Let me get this clear. I am a great lover of syfy trash films and random creature features but this movie is god awful.The movie repeats itself every 10 mins. Again and again and again and again and again and againnnnnnnnnnn......Give this a miss there is better stuff out there!Ice Sharks for example feels so deep compared to this.

This film has everything. Bad lines, bad acting, great music, good cheesy CGI, lots of humor, funny characters, and lots of skin. Quite memorable. I love watching this movie over and over again. Preferably with good friends after a few drinks. We laugh and laugh. What a B movie masterpiece. Camp doesn't get much better than this. Every scene is gold. From Roger Corman, a veteran director of sci-fi cheese since 1954. He's at his best here. Its really so bad its good. Lots of great irony and humor. Oh, and the lines! "Damn you Sharktopus!" "I think you're a money grubbing Neanderthal, and the word on you is, you like cheap women and cheaper booze!" Too many other great campy lines to mention. We were howling. And satire. CNE? Must be Cable News Entertainment. Really nails cable news. I love this movie for the fun of it.

Some of the other reviews are saying this was 'MEANT to be bad' as though this is some kind of NEW genre of movie making.Listen, it's NOT. All this is is VERY, VERY bad, period. It was not made to be campy or a B-Movie or anything else. It was made to try to make a quick buck. Eric Roberts, the only notable name in the film, pumps out LOADS of films. Look up how many films he's made in the past and how many are current;y in production. This guy is super busy making bad films. Here is an excerpt from an interview about the movie with Eric Roberts. The interviewer asked him where this movie would 'sit' on his resume: Eric Roberts: Well I have to be honest with you this project doesn't really fit in my resume. This budget was done for fun. And this project isn't in my resume any more than going to the gym does. Everybody knows they go to the gym, everybody knows I mean I made this movie.But you know, I don't brag about it. If it comes up, I don't pretend it didn't happen because I made the movie because I wanted to, because you don't work for Roger Corman for money, he doesn't pay people.So all sarcasm aside if you bring it up I'm going to talk about, and if you don't I'm not going to bring it up. That is where it fits in my resume.

A brilliantly ridiculous b-movie style sci-fi which had my son and I almost in tears we laughed so much. Everything is so wonderfully unbelievable that there is no way you can take this as a serious horror, so just sit back and enjoy it for the masterpiece of ham horror I think it is. Eric Roberts (Will Butler in TV series Less than Perfect)shows what a truly underrated actor he is, playing the "it's-behind-you" script absolutely straight, without a hint of "I'm too good for this film". I can truly say this is without doubt the best worst film I've seen for a very long time. I'm sure it will become a cult-classic. BUT (now this is very important, so pay attention) make sure you watch it with company who will be able appreciate it for what it is, because anyone trying to watch it as a serious (horror/sci-fi) film will be disappointed and will most likely ruin your evening with silly comments about credibility - just point out that the film's title is a bit of a give-away at how credible the film is.
