Stupid with a capital S.
imdb14 January 2008
The first half of this movie is bearable. Although, some inconsistent things happen like people walking around, terror in their eyes, too afraid to look backwards, while nobody at that point has a clue about the existence of the creature. Once they learn about its existence, it turns out that each an every character has an IQ of around 20. If you really, REALLY want to be killed, then you might do what these people do, provided you are lobotomized first.

And if that stupidity (and believe me, it is NOT fun to watch-- it is the only reason that I think this movie is not watchable and deserves the 4 out of 10 that I give it-- it's pure, 100% annoyance that ruins all fun completely) isn't enough; there are other large inconsistencies that are simply impossible, but that apparently the director wants us to take for granted. This eel can bite a man in half in one scene of the movie, and it comes through the waste-pipe of a shower-bath in the next. In one scene it lifts up grown men, throwing them in trees-- and the eel is described to be pure muscle by this professor dude-- while in the end our hero wrestles with the creature, in the water no less(!), and keeps it under control with his bare arms. Yeah right. What an insult. Pure waste of time.

Laughable B-Movie with a Stupid Screenplay Full of Holes
claudio_carvalho16 June 2012
Two prisoners escape through the swamp land in Everglades and the search party is attacked by a giant mutant eel and is considered missing.

The Animal Control agent Delmar Coates (Doug Swander) is searching a missing dog with his ex-wife Sheriff Ruth Gainey-Coates (Kathleen LaGue) and he discovers the remains of the animal. Meanwhile members of a canoe club organize an expedition through the swamp.

When Sheriff Ruth organizes a manhunt to capture the criminals, Delmar informs that his former friend, Dr. Soren Abramson (Simon Page), who is chasing the eel with a group of college students, is the responsible for mutant species. Sheriff Ruth organizes two teams to hunt the prisoners and the eel.

"Razortooth" is a laughable B-movie, with a stupid screenplay full of holes. For example, a team of skilled police officers vanishes in the swamp and a group of rednecks are responsible for the search party. The experienced Delmar Coates hunts a dangerous mutant eel with a group of amateurs equipped with one crossbow to kill the giant creature. But the best is Delmar Coates wrestling with the agile and strong creature in the lake. My vote is four.

Title (Brazil): "A Face do Predador" ("The Face of the Predator")

Razortooth: More nope with a side order of nah
Platypuschow15 August 2018
Razortooth is one of those cgi packed creature features you'll frequently see on the Scyfy channel, and as expected is pretty damn dire.

It tells the story of a genetically altered giant eel that has broken loose of it's confines and is on a killing spree in deep south america.

Its victims including boy scouts, rednecks, escaped convicts and more rednecks. As you'd imagine the cgi is pretty poor and the creators crammed every concievable cliche into the movie.

It comes down to the local animal control guy and his ex wife sherriff to save the day and did I mention it's pretty damn dire?

Hollywood star Josh Gad can be seen here, younger, wider and looking very out of place considering how far he has come since 2007.

If you like the Scyfy creature feature tosh then this may well be for you.

The Good:

Neat looking beastie

The Bad:

Stock audio

Usual cliches

Ending was dumb

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

If Josh Gad wants to Tipp-Ex this off his resume I'd happily turn a blind eye

People who prefer animals than people are ironically my kind of people

I'd genuinely like to know why every movie of this ilk has no consistency in regards to the creatures size

If Dustin Diamond and Justin Timberlake had a baby you'd have that convict

Gave it a one
JoeB13115 June 2009
Because it's pretty clear that Skiffy Channel employees are here trying to raise it's profile by writing smarmy reviews.

This movie has the same plot as nearly every other Skiffy Channel movie. (This was on the Skiffy Channel, right?) A mutated/alien/strange creature rendered by basement-nerd CGI gets loose in a rural community, starts picking off the locals one by one.

Somewhere, I hear Skiffy channel execs having a staff meeting. "Okay, we've done snakes to death. People are bored with snakes. What else do we got?"

"How about giant eels, sir?"

"Aren't those just like snakes?"

"Uh, no, they're fish."

"Well, don't they only live in the water?"

"We'll say they can go on dry land, too. Then have them pick off a collection of bad southern stereotypes, since it's the last accepted bigotry in America."

Bottom line, for all you aspiring writers. An interesting monster might be the hook, but you have to care about the characters. We get a lot of characters, nearly all of whom become eel chow, and you don't feel a bit of empathy for any of them.

Avoid this movie. I wish I had... watching bad movies so you don't have to.

A B Movie
SlasherCon17 June 2011
Warning: Spoilers
It's a giant altered eel killing people. If you got some friends or want to have a laugh, it's an okay movie. The eel itself and it's special effects are alright, but people in this movie are too stupid to seem real. Hardly anyone even tried to shoot the eel. One guy just keeps running with his mug with has some drink in it.(Guess it tastes good enough to die for) Some characters such as two convicts at the start of the movie play a role in the story, but the convicts themselves do nothing, but get eaten.After The scientist who created the giant eel tells them how to kill it, they do just what he says. Guess what? It doesn't work. After they try that, the main character starts to wrestle with it. Yes, a man wrestles a giant eel that eats people and we are told it has enhanced muscle from the alteration. It's okay if you watch it with low expectations.

Ahhhh...
tmccull528 April 2013
Warning: Spoilers
... the old fifteen foot amphibious, carnivorous tree eel ploy.

If you're looking for "serious" horror, look elsewhere. This is not a film to be taken very seriously; it is not the next "The Exorcist", or anything remotely close to movies of that caliber. It seemed to me that the film makers knew that, already had it in mind when they made the movie. It's campy... not necessarily good campy, but again, it seemed like the cast and crew were looking to make a film that might entertain and amuse you for a few hours. I'm not saying that they succeeded, but I think that they knew that this film wasn't going to be up for any Oscars.

If you're absolutely bored out of your mind, and are desperate to watch pretty much any horror flick, you might find something in this film worthwhile. I reiterate, "might".

Don't Waste Your Time!
JZemanek965 August 2011
Warning: Spoilers
**********************SOME SPOILERS MAY BE SEEN************************* Just another stupid, unrealistic Sci-Fi. Seriously, this movie was so unbelievably stupid, predictable, and ameteur that it isn't funny. First and foremost, there was absolutely no character development on any one except the main character (which, of course, happen's in every movie), making it so every single person who died you didn't even care about. Second, the acting and effects were utterly lazy and mediocre that I couldn't wait for the movie to just be done with! The entire movie (without exaggeration) is just characters getting either bitten in half or ripped apart. There is absolutely nothing unique because it is just the same plot of every other Sci-Fi with a different animal and setting. It didn't have on bit of humor whatsoever! It's Lake Placid 3 all over again; and if you've seen it, you know how horrible that was! There is literally nothing exciting that will come out of this movie, so please, just don't waste your time. I'm pretty sure any other movie would be a better pick than this movie.

Got to be THE worst film I have ever seen
phantasmda22 February 2010
Warning: Spoilers
The good? It ends...Eventually

The bad? Whoah!Where do I start?

The acting: pre school play standard

The script: I am only amazed that a script this bad managed to find funding.

The dialogue: Is as bad as it gets, this tries to be intelligent and fails miserably, there's the usual cliché characters, some really bad and I mean BAD attempts at comic relief, I only got to the end because my TV remote is broken and I couldn't be arsed to get up and change the channel.

The effects: WOW! Is it really possible, in this day and age, to have special effects THIS bad? The eel looked awful, it didn't even look like it was on screen half of the time. The main creature changed size several times to suit what was happening. I mean, in one scene, the creature is so huge it can bite someone clean in half and swallow them whole. In the next scene, it is small enough for the main (cough cough) hero to wrestle it in a pond.

The music: Think Jaws played by a 3 year old.

The direction: Was there any?

Avoid this like the plague, it's 90 minutes of your life you'll really want back.

the bb guns are the best
geddyneilalex2811 September 2010
My family and I love bad horror films. We watch them every Saturday night. Tonight, we watched this "movie." Normally you can at least count on pretty girls in these flicks, but not here. Every woman in this movie is god awful ugly. The acting is terrible, the plot dumb, but the absolute best part is that every gun shown in the film is a bb or pellet gun. I thought I was going to die laughing when I first realized this and it made every scene with a gun just that much funnier. I often wonder if the people in these films know that they are making crap. I just can't imagine anybody gets excited about adding Razortooth to their resume. This movie pushed even our love of bad movies to the limit. It may just be one of the worst movies ever made.

Worst movie i have ever seen
Vargis-Khan5 January 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Man i cant believe that i actually fell for the ratings this movie and wasted 90 minutes of my life watching it.This is a 3rd grade low budget movie with bad acting, bad effects and absolutely no story line.It looked like as if some college punks picked up a handy cam and a plastic Eel and made a home video. To start with, acting was disgusting.Even a kid would laugh looking at that Eel.There was no story, just a crazy plastic Eel with a "i will kill everyone" kinda attitude.Absolutely no camera work.This kinda movies at least have some topless hot babes running around so that someone would at least wanna watch the babes if not the eel but this movie had nothing. My suggestion, don't fall for these ratings here.I'm sure that the people who made this movie or acted in it are the ones who rated it so highly.This is what you know it is, a 3rd grade low budget movie that you wouldn't even wanna watch for free.

Incredible
We all agree on feeling as if our brains had been dipped in acid, sliced into little pieces and deep-fried. As if my soul had been raped by a thousand drunk chihuahuas. But mostly I'm speechless. This is the worst thing I have ever seen. It's hard to believe that someone could put so little effort into every aspect of his art. The most soulless and empty thing you could possibly imagine. The average Katy Perry song is ten times as clever and as believable. This film makes me want to rip off an actor's leg, urinate on it and feed it to his grandma. People in directing schools should be forced to watch it. The few that wouldn't die instantly would rise to be legends. This film is like watching a Sarah Palin speech while sober.

An All-It-Can-Chomp Chowhound of a Monster
zardoz-133 January 2010
Warning: Spoilers
They say a shred of truth can make a lie believable. Scenarists Matt Holly and Jack Monroe embrace that concept with a vengeance in their comic creature feature "Razortooth" about a gigantic eel that has a ravenous appetite for humans. First time director Patricia Harrington takes a tip from "Deep Rising" director Stephen Sommers and emphasizes humor over horror in this predictable but entertaining 92-minute straight-to-video epic about a genetic mutation of an eel created by a mad scientist. Basically, the critter is a huge, 12-foot eel with a mouth bristling with spiked teeth and it can gobble a man like a snack. Forgot about "Anaconda." This baby could take that snake out in no time. Holly and Monroe appropriated their idea from an amphibious Asian eel that can live on land and water. The eel creature itself is the handiwork of "Babylon 5" special effects creator Jeff Farley and Farley does not make it look as sinister as he could have, but then "Razortooth" is not a scary chiller like "Primevil." You will lose count of the number of good, bad, and innocent folks that this monster gorges itself on, but the blood and gore on display here is enough for this adventure to qualify for an R-rating. The only thing missing is nudity and lots of profanity. Unlikely hero Delmar Coates (Doug Swander of "October Sky") is a happy-go-luck animal control specialist, and he is abetted in his efforts by a shapely county sheriff, Ruth Gainey Coates (Kathleen LaGue of "House of the Dead 2"), who wears the strangest looking outfit for a lawman that you have ever seen. Delmar and Ruth got divorced because they could not find enough time together for sex in their marriage, but now she cannot get enough of him. The culprit is Dr. Soren Abramson (Simon Page), who is trying to destroy his evil creation, but he has no clue about how large his reptile has grown when he sets out to kill it with a cyanide dart in a crossbow. Our wily monster doesn't discriminate when it comes to feeding. It will chow down on good-looking women bathing in a shower, obese rednecks relieving themselves in an outhouse, lawmen, escaped convicts, and it can strike from anywhere at any time. Literally, you never know when to expect this creature. Although it lacks legs, the eponymous reptile has an Achilles heel, namely, when Dr. Abramson created it, he made sure that it could not eat anything that contains sugar, so technically the critter is a Type 2 diabetic. Unfortunately, our heroes do not have nearly enough sugar on hand to kill it so they resort to the next best thing in the creature-feature book, they have to blow it up with hand grenades. Before they do destroy this fiend, it goes on quite a rampage. What "Razortooth" lacks in credibility, it more than makes up with its high body count and its goofy appearance. If you cannot stand the sight of blood and gore, then "Razortooth" will not whet your appetite. The ending, of course, sets up an inevitable sequel.

Hammy but Lots of Fun!
MandatoryChaos3 August 2007
Warning: Spoilers
Fun movie. Fans of ANACONDA and LAKE PLACID will get a kick out of it. Has its tongue firmly planted in cheek. Kathleen LaGue may go places... she's rather swell here. She plays a small town sheriff who discovers a giant creature - eel like thing - is lurking in the nearby waters. With the help of a buddy, they track it down - but not before a few people get razortoothed - and well, you can guess the rest. Yes, its very predictable, and yes the special effects look a little low budget, but considering this is probably made for the DVD market, it's very worthwhile. I'd be pleased if I'd rented it. Make it a double bill and rent out ANACONDA at the same time.

Mere Words Cannot Convey the Awfulness
henri sauvage11 September 2010
But I'll try, anyway, to save the unsuspecting from wasting 90 minutes of their life on this fetid tripe.

So what makes this different from any other of the last few years' crop of straight-to-DVD Creature Features?

Is it the moronic dialog and crappy CGI? The trite stereotypes played by no-name "actors" incapable of evoking love or hate -- much less even a flicker of interest? The clichés running out its metaphorical ears and comedy as flat as month-old roadkill? ("Hey, look at the really fat, gross redneck get pulled down through his own outhouse!") The farting dog? The towering hackery?

I don't know. I don't want to know. I only want this sf sub-genre to finally die a well-deserved and long-overdue death.

It doesn't matter that once in a blue moon you get something like "Deep Rising", with real wit and style to match its copious gore; it just encourages the clowns who create this cinematic sludge to squeeze out more of their "entertainment product".

A pretty bad SOV monster movie
MonsterVision994 November 2017
I wanted to watch "Razorteeth" by the Polonia brothers, since I watched "Bigfoot vs Zombies" earlier and decided to watch another one of their movies, I couldn't find it online but I found this similar film (both in concept and in name) and it looked interesting so I decided to see it. "Razortooth" its not very good at all.

By SOV monster movie standards its about as average as you could get in the genre, a giant monster its on the loose and kills people, that's about it, I wasn't expecting anything more. It has a few decent kills and the effects are terrible yet somewhat enjoyable for the kind of movie it is. I was actually kinda of surprised at the amount of gore and deaths in the movie, these movies are often disappointing in that aspect but "Razortooth" delivers the goods.

It tries to be comedic but falls flat (again, same thing happens in a lot of these movies), the characters are a bit likable, the editing its awful, its terribly written and directed but it could have been worse.

Shows what you can do with a budget
bemaniac5 January 2008
I thoroughly enjoyed Razortooth, The characters were genuine if a little stereotypical at times and although the computer generated monster looks out of place like in the TV sequel lake placid 2 this is by far a better film than that poor effort. The killings are very humorous and this has smatterings of blood all the way to keep the gorehunters happy. I expected an unwatchable C-movie and ended up glued to the screen til the end sometimes laughing sometimes just having great entertainment. This has all the signs of a cult classic if more people would just see it! Worth buying over many inferior B-movie horror films.

Surprisingly decent little creature feature about a killer diabetic Eel.
poolandrews8 April 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Razortooth is set somewhere in Florida where local animal control official Delmar Coates (Doug Swander) & his ex wife & local Sheriff Ruth Gainey (Kathleen LaGue) start to get strange reports of disappearing animals. Then the horribly mutilated dead bodies of the townsfolk start turning up, the Sheriff thinks it's down to two escaped convicts Eddie (Max Rishoj) & Sal (Josuha Rubin) while Delmar has his suspicions about ex ETF scientist Dr. Soren Abramson (Simon Page) & his genetic experiments. It turns out that Abramson created a huge Eel in the laboratory which escaped into the swamp & is pretty much eating anything & anyone it comes across, as the population of the town starts to rapidly decrease it's up to Delmar & Ruth to kill the Eel...

Directed by Patricia Harrington this pretty standard by-the-numbers 'Creature Feature' seems to universally disliked but I have to say that I rather enjoyed it for what it was, sure there are goings to be any number of people on the IMDb who will state as fact Razortooth is the 'worst film eva' but then just about every film on here (horror in particular) has at least one 'worst film eva' type comment or thread on it's message board. First of all I will say that Razortooth is no masterpiece, far from it in fact but I did actually quite like it. The script by Matt Holly who played Mark & Jack Monroe who played the fat Deputy is your standard 'Creature Feature' scenario, some sort of animal is either genetically enhanced, strengthened or altered to an extent where it wants to kill & eat anyone it meets. People making these 'Creature Features' are probably running out of creatures to use, we have had everything from Ant's to Snakehead fish to Spiders to Scorpions to Bats to Crocodiles to Alligators to Mosquito's to Komodo lizards to Shark's to all sorts of Snakes large & small & even a woolly Mammoth. In the case of Razortooth it the turn of the Eel, I am not sure the filmmakers went for anatomical accuracy as it doesn't really look like any Eel I have ever seen but at least it's big, it's fast, it's got plenty of large teeth & it likes to eat people & quite frankly that's more than good enough for me. For anyone who has seen a 'Creature Feature' before Razortooth is very predictable & clichéd but I actually didn't mid it that much since it moves along at a good pace, it never bored me, there are loads of Eel attacks & death scenes that kept me entertained & while the character's were a little faceless & forgettable I didn't find anyone annoying & most of them behaved in a reasonably believable way. Look what it boils down to is that Razortooth is a above average 'Creature Feature' that I thought was miles better than just about any of those horrible Sci-Fi channel originals, having said all that it is only just an opinion & I am sure there will be many out there who won't be as charitable to Razortooth as I am. Ultimately you pay your money you take your chances.

Director Harrington does a fine job here, the production values are better than I expected & the film actually looks pretty good. She gets right into the action & lets us see the Eel straight away so there's no long uneventful drawn out build up which I liked. Now lets talk special effects. I am sure many out there will say that the effects are terrible, well I think they are a mixed bag to be honest. Some are fairly impressive like the scene of the Eel chasing the Deputy & that guy through the woods & it biting him in half while the effect of it sliding down the drain after eating the woman in the shower is truly dire. I would say half of the effects are pretty good while the other half are pretty poor. The Eel itself looks good & fairly vicious. There's some blood & gore, a few people are bitten in half & there's quite a lot of blood splatter. There's an obvious nod towards low budget filmmaker Roger Corman since the town's diner is called Kormann's.

According to the IMDb Razortooth had a budget of about $3,000,000 which seems like a lot of money, personally I think the IMDb got that wrong. Although set in the swamps of Florida it was apparently shot in Los Angeles. The acting isn't great but I have seen worse, it's just about bearable.

Razortooth was a pleasant surprise to me, I liked it. I must admit I have seen loads of those awful Sci-Fi channel & Nu-Image produced 'Creature Features' & am pretty tired & fed up with the genre but I genuinely did like Razortooth, it ain't no masterpiece but it did entertain me & these days that's really all you can hope for.

Friggin Schweet!!
immcgillicuddy15 March 2008
I LOVED this title. I thought the campy nature was so much fun! Come on people, the idea you are trying to hold a movie like this to some kind of "creature" reality is kinda sad. Have fun with it! I thought it was hilarious! The bad guy was especially funny. I was hoping he was gonna say..."You just don't lead em as much!!" On another note, I liked the ending. I did not see that coming and the final romantic scene made me laugh out loud. When's the last time that happened? Certainly not during "Semi-Pro" or "Balls of Fury". I also liked the way the monsters looked and the idea way they took their pray. I can't wait for the next one, I hope they make a sequel!

The touching story of an angry eel
patrick-green9 June 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Razortooth. Another cable movie you'll see late at night, it belongs to that particular kind of species which is only released in video, a video you'll quickly glimpse in the store's bargain bin and then forget for a while before stumbling upon it one night while changing channels.

The film also neatly fits into the set character lists one usually finds in such movies: the stupid, horny teenagers (with one "smart girl" in the lot), a scientist who messed with Mother Nature...yeah, nothing new. The monster is not new either and looks like someone decided to recycle the Anaconda franchise by adding eels to the mix (Eels, eels, anyone know that song?). While this may sound terrible, the film is deliciously funny.

The eel looks permanently annoyed about something. It growls, hisses and roars and chases its prey over land, through trees, water and even bathrooms with what can only be a strong, homicidal hatred for mankind. The thing even stops while chasing its victims and does an odd hissing and shaking of head movement where it looks spectacularly angry (note to self: when a giant eel is angry, you're in for something bad). The fishy beast also appears to be a very flexible animal: it can bite a man in half, but can also attack through tiny pipes. This goes to show the animal is serious business and is not to be trifled with.

Yes. Giant eels are serious business.

The characters are all very boring at the beginning. You have to wait for the parts where everyone gets together to chase the angry eel for the real mayhem to start. Why? This is why.

You have a bunch of angry American gun nuts, one of whom is overweight, has long white hair and an MP5 (ownership of such a gun probably violates several different gun laws). Another notable gun nut is looking for his son and is an ass. No worries though, he is an epic ass, and goes through the film swearing, insulting and manhandling traumatised kids and shooting at things. These gun nuts trudge around the streams and forests looking for the eel and all get massacred save for Angry Father who gets shot with a cyanide dart by Queer Scientist. The aforementioned students are also incredibly inept, with two of the students being fat (guess who natural selection chose for the eel's next dinner!). The scientist is a strange, wimpy fellow who tries to pull off the "tough scientist" role and only succeeds in looking a bit queer. He dies a hilarious, and unconvincing death.

There are also some children who go missing. You shouldn't care about them since they don't get saved. In fact, practically nobody survives the hunt for the eel, which turns out to be insanely hard to kill.

All in all, we can say the true hero of this movie was the eel. This movie is about the eel's quest for revenge upon the human species and how the noble (and insanely angry) beast is vanquished by man's cruelty.

Rest in peace, Angry Eel, you shall never be forgotten.

Old Fashioned B-movie
cylmart2 October 2009
I didn't expect much when I rented Razortooth, but it is surprisingly good. There is nothing new here, but it stands up to most of the horror and monster movies I see (which is just about everything).

It has an old fashioned feel that is kind of appealing. I have gotten sick of torture porn lately. At first I (like all teens I guess), was interested in seeing the boundaries pushed by movies like SAW and HOSTEL. But it has gotten so so old. I am just not interested in seeing how many new ways a girl (or a guy) can be raped, tortured, and murdered. For me, it is not entertainment.

Razortooth, though obviously low budget, actually has a plot, and characters, some good effect, some great laughs, and a good (funny) ending. It is like a GOOD SyFy movie. I liked that cast, but did not recognize any of them.

One thing I did not like at all is the lead guy playing the harmonica all the time.

Overall: better than most.

Flawed cheesy creature feature
kannibalcorpsegrinder11 December 2014
After a rash of disappearances, a wildlife expert and the local sheriff team up with a group of residents to combat the gigantic, mutated eel running loose through the local swamplands before it eats the whole town.

This turned out to be quite the flawed if still slightly enjoyable creature feature. There's some rather enjoyable moments here, most of which comes from the fact that the creature is clearly out and rampaging around quite early so there's plenty of action scenes within this. From the opening attack on the search party in the swamps to the brief attack scenes around town as it attacks the locals to the rather cheesy finale where it seemingly keeps coming back despite several attempts to fully contain and kill it while the creature is chasing after them for even more action-packed sequences, so this one dos manage to contain some rather impressive and fun moments that allow for a pretty enjoyable pace here as these are spread liberally enough throughout the film to avoid any kind of prolonged boredom. Along with plenty of action is plenty of exciting kills here which are based on the creature's rather fun tactic of simply going for the kill every time out so it's ravenous behavior makes for a rather gory and blood-soaked time with plenty of limbs being gnawed off, bodies ripped apart, bites and much more here which make for a really good time. These are enough to hold it aloft over it's few minor flaws, most notably the utterly ridiculous and abysmal CGI rampant throughout here. Not only is this patently unimpressive and obvious in it's fake-ness, the fact that it also manages to employ other big giveaways to it's source is found throughout here including the creature randomly appearing out of nowhere simply because the attack calls for it, changing size and dimensions frequently and barely interacting with the outside world around it so there's never any doubt this pixelated, cheesy-looking beast is anything but realistic. Likewise, the other big flaw here is the obvious use of character-padding to max out a storyline that really shouldn't yield a movie this long so there's a lot of excess story lines drummed up simply to provide more characters for it to kill off which really shouldn't be so as they simply scream out in their attempt to pad out the running time. These are somewhat detrimental to this but not enough to really lower it.

Gory with monster eel
seckinlergafri22 July 2017
Terror hybrid eel, terrorizing a lake and killing many people two sherrifs who know it rushed to collect people to kill meat-eating giant eels ... Razortooth (2007) is a horror film from the United States originally released via DVD. The film was directed by Patricia Harrington. This movie is quite horror, character of a silly character, the hole of the story where it is, a simple CGI. But it's all covered with the sadistic scene of the eel monsters that prey on humans, quite gore and disgusting, do not bring children to watch this movie.
