User Review - 8/10 by jake bNow this is everything you can ask for in a movie. A dude in an octobus costume. Pure awesome
User Review - 8/10 by Brian SIf you like films directed by Roger Corman, you're gonna love this one. Octaman is a Mexican radioactive mutant played by a guy in a rubber suit. When a group of scientist start collecting his offspring -- little rubber octopi with red-in-green cat eyes dragged through the grass on strings and otherwise incapable of movement -- Octaman starts attacking. But what he really wants is to kidnap a rather haggard-looking female Mexican scientist, because he needs a mate. So, where did the offspring come from? Maybe Octaman is really Octomom. That's only one question about this flick. Here are some others: 1. Why does it randomly change from day to night in Mexico? Apparently, there's a great deal of this going on down there. Day and night shift back and forth without warning in the middle of scenes. We must do something to stabilize the rotation of Mexico! 2. Couldn't they find an actual Mexican actor to play the part of Mexican guide Davido? Instead, they got some random hippie seems about as Mexican as Garrison Keillor. Listening to his accent change between a terrible Mexican and clearly American one is a wonderful thing, but his improvised whistling of The Mexican Hat Dance at strange times truly seals the deal. 3. If you stand in the middle of a 15'-wide circle of foot-high flames, do you really pass out due to lack of oxygen? Octamen do. 4. If you throw a net over something and don't tie down the net, should you really expect that the thing you've netted will be unable to move? Like any good scientific expedition, the one in Octaman raises more questions than it answers. That's good science for ya! And watch for the mismatched stock footage that changes a Mexican lakefront into a Florida bayou, a little creek into whitewater rapids, and the bottom of a lake into a wondrously colorful coral reef! Octaman is awful film-making at its finest. Somewhat reminiscent of Roger Corman's "Creature from the Haunted Sea," but with dialogue that could have been penned by Ed Wood (e.g., "It's amazing what the human body can do in the face of survival!"), this classic dreck-flick is sure to please the most discriminating connoisseur of bottom-of-the-barrel 1970's sci-fi creature features. Viva la rubber octopus-man!
User Review - 6/10 by Allan COne of those man in a rubber monster suit films where a research team studying alarmingly high levels of atomic radiation in water in Latin American has some dangerous encounters with a mutated octopus that can walk and live outside of water. For the talk about these waters being important to a poor local fishing village, you never do see a trace of any fishing going on. Could be why the village is so poor.
User Review - 6/10 by Lanky Man POctaman is ridiculous but mildly entertaining.
User Review - 6/10 by Morgan WOCTAMAN [1971]: Within the vast realm of cinema only one type of film encompasses every genre & subgenre all with one common trait. The size of a films fan base is what makes a cult film a cult film. And under the wide umbrella of the Cult label there are an incredible range of films varying from films entrenched in the artistic heights of cinema and all the way down to the bottom of the barrel and even under said barrel. What I'm trying to say is this no matter how bad a film can be manufactured regardless a cult fan base would slowly form around said film. One bad obscure cult gem is the 1971 low budget Monster, Horror, schlock fest of OCTAMAN. Lacking in any real vibe of a decent horror film, like many hilariously dated B to Z-grade Monster films from the 1930's to mid 1980's, OCTAMAN comes across as a good old creaky, camp classic. For me this is the trash that makes me love cult category all the more (alongside the fine works of art that also inhabit said category). Now on a personal note it was several years ago that I came into the knowledge that this film even existed after first encountered a clip of the film in the 1990 film GREMLINS 2 THE NEW BATCH. It wasn't until on one ill fated YouTube search for bad monster films (in the hope this film would come up) that I made the costly& embarrassing mistake for believing that the infamous 1966 "MANOS" THE HANDS OF FATE that came up in the search was the one in the same film. It wasn't until I had been hypnotised by said films ungodly terribleness that I realised that I wasn't watching the film that I had hoped for. After viewing "MANOS" in its entirety and becoming obsessed with other films of that calibre, I forgot about trying to track down OCTAMAN. After an IMDB search into this film a while back it has taken two years to get around to viewing this Early 1970's monster film. Now just recently I've finally seen the film I wanted to view the most, the unbelievable OCTAMAN. THE PLOT: According to the opening stock narrator the setting for this film takes place in a Latin American fishing community (which despite what is said is NEVER seen in the entire film). More accurately the films B-Grade events unfold in some remote vegetated area, where a group of stock Marine scientist looking into nuclear radiation in the waterways, discovers a mutant Rubber octopus (living in fresh water). The lead scientists leave the site to go back to their institute to gain more funding (sadly not for this films limited budget) the expeditions funding is cut. So the logical thing to do is seek funding from a former wealthy Sideshow man in the meanwhile the remaining members at the site are attacked by the title monster. In one brown & silver Motor home (RV for North American readers) the new funder & the scientist return to the site where the carnage is found. Of course the Octaman reappears and starts to attack the group. However the lumpy rubber suit falls for the lead female in this film, in the good old B Grade Monster movie cliché. Which can only mean one thing, destroy the Octaman or try to capture it & study it! OVERALL THOUGHTS: As you can well imagine this film is just a big pile of campy psychotronic nonsense. For me this film easily falls under the So-Bad-It's- So-Good label of bad filmmaking. Personally on the shear sake of enjoyment I regard this film in the same breath as ROBOT MONSTER [1953], PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE [1959], EEGAH [1962], & TROLL 2 [1990] for the camp value alone. As I pointed out earlier in this review, OCTAMAN is a tried and true generic B Grade Monster film. So generic one scene was even shot in a hollowed B-Grade Site, Bronson Canyon/ Bronson Caves located in Griffith Park L.A, California (which oddly enough in addition to this film is where parts of pre mention ROBOT MONSTER & EEGAH were shot as well). For me this film is a text book example of low- Budget filmmaking; combined with odd stock footage (including footage of a cheetah for some reason at one point), a decent score, shot in a rural desert and vegetated area, Weak direction and cinematography, alright acting, and the piece de resistance the monster costume. God how I love that goofy rubber suit, I know it was supposed to look scary but hell I keep on chuckling when it appeared on camera. Compared with this monster, Henry the Octopus in THE WIGGLES looks scarier than Octaman. Considering that one young Rick Baker made his first SFX splash in this film is highly shocking. That's right the same Special Effects Guru of the EPIC transformation sequence in AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON [1981] made his debut with this film. However Rick would end up doing the SFX for other notorious ,schlocky 1970's monster films like THE THING WITH TWO HEADS ['72], THE TRACK OF THE MOON BEAST ['76] & THE INCREDIBLE MELTING MAN ['77] before his future glory. Sadly as it turns out that OCTAMAN had its own tragedy from what I have read about the film, Actress Pier Angeli died of a drug overdose in the wake of this films completion, tragically just like John "Torgo" Reynolds from "MANOS". However this film has gone down as a cult classic for it being an amazing bad film, even the rubber tentacles of OCTAMAN have waved on T.V cameos within films like FRIGHT NIGHT [1985] & as I have mention GERMLINS 2 used footage of this film as bad movie fodder. To sum up, this is one of the best bad movies one can hope to encounter on their cinematic voyage into the realm of cult cinema. And you know what I love this film for its weirdness and stupidity, hard to believe that the screenwriter of THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON [1954], Harry Essex both wrote & directed this stinker. Let's just face it; they don't make 'em like this anymore. 60%
User Review - 4/10 by Jesse RI hear this is Octo-Mom's favorite movie :) This movie is silly more then anything.
User Review - 2/10 by Michael TAnother man-running-around-in-a-rubber-monster-suit flick. Angeli committed suicide after making this one.
User Review - 2/10 by Sean BThis is a b-movie with a capital B, but i found myself able to watch it. I thought this movie was different in that the monster got a heck of a lot of screen time, and was even shown right away, as the title and opening credits appeared on the screen. While the rubber suit complete with flopping tentacles, looked as ridiculous as a monster in a Godzilla movie, i liked the costume design and thought it looked pretty monstrous in a b-movie sort of way. It reminded me of a comic book story titled "A Monster Among Us" that i fondly remember from my childhood during the 1970's. I think it would have been more effective if the monster had been shown at night with limited exposure on camera. If that was done, the movie might have "grabbed" me a little more. Still, it made me "stick" around 'till the end, so i guess it didn't totally "suck" (puns intended :o).
User Review - 2/10 by Shawn Rthis is the movie that other movies make fun of.. remember "Elvira Mistress Of The Dark".. yup she shows this as well as attack of the killer tomatoes and remember "gremlins 2" yup they shpw a clip of this .. oh and remember "Fright NIght" yes Peter vincent shows this . octaman is a bad movies "bad movie" if that makes sense
