Barracuda (1978) I bought this movie because I really thought it would be terrible. I imagined something like "Spawn of the Slithis", or "Nazi Surfers Must Die", but this movie turns into a fun one after all. In the beginning, the plot is very silly - barracudas eat people. Amazing. The filming is under water, with the barracudas waving their tails while eating the limbs of people is laughable. But... in the middle of the movie the barracudas disappear, and the story, although still with poor acting, gets interesting. In fact, X-Files is very close to this in subject. And the end is a lot better than one you could expect from a movie called "Barracuda".

"Island Fury" Please Don't Eat the Babies (1983) Hank Worden, Mose in "The Searchers", winds down a great career with this student film mish-mash of a movie. Yachters use Worden's small island pier/store to stock up on supplies. The island is off limits and there is a curfew for the paying customers. Yachters are supposed to drop a few bucks and push off. Any one breaking the rules discovers Worden has a family inland that bears more than a passing resemblance to the Texas Chainsaw Clan. Which would have been fine. The film gets even more inept trying to inject a monster menace. Aquatic cockroach things that Worden's family has a weird empathy with. This is a particularly inept and difficult film to watch.

Ok here is how it goes this double feature was a double boredom. It seemed to drag on and on and on. You get my meaning There was no action and if there was I missed it and Island fury should have been Island boredom. Most of the time you are confused between the flashbacks which I am still not sure why they were in there and what is going on in the present My advice run the other way before you waste your money.
