Tentacles

(1977)

Oh my God (who is me)! Usually I have a good laugh with the whole "giant rubber monster" movies, but this one was atrocious! Uggh! This is a disappointment, even by my standards... As you may have guessed, it's about some giant Octopus raising hell on the beach go-ers, water skiers, and chicks in bikinis... It all starts as some woman lounging by the ocean turns her back for 2 seconds, and her baby disappears, and it's stroller is floating in the water. In the very next scene, some peg legged dude is snatched (huh huh, "snatch") off his fishing boat. The bodies, as well as others, begin to pop up in the water, stripped to the bone and marrowless. An oceanographer is brought in to investigate, and it's discovered that in each occurrence of attack there were radio waves nearby. It turns out that high pitched waves from the Trojan Company are fucking up the ocean life. I never realized that condom manufacturing required radio waves! In the end, it comes down to natural selection, as the heroes use killer whales to do their dirty work for them, setting them against the puss in a fight to the death... la-di-freakin-dah... I could've watched PBS and been spared all the plot garbage! On the only plus side to this waste of time and money, there was a really fat guy who i thought deserved to be eaten. Why? Because NO ONE that fat should be allowed to wear shorts that small... now excuse me while I vomit on this thing!

Sequels: Nope
