Alligator

1074 Bank St, Ottawa, ON K1S 3X3, Canada

DESCRIPTION

It lives 50 feet beneath the city. It’s 36 feet long. It weighs 2,000 pounds…and it’s about to break out! A baby alligator is flushed down a toilet and survives by eating discarded lab rats that’ve been injected by experimental growth hormones. But, when the once-tiny family pet escapes the sewers and goes on a rampage in the city, it’s up to an easygoing detective and a herpetologist to stop the carnage. Written and directed by animal attack movie veterans John Sayles (Piranha, The Howling) and Lewis Teague (Cujo), and starring Robert Forster in one of his most memorable roles, Alligator is a sly thriller with a surprising amount of bite!

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!
