Plot: silly low budget rip-off of "Jaws." A ridiculous monster is chased around by sexy people in bathing suits. This is one of those a "bad" movies that is fun to watch, especially if you see the MST3K version with jokes added by Mike and the Bots. Beautifully shot in color on location in Florida with a cast of physically attractive Europeans pretending they are Americans. They can't quite pull it off but they wear skimpy clothes so you don't care. The monster is supposed to be half shark and half octopus which makes no sense and must have been very hard for the special effects people to design, so they solved the problem by never showing you the entire monster, just little bits of it. As I noted, the cinematography is great and this film will make you want to spend your next vacation in a Florida beach town. Warning: wear lots of sunscreen. It is obvious in the film that many of the Europeans in the cast got badly sunburned.
