“The Flood” (*1/2 out of four) was a waterlogged horror thriller set during Louisiana in the midst of a brutal hurricane when a prison break happens and a ravenous group of alligators swim into the police station and the tough sheriff (Nicky Whelan) and a wrongly convicted murderer (Casper Van Dien) have to band together to stay alive. Lame attempt at mixing elements of the far-superior “Crawl” with the underrated “Hard Rain” (which was originally titled “The Flood”) winds up a wet waste of time. Superior CGI effects of the alligators are film’s only asset.
