Yet another movie where women can't die because?

The only female who dies is the slut. I don't think she was a slut, but the writers wanted me to think that so I could stomach her getting killed by a cartoon iguana.

Even Chloe's friend and POINTLESS TINA survive. Meanwhile the director makes a pretty good point to brutally kill the entire male cast except the main boy and father. That may seem reasonable but consider that 8/10 men died and 1/10 women died in this movie. There's a serious problem if they think the audience can't handle any non-evil or non-slutty women to be eaten. Problem with the audience or writers?

I'm aware there's a "final girl" formula in horror. But since when has this expanded into the monster movie culture where no women who possess any bit of likability or decency can be shown to die? Yet, likable and even main male characters are allowed to die without mercy? We have likable secondary male characters dying left and right in these movies when "woman #3 on the bus" can't die because she looks like a nice lady. We need to have a male character with a name to sacrifice himself for her! Or is it because the crocodile is male and therefore can't hit a woman?

Please note that I'm really only referring to newer monster movies in the past 10 years especially cheap ones like Lake Placid 3, 4 and those of similar plots but titles escape me. Ones you see frequently on the SyFy channel. Yes, I've seen Deep Blue Sea and Evil Dead the only 2 movies in history to go against the formula. One is a cult phenomenon (which was remade with the final girl formula horrifically) and the other puts any SyFy movie to shame.

Listen, if you're going to make a crappy TV movie, why not do something different? I'm not saying kill all the women but just stop following formulas. I think the slut and the cheating boyfriend should have been the only survivors. How twisted that would be and people would remember this movie! Make them lovable villains. But no, they decide to make Lake Placid 4 the 21,305th predictable monster movie. Way to go, nobody really cares. Die hard monster movie fans like me are having a hard time watching the latest garbage. It does not take a big budget to do something different.
