iMDB Trivia
- This movie was inspired by a true alligator event from Hurricane Florence.
- The two leads, Kaya Scodelario (Hayley) and Barry Pepper (Dave), also starred together in Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (2015) and Maze Runner: The Death Cure (2018).
- The burglars who rob the gas station are named Marv, Stan and Lee, which is a nod to Marvel creator Stan Lee. Coincidentally, Sam Raimi, who produced this film, directed three Spider-Man films.When Haley’s father tells her to swim to the boat, he tells her that she can “Swim faster” than the many Alligators in the water nearby. However this would be highly unlikely as the average adult Alligator swims at speeds up to 20 mph, While 23 time Olympic Gold Medalist Michael Phelps topped out at about 6 mph.
- When Haley and her father are outside after escaping the crawl space, Haley’s hair isn’t blown by the wind – even though it’s a category 5 hurricane that is almost toppling tree
- Right after the last shot of the movie, as the credits begin, Bill Haley’s “See You Later Alligator” plays – a wacky, upbeat 1950s rock song that is wildly out of place with the tone of the film.
