Australie. Le reporter cynique américain Pete McKell rejoint un groupe disparate de touristes pour une splendide croisière sur les eaux sauvages du Kadaku National Park. Mais à la suite d'un étrange accident, leur embarcation fait naufrage. Alors que le groupe attend en vain d'être secouru, un crocodile géant mangeur d'hommes apparaît à la surface de l'eau...

Next to 1999's Lake Placid, Rogue is the best representative in the crocodile horror genre, thanks to a well-made monster and a fairly sensible plot. Compared to other horror films, this one spares us the gratuitous sight of bloody chunks of half-eaten victims, and instead we are treated to shots of the beautiful (probably) Australian outdoors that looked like they belonged in a National Geographic documentary. The musical score was unusually sonorous and unmistakable, and setting much of the film on a completely cut-off island, and then in a den, was a really smart move. In short, an above-average piece in its genre that can really freak the viewer out at times.

How many good horror films with crocodiles do you remember? Myself, hardly any and just for that I must give this one an above average rating. Unlike McLean’s previous film, here we don’t have to wait one hour for the action to begin, the characters are likeable and even the crocodile looks quite good (under the circumstances). The best scene for me was the rope climbing, while the climax in the den wasn’t so great, but it was good enough. 75%

A likeable B-movie that, while it’s not aware of its own stupidity and takes itself too seriously, it offers some really good ideas and scenes that just won't make you want to sleep. Quite unnecessary in the end, but definitely the best slasher with animals in a long time.
