| User ReviewPrivate UTotally creepy and frankly horrific tale of felsh eating, tiny nasties in the ocean...totally hideous until you see the silly giant rubber monster at the end of the movie...still, brilliantly low budget and terrifying for most of the flick. Who needs 'Jaws"? |
| User ReviewTristan PBeautifully, perfectly cheesy B-movie that straddles the borderline between classic (ie: innocent) and modern (ie: sex and violence ridden exploitation) low budget horror. Universal second-string horror star Martin Kosleck is awesome as the evil scientist. The gore effects are quite cool, although the optical effects at the end aren't quite as effective. Still, this is required viewing for fans of low-budget horror. I fantasize about doing a remake with Bill Moseley and Bruce Campbell. |
| User ReviewJeannie BWow. This movie is so good for so many reasons!! Any film that scratches the acetate as a special effect gets an extra star! My dh and I were a little disappointed that the infamous "Nazi Experiment" flashback (that looked like it was filmed in NJ) wasn't in the film. It was one of the extras, though. |
| User ReviewDustin RI really like this movie. It felt like an old Star Trek episode to me. The premise was neat and the low budget-ness of the whole thing made for some really creative shots and effects. |
| User ReviewRoyal Bif you like clut films you have to see this one |
| User ReviewBrian Rone of the top corny old monster movies... |
| User ReviewMichael T"Gilligan's Island" with flesh-eating microbes; campy fun. |
| User ReviewTimothy SA wealthy, bitchy, drunkard of an actress and her assistant hire a plane to fly them to P-town. Flying in a storm, they crash on an isolated Cape Cod island en-route. They are soon discovered by a resident of the island, a German (though specifically, NOT a Nazi for once!) ocean biologist doing research there. The pilot quickly becomes suspicious of the scientist when a flesh-eating bacteria is discovered in the water around the island, but the biologist claims ignorance (despite several bones shown on shore shore of flesh). The next day a beatnik on a raft lands on the island. They all work together to escape. Pretty damn gory for the early 60s and funny at times. The night-time scenes were the brightest I ever seen used - they didnt even try any camera tricks to make it look like darktime! Deleted scenes show this was to originally include nudity and make the scientist into a Nazi. |
| User ReviewBrent PThis film was campy and funny, disregard the movie poster though, it's in black and white. The beatnik guy was probably my favourite part of the film. Overall it was a good watch for its comedic value but not on my top list. |
| User ReviewMarcus MClassic Terrible. And Classic Terrible Funny. |
