The White Alligator (1988) Movie Review

At the edge of a lake a woman unexpectedly gives birth to a white alligator that bequeaths a red jewel. The woman then pops out the gator’s “twin,” a human child. Unfortunately the woman is promptly killed by a couple of scumbags. Her boyfriend takes them on but dies in the attempt, and the scumbags make off with the jewel. As for the white alligator, it contains several tiny but powerful people living inside it, including a supernaturally endowed queen who wants revenge on the assholes who killed the gator’s parents. Cut to a few years later: the surviving child grows into a young boy who can telepathically communicate with alligators. There’s also a woman who controls gators with a garage opener-like remote control, and who frequently chats with the alligator queen (who can appear and disappear at will). Another young woman falls under the spell of the gator queen, who turns her into a spasmodic Linda Blair wannabe. But this isn’t enough for the queen, who still longs to take on the scumbags from the opening scenes. This she does, together with a couple unexpected allies: the ghost of her murdered father and a fighting tree!
