Yeah I know I only rated it 2 stars, but see it anyway. It must be viewed to be believed. This is plainly one of the dumbest movies ever made - the monster, a jellyfish-man, is as lame as they come (you can see the zipper), and it is filled with risible moments.
Be sure to see it with a group however, so you can all mock its many puerile bits. The unforgettable song, "The Jilla Jalla Jellyfish" is a show-stopper. And when I saw unforgettable, I mean it. The sucker is almost impossible to scrape off your brain cells. One of my friends tried to physically attack me when I teased him by playing the son. "I'll be hearing it in my head for the next week!" he raged.
The fact that a man-sized pitch black jellyfish-man can hide in a small swimming pool is a surefire crowd pleaser, as are the little cheerfully-colored plastic bags which "simulate" the big jellyfish attack on the hapless teens.
The final revelation of the jellyfish-man's identity will surprise not even the tiniest tot, though his suit looked so phony, it is a bit of a shock to learn that he's supposed to be a real honest-to-god monster, not just a guy dressed up as one in Scooby Doo fashion.
One of the worst movies ever made - you will goggle at the decisions the director chose to make. But you will also be entertained.
