The eldest daughter is married and married and has children; The daughter lives outside alone and is busy practicing swimming all day. Although she has won numerous awards since she was young, her dream champion is still short of breath. The older sister immediately contacted her younger sister, Hai Li, the heroine of the film, when she found out that her father had lost contact. She drove to the house immediately after learning that she couldn't contact her father. There was only sweetheart in the empty house.

Although Hailey and her divorced father are a bit separated, she has not seen each other for a long time, and such violent storms have made Hailey anxious. So when the patrol police persuaded her to evacuate, she still turned around with sweetheart and stubbornly, and drove to the old house where she had lived since she was sold for sale. In the basement, through the guidance of sweetheart, I found the injured father. When she witnessed two huge alligators sneaking in the direction of her and her father, she was shivering all over.

Father tightened the injured right leg with a belt, and led Haili to the pipe near the wall to settle down, because the environment here is favorable to them and can prevent the huge alligator from entering. Although Haili is a bold and optimistic girl, she was scared and hugged her father tightly at this moment, and saw her father comforting her patiently, and used the “king of the race, never quit” that she believed when she was a child bravely learning to swim. "Slogans to encourage her. The rain was getting longer, and the water level in the basement was about to cover her neck. Waiting here was like waiting for death. Her father asked her to swim to the top of the stairs to cover herself, knocking on the water pipe to make a clanging sound.

Because alligators are very sensitive to talking, walking, and knocking. Their hearing is very sensitive. As expected, their father was attacked again. During this period, two patrol members also came to rescue, unfortunately, they were killed by a crocodile. After Hailey got the gun and killed a crocodile heroically, she was bitten by another crocodile and rolled in the water. At this moment of life and death, she remembered how she practiced swimming when she was a child. Her father also put a lot of effort into her. In the end, a burning flare picked up by his life rescued her, and the alligator backed down.

She successfully came to the first floor and broke the floor and rescued her dying father. Although the alligators are ferocious and violent, killing innocent people indiscriminately, but with the tacit cooperation of the heroine and the injured father, they will never give up, although they are scarred, but the power of family affection can exceed imagination and make them dangerous, which proves love again. Can surpass everything.
