Cast

Plot

All hell breaks loose in Florida when an alligator eats a lot of meth and starts killing everyone.

Production

In February 2023, the day of the release of Cocaine Bear, The Asylum announced the film on Twitter under the working title of Attack of the Meth Gator. The next day, in a Tweet by The Asylum featuring a video of cast members complaining about the fictional titular alligator, it was confirmed that filming had completed on February 25. At the 2023 San Diego Comic-Con, it was announced that the film had been renamed from Attack of the Meth Gator to simply Methgator.

Inspiration

Methgator is loosely inspired by reports from 2019 that a Tennessee police department publicly discouraged the flushing of methamphetamine down toilets due to the possibility that alligators could ingest the drug, creating hyper-aggressive "meth gators". At the time of the reports, Kent Vliet, an alligator biologist at the University of Florida, denied the existence of so-called meth gators, stating that it was a "ridiculous notion".

Release

Methgator was released on DVD by High Fliers Films on March 25, 2024.
