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

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-

Bad acting, Crappy CGI, Predictable plot... All combined to into one awesome movie.So you get some hilarious looking frog, lizard, fish, invisible thing that comes out of the sea to some small harbor town and kills people by paralyzing them with spit then eating them so one guy sees it and nobody believes him. Then after so one runs into the town diner and describes exactly what the other guy did. So all the men pull the shotguns, hunting rifles, one guy had a sniper I think out of no where like they had an ammo locker in there pockets the ride out and all get owned... Need I say more watch it and laugh your head off.

Worthless plot, lame acting, by-the-numbers flick. Nonetheless, I rather enjoyed it.This highly predictable movie adds nothing to a world of monster movies. If you're looking for a masterful piece with an inventive story and relatable characters, go somewhere else. However, if you want to be mindlessly entertained and simply enjoy watching CGI monsters tear things up, check out this title.The beast itself is very well done. Seeing it in action, you would never guess this is just another low-budget made-for-scifi channel movie. When the beast is on-screen, the movie really shines; and fortunately it has a decent amount of screen time, since things are extraordinarily lame when the beast isn't around.Also, trying to avoid any spoilers, I'll just say I was pleasantly surprised with the ending as far as the characters were concerned. Horror movies are all to often predictable in this respect, and it seems the most annoying characters wind up alive.Finally, the girl is relatively attractive to look at, which helps any movie's cause, and turned out to be capable of some unexpected ass-kickery.Overall, a very fun movie to watch. Unless you're a snotty film critic who thinks you're gifted with some kind of social superiority, I'd recommend it.
