It was shortly after the theatrical release of Cocaine Bear that The Asylum teased they were working on a “mockbuster” titled Attack of the Meth Gator, which has now been shortened to simply Meth Gator. It’s finished, it’s coming soon, and the trailer has been unleashed today.
Meth Gator will release in a small handful of theaters as well as Digital on August 2.
Watch the retro grindhouse-style trailer for Meth Gator below.
The film will be playing in the following theaters:
- Laemmle Glendale – Glendale, CA
- Hickory Ridge Cinemas – Brunswick, OH
- Trylon Cinema – Minneapolis, MN
- Film Noir Cinema – Brooklyn, NY
- Aurora Cineplex – Roswell, GA
In the creature feature, “Police warn residents to refrain from flushing methamphetamine down the toilet to prevent “meth-gators.” In Sweet Water Point, Florida, they didn’t listen.”
Patrick Labyorteaux, Robbie Rist, LaRonn Marzett and Vanessa Tamayo star in the film. Christopher Ray directed Meth Gator, which was written by Joe Roche & Lauren Pritchard.
The Asylum is the company behind horror movies including Snakes on a Train, 2-Headed Shark Attack, Atlantic Rim, Sharknado, and Aquarium of the Dead, and they’ve become known for capitalizing on Hollywood success stories with their own low-budget knockoffs.
