Trivia:
This movie was filmed partly on the island of St. Lucia in the Caribbean. Unfortunately, the directors didn't pay enough attention to some of the local speaking "extras" who, in the scene with the young boy in the town of Soufriere, one of the locals curses a certain part of his mother’s reproductive anatomy in the local Creole dialect - Patois. Oops!!!

I watched this movie on Sci-Fi and it lasted 3 hours (including commercials), which means they had to pad at least an hour of fodder into this run-of-the-mill monster flick. The suspense wasn't there - it certainly can't be compared to 'Jaws.' The creature wasn't particularly scary - think a walking 'Jaws' shark. The film was riddled with cliches - the disbelieving townsfolk, the belligerent military, etc. The film's only salvation is the fine lead actors, especially a pre-'Sex and the City' Kim Cattrall. But it is all they can do to not let the film drag them down with it. 2/10.
