Review of Devil Fish

Devil Fish (1984)
5/10
Seriously, Not That Bad
30 December 2013
A marine biologist, a dolphin trainer, a research scientist, and a local sheriff try to hunt down a large sea monster, a shark/octopus hybrid, that is devouring swimmers and fishermen off a south Florida coast.

This film has an incredibly low rating, and the only explanation for that is because it has appeared on "Mystery Science Theater 3000". After a film is on there, it seems fans of the show come here and give the movies a 1, to ensure the film a place on the Bottom 100.

I love MST3K as much as anyone, but I do think this is a bad practice, often because the show is relying on inferior copies. While "Manos" is bad no matter how you look at it, the same might not be said for "Devil Fish". The star of the film has said that Lamberto Bava did a great job and the main problem was the budget. I have met Bava and seen much of of his work -- clearly, he was not the problem.
