Cat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains some spoilers for this film!

Synopsis: The city of Chicago is terrorized by a giant-sized, hungry alligator.

Purr Blur: In one scene a hunter named Brock (Henry Silva) stalks the alligator in an alley. Brock is startled by a sudden noise and turns, as does the guy following him, only to see an orange tabby cat jumping down from a garbage can.

Final Mewsings: If you’re startled by a cat, you’d better not hunt giant alligators.
