Superstition

About This Movie

So, about 'Superstition' from 1999 – it's this wild musical fantasy out of Mexico where the premise is just as bizarre as it sounds: crocodiles taking over the planet. The film has a quirky charm, with its pacing swinging between frenetic musical numbers and surreal moments that defy conventional storytelling. The practical effects are a mixed bag; sometimes they hit, other times, not so much, but that’s part of its offbeat allure. The performances feel genuine, like the cast is fully onboard with the madness, and it really creates a unique atmosphere. Overall, it’s distinctive in its chaotic approach, and you can't help but appreciate the sheer creativity behind it.

'Superstition' has had a curious history on home video, with limited releases making it somewhat scarce among collectors. There are a few DVD editions floating around, but original prints can be elusive. Interest tends to spike around discussions of obscure musicals and offbeat fantasies, so it’s definitely one of those niche gems that can be a talking point among fellow enthusiasts.
