Screaming, Scratching, Biting... And that's just THE GIRLS!

Nomination Year: 2023

SYNOPSIS: An environmental activist group "liberates" (steals) a whole bunch of snakes from a lab and releases them into the Everglades. They grow tremendously and start eating people, including the fiance of a dedicated female park ranger. Deranged with grief, the ranger injects a whole bunch of super-experimental growth steroids into a whole bunch of raw chickens and feeds them to the local alligators. What ensues is a CGI-fest of colossal CGI snakes vs. gargantuan CGI gators. In the end, and with many hijinks and hardships, our heroes lure all the monsters to a local quarry and blow them up. And pretty much everyone in the cast dies. The End.

Oblivious
Dumb as a Rock Deigo needs to get into the party, but R.J. has orders to keep him out, specifically. Nothing will get by this stalwart guardian that--ooo, rock!

Worst Special Effect
CGI Copter with CGI Ladder Rescues Debbie Gibson from CGI Gator CGI Copter with CGI+Green Screen Ladder Rescues Debbie Gibson from CGI Gator...and in addition to the green-screen backgrounds in the cockpit, we finish with an outside shot of a DIFFERENT copter.

"Alas, Poor Yorick"
Dynamite ex Mach--Oops, No, Alas, Poor Zeke You think the rednecks are gonna bite it with the dynamite bomb... But no, instead, a mega python gulps him down! Then, when it looks like ol' Zeke is going to get the same treatment--BOOOM! goes the dynamite! Zeke pauses to pour one out for his friend...and gets killed by the falling corpse of the snake.

Best One-Liner
The Eating of Their Hearts Is the Only Sound In what I'm sure is completely spontaneous dialogue, the cat-fighting Terry and Nikki (who've been thrown away from where the monsters are eating everyone), pause. Nikki: "I think we're alone now." Terry: "There doesn't seem to be anyone around." It's funny, see, because Tiffany...

"Whoops!"
Bouncing Jugs O'Hara is zooming around a corner, when the giant jugs of (get this) reptile pheremones fall out! It is painfully clear that the empty jugs that are bouncing around in the mid shots are not filled the same way as in the close-ups. It's also clear that those aren't the bouncing jugs the audience is focused on.

Acting Appropriately Stupid
Put Super-Steroids in the Chicken Manny just got done telling her that these steroids are weird and experimental, and here she goes, injecting chickens with them to feed to the gators to kill the snakes that killed her fiance. And the old lady (who DIDN'T swallow a fly) says: "That's a lot of dead chicken."	Sorry, this clip has not yet been made available!
