“The Flood” is a 2023
“The Flood” is a 2023 horror thriller directed by Brandon Slagle. The film’s plot centers on a group of in-transit prisoners and their guards who become trapped in a Louisiana jail during a massive hurricane. As the facility floods, they face a new threat: a horde of giant, hungry alligators unleashed by the rising waters.
The cast includes Nicky Whelan as the sheriff overseeing the prisoners, Casper Van Dien as a mysterious inmate central to a breakout plot, and Louis Mandylor in a supporting role. Despite the film’s promising premise, it has received mixed reviews. Critics have noted that while the actors deliver commendable performances, the film suffers from subpar CGI effects and a lack of engaging storytelling. The alligators, in particular, have been described as unconvincing due to poor visual effects, diminishing the intended horror impact.
Overall, “The Flood” attempts to blend elements of disaster and creature-feature genres but falls short in execution, leading to a less thrilling experience than anticipated.
