What happens

Crocodile is a 2000 direct-to-video horror film directed by Tobe Hooper. The film involves a group of college students on a houseboat for spring break who stumble across a nest of eggs, and unknowingly enrage a large female Nile crocodile that stalks and kills them one by one. It was followed by Crocodile 2: Death Swamp, a film with no relation to the plot of the original beyond featuring the same individual giant crocodile and its sole offspring. The film is an international co-production between the United States and Mexico. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
