* SpiritualAntithesis: To ''Film/Piranha3D'', another Creator/AlexandreAja horror film about killer aquatic animals. Whereas that film was PlayedForLaughs with tons of BlackComedy and BloodyHilarious gore, this is a straightforward horror movie that treats its predators as a serious threat.
** For similiar reasons of tone, it's also sometimes contrasted with ''Film/{{Sharknado}}''. The movie about a tornado full of sharks is silly and campy, while the movie about a hurricane full of alligators is fairly straight-faced and serious.
* SpiritualSuccessor: The film plays like a spiritual sequel of sorts to ''Film/TheShallows'', though with gators instead of sharks. Both films have an extremely similar feel.
