Virtually every character, including a renown scientist, refer to the monstrous squid as a giant squid, even after they confirm how big it probably is. But the size of the squid shown in the movie describes a colossal squid, significantly larger than what's called a giant squid. See more »Alternate Versions

I don't agree with the other review at all I though even though they did mess with the story from the book if you forget about the book and concentrate on the movie itself its a pretty good movie.Sure it wasn't done on a high budget but its not cheesy and all in all the special effects are good.I think if you liked Jaws or any of its sequels you'd like this movie I certainly do.I thought it was a really good movie and I think that the squids look really good.I liked the fact that they kept them to a huge size but a size of squid the could exist.Its makes it seemed scarier to me.If you like monster movies or action movies like peter benchley's the deep I definitely think this is a movie for you.
