Crocodile is a 2000 American direct-to-video horror film directed by Tobe Hooper. The film involves a group of college students on a houseboat for spring break who stumble across a nest of eggs, and unknowingly enrage a large female Nile crocodile that stalks and kills them one by one. It was followed by Crocodile 2: Death Swamp, a film with no relation to the plot of the original beyond featuring a giant crocodile.
Producer Frank DeMartini said that, with Crocodile, director Tobe Hooper was "trying to [...] recapture the fright of" The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.[2] Hooper agreed, saying, "It's the 25th anniversary of the first Chain Saw, and I really wanted to create an atmosphere that will wind you up like that";[3] although he also stated, "Stylistically, I'm going for an entirely different look from anything I've ever done, or anything you'd expect me to do."[3] Noting that the movie was his second about crocodiles, after Eaten Alive, he described Crocodile as a campfire film with a "mythological background. There's a legend connected with it. Every town in America seems to have some story of [a] lake or woods with a monster in it."[4] He compared the characters to those in Deliverance, as Crocodile also becomes about survival.

According to DeMartini, casting director Cathy Henderson-Martin auditioned two thousand people, narrowing the pool down to a few hundred who met with Hooper and DeMartini.[5]

The screenplay was written by Michael D. Weiss, Adam Gierasch, and Jace Anderson. Thomas Crow of Fangoria stated that Hooper had "tinkered with" the script.[4] Hooper said, "On paper, something may look good, but things change. Speaking in broad strokes, we've been reshaping some of the dialogue [to suit the actors]. The idea on the page will certainly get to the screen, but I'm aiming for spontaneity.
On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, Crocodile holds an approval rating of 25% based on 4 reviews.[9]

In a contemporary review, Joseph O'Brien of Rue Morgue wrote, "There are occasional flashes of Hooper's brand of weirdness", noting a scene where a crocodile hunter attacks the beast that killed his father. O'Brien added that the film was like an episode of "Dawson's Creek where most of the cast are munched by a big reptile; a not-unrewarding experience if viewed in this light. [...] Ultimately though, even the good bits are only good enough to make you wish you were watching Alligator or maybe even Lake Placid instead."[10] Will Wilson of Deep Red gave the movie one out of four, stating that "the degree to which Tobe Hooper continues to mar his early cinematic legacy is alarming. His once imposing filmic reputation suffers another deadly blow with this stuff, an as by-the-numbers film as one can get."[11][12] Wilson wrote that "arguing that Hooper has lost it is rather a redundant point. We all know he has. It is just how far he has plummeted that is shocking."[12]

Matthew Chernov of Variety would later place Crocodile eighth on a list of the top ten alligator films, noting it was not as strong as Eaten Alive, but had a "cheesy charm that's undeniable", and was better than the "SyFy Channel movies it occasionally resembles [...] Despite some dodgy CGI effects, Hooper's talent behind the camera shines through
