Yes it takes some things from Jaws but this movie kind of stands on its own. The idea of someone flushing a pet alligator down the toilet and having it grow huge in the sewer has been an urban legend for years, aped in everything from movies to cartoons. Alligator takes that simple premise and runs with it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c4bd5ae elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c4bd5ae\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-40f70df\" data-id=\"40f70df\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e9e58bf elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e9e58bf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rockvideorental.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/image_2023-10-05_111333765-qdf53dsnk06ys437ssgpxp8lv93qs6dbq655smghry.png\" title=\"image_2023-10-05_111333765\" alt=\"image_2023-10-05_111333765\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2185978\" data-id=\"2185978\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-73f485c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"73f485c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The gator itself looks great, and is pretty believable.
