An interesting dive into the comedy creature feature genre. Mating Season is a movie that effortlessly mutates into something like "The fly " meets "Airplane " . I really enjoyed it , possibly more so as the movie went on. Apparently even lower budget B movies can deliver hilariously driven character roles, subtle plot twists and turns that ultimately deliver a wonderful feeling of satisfaction for the viewer. It's a courageous little gem that even in its unashamedly cheesy moments wins the audience over without offering any apologies. Well worth watching for those of us who still enjoy a good old , Creature romping stomping comedy that we all willingly buy into. Bravo for this comedic breath of fresh air !!

I first learn about this film by an add that came up on Facebook. I learned that it was going to be showing at a small theater near me called the Enzian Theater. I went to see another movie there before the Crocodylus showing and saw nothing promoting the film until I was walking out of the theater and saw a card the director had left on the exit table which lucky for me had his number on it. I called and expressed my enthusiasm for wanting to see the film and he told me where to get my ticket. I was so blown away by the production of the film and story! I think that this film will have a definite cult following! I appreciated how awesome Stanley was and was not disappointed after seeing the film!!! I can't wait to buy my own copy when it is distributed!!
Perfect balance of dark and humor!

This tale was lots of fun. Ha! The cast clearly likes working together and their compatibility makes for a fun story with lots of subtle and not so subtle puns and clever improv. You have the quirky mad scientist, the redeemable private detective, the determined heroine with excellent taste in intimate apparel. Add a terrific soundtrack and creative costume designer and you have the makings of a highly enjoyable movie adventure. Appreciated the lack of emphasis on bad language or gratuitous violence. Watch it with a glass of fresh never-from-concentrate 100% Florida orange juice. We anxiously await the sequel!!
Best Comedy Horror You Haven't Seen

I love this film - I love it so much, that I wrote it. Then I loved that script so much that I directed it too. Then I figured, why stop there? I should probably edit it while I'm at it. And then, well, now we have this movie.
Hi, Stanley Pomianowski, writer/director/editor here writing the first review.
So, is this film any good?
No.
It's freaking great.
It's got killer cats, auto insurance phone calls, people losing limbs, kissing, and a pirate. It also features some rocking performances. You better learn how to properly pronounce "Fusca" because lead actor, Chuck Fusca, kills with his comedic timing playing Harry Bates. Rachel Comeau (hard to sight-read last names are a requirement to be in one of my films apparently) will seduce you as Allie Glades, the damsel in distress. Andy Gion (pronounced "G"+ on; see what I'm saying about these names) plays a tough guy, police chief to perfection (He's actually very sweet in real life). Jim Serrano delights the audience and steals every scene he's in as the dedicated and oddly-hungry scientist Dr. Cash Williams.
The rest of the supporting cast is loaded with talent too! We've got Johnny Alonso, Dana Anderwald, Sheryll Carbonell, and up and comers like Ana Gorayeb, Carson Holley, and more!
Did we talk about the soundtrack yet? Anthony Espina wrote the perfectly off kilter soundtrack that made everything work so much better.
I had a lot of fun making this film and I'm very proud of everyone that helped us make the film what it is. I hope you enjoyed it too!

My wife and I attended a sneak peek of Crocodylus: Mating Season on a whim here in Florida. Expectations were low; that this will be a normal low-budget flick. I was surprised! Surprised to be entertained with crisp humor, quality acting, and a likable story that I couldn't help but connect with. And it wasn't just me. The packed theatre laughed and cheered right along with me. This has to be one of the best "lower-budget" movies I've ever seen. And the cat. Sorry human actors, but the cat was my favorite character. In the end, the director, actors and crew delivered. I am not even a fan of this genre but am looking forward to the next installment in the series.
