3.0 out of 5 stars EH......., July 2, 2009

By	C. Hall "Lost in a Lost World" (Here,There and Everywhere) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

TO BE HONEST, I BOUGHT THIS MOVIE FOR ONE OF THE LAMEST AND YET MOST OVERUSED REASONS....BECAUSE THE COVER WAS A COOL VISUAL COMBINATION OF JAWS AND PIRANHA THAT CRIED OUT....BUY ME!
ALAS, AS THE SAYING GOES, WE MUST NEVER JUDGE A BOOK (DVD) BY IT'S COVER BECAUSE ALTHOUGH THIS IS A COMPETENT FILM, THAT IS UNFORTUNATELY IT'S HIGHLIGHT. ALTHOUGH IT TRIES TO BE SCARY AND ONE SCENE WHERE SOMEONE'S HEAD IS BITTEN OFF IS REALLY COOL, THIS MOVIE DOESN'T EVER TRANSCEND THE CLICHES NOR IT'S MEDIOCRITY AND THUS ULTIMATELY IN MY VIEW THIS FILM IS FUN BUT FORGETTABLE.

5.0 out of 5 stars A LOT better than most SyFy /Sci Fi Movies, August 10, 2009

By	new yorker "drealyea" (NYC) - See all my reviews

Arguably the best in the Maneater Series (Maneater Series Collection - Vol. 1 (Blood Monkey, Maneater, In the Spider's Web),Maneater Series Collection Vol. 2: Croc;Eye of the Beast;Grizzly Rage etc.) as well.

In the days before Sci Fi started to mass produce/ buy any and all bad CGI creature of the week movies, this script could have been a contender. I was reminded of the original Tremors while watching it.

It's A welcome throwback to the B-movies of the fifties. A creature concept as close to something new as the genre allows. Budget awareness seems to have prevailed, the monster is given chameleon like abilities, sometimes its "invisible", but when it is visible it's detail is above par. The Sea Beast actually sees more screen time than The Relic (The Relic/Pet Semetary 2 )and that was made for theatrical release.

If your a fan of the genre this one is highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the better B-movies I've seen., July 25, 2009

By	superego (IL, USA) - See all my reviews

The five-star rating is for straight-to-your-video-store movies only and doesn't include the big budgets films.
Other reviewers have gone over the plot with a fine-toothed comb, so I won't spent the time telling you what you no-doubt have already read. I'll just say that as far as these types of movies go, this is one of the best. The people who made this movie actually cared about it and did their best with the limited budget they had.
The story is nothing special but neither is it as silly as most. There are a few scenes that were lifted almost whole from more famous movies (Jaws, Predator, Gremlins...)and instantly stand out, but probably not in the way the film makers had hoped. Also, I thought the ending was a little weak and contrived, but, again, not terrible for a movie of this type.
The acting for the most part is decent. One of the main characters has a little trouble expressing his dismay at finding a friend torn to pieces(maybe they should have given the poor guy a couple of more takes), but he is pretty much solid the rest of the movie. The girl who plays his daughter on the other hand is the worst of the bunch. However, every time she delivered a bit of stiff dialogue she seemed to follow it up with some vicious act against the creatures attacking her and her boyfriend (as if she were mad at herself for being such a bad actress). It made her character fun to watch compared to the way most women in these movies are potrayed.
The special effects were the best part for me. While certainly not as good as the big boys, you can tell alot of time and money was put into creating the creatures. They have a lot of detail, a unique design, and are matted fairly well against the actual footage, enough anyway so that it doesn't instantly take you out of the movie.
All-in-all, the movie was fun to watch and worth the ten bucks I paid for it at the store. If your thinking of renting it, I would say it is worth your time. If your looking to add a new monster movie to your collection, this is a good one to get. Although, with any movie like this, I personally like to buy it used most of the time.
