Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
demented_one It is what it is, I call them 10/90 movies because they have a nucleus of about ten percent American actors and the rest are Canadians - they need to stop shooting in British Columbia it keeps reinforcing what the Canadian accent is all 'aboot' This was a b movie, and while it was watchable, it was not very good. More gore than the opening scene in saving private ryan, but none of the acting that goes with it. People horribly killed and while they have an odd extra puking, the heroes forge ahead intrepidly.if you can't find anything else better, it is worth a watch
GL84 After returning from a fishing trip, a fisherman finds the series of strange deaths plaguing the community is brought about by their bringing back a ravenous prehistoric sea creature and must find a way of stopping the deadly creature.On the whole this wasn't all that bad of a creature feature. Among the better elements here is the rather enjoyable action which is pretty frequent in here which has plenty to like about it in here. The first attack on the couple leads into the frantic chase in the forest which features the impressive gun-fighting along the way, a series of fine attacks on the group partying on the island leading along some great stalking through the jungles and a great marina confrontation with the creature that makes for a really great series of encounters that makes this one quite enjoyable having some great parts in here. These set the stage for the film's two biggest action scenes throughout here in the militia attack out in the woods where the creature's survival instincts are put to great use stalking around the forest leading to some great attacks, the action comes off rather nicely of the group firing off at the creature while giving this one some solid gore as well, and makes the finale even better by comparison with the creature's attack on their cabin which feature some impressive defense tactics against the creatures, a lot of action trying to hold them off and segues right into the fun times in the ship at the end which is such a good time all throughout here. Along with the spectacular blood and gore here, the film's other positive is the creature itself as there's far more than expected here in their behavior and tactics that makes them far more formidable than expected throughout here, all of which help this one against the few flaws here. The biggest issue to overcome here is the completely unknown creatures here, for as much good as it does in their behavior and attack tactics it loses in terms of their biology and history, and there's not even an official species name given to them which leaves them altogether quite problematic. The other big problem here is the lame CGI present which makes for a rather obvious time here whether being utilized for the creatures or the rather lame insert shots here that tend to stick out quite obviously. There's very little times where it all looks quite cheesy and fake here, which does lower this one. Along with a few lame kills early on, these are the film's flaws.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Language.
Wuchak Believe it or not, "Sea Beast" originally appeared as "Troglodyte" on Syfy in 2008. It goes without saying that it was a good call to change the name seeing as how there are no troglodytes in sight.As the cover of the DVD would suggest, "Sea Beast" is another take on the well-worn "Jaws" theme. This one takes place in the Vancouver, BC, area (big surprise). The creature has the ability to appear nigh invisible and render its prey immobile. This may sound cartoonish, but the way it's explained by the requisite scientist makes it semi-believable.Other than "Jaws," the plot borrows from other creature flicks like "Predator," "Gremlins" and "Godzilla ('98)." It's reminiscent of the latter film in that there's a mommy monster and a bunch of little tykes, just as ferocious.What makes "Sea Beast" work is that the material is taken seriously and it has a quality cast, not to mention solid locations. The cast is highlighted by a strong male protagonist, Corin Nemec as Will Mckenna, Will's ditzy daughter, Carla, who can be ultra-violent when necessary (Miriam McDonald) and Will's female sidekick scientist, Arden (Camille Sullivan). Miriam possesses such a cuteness she's somehow just enjoyable to look at. Also, the creature effects (CGI) are well done. Not to mention it's very gory, if you're into that.There's not much else to say. If you like well-done creatures-on-the-loose TV flicks, "Sea Beast" provides well enough to satisfy. It's far from great but it delivers just enough to grant it a marginal thumbs up.GRADE: B-
Woodyanders A gaggle of lethal and mysterious predatory sea beasts from the darkest depths of the ocean floor come onto dry land to attack and feast on the residents of a previously sleepy bay village community. Director Paul Ziller, who also co-wrote the derivative, but engrossing script with Neil Elman, relates the entertaining story at a snappy pace, takes time to develop the plausible working class characters, generates a good deal of tension, and delivers a generous amount of surprisingly graphic gore (one woman gets her head bitten off and the creatures leave behind the torn up bodies of their victims). The solid low-key acting by the capable cast keeps the movie buzzing: Corin Nemec makes for a credible rugged blue collar hero as struggling fisherman Will McKenna, the cute Miriam MacDonald contributes a winningly feisty portrayal as Will's spunky daughter Carly, Daniel Wister registers nicely as likable hunk Danny, and Camille Sullivan does well as earnest and helpful marine biologist Arden, plus there are sturdy turns from Gwynyth Walsh as concerned harbor master Barbara, Brent Strait as grizzled old drunk Ben, Gary Hudson as the amiable Sheriff Jay McKenna, Brandon Jay McLaren as the easygoing Drew, and Roman Podhora as obnoxious antagonistic jerk Roy. The CGI effects are okay and the monsters look pretty cool. The sharp cinematography by Mahlon Todd Williams boasts plenty of gnarly creature POV shots. Chuck Cirino's energetic ominous score does the spirited shuddery trick. A really fun little flick.
