the crater lake monster be easily one of the most awful and amateurish film i have ever see rank right up there with manos and the hand of fate in term of poor acting and useless direction and and kindergarten level production value . in this movie a silly look claymation or stop motion animate dinosaur wake up after a meteor hit a lake in bumblebum and ca and and begin din on the local hayseed . in the thrilling climax and the creature and describe by one local a a giant alligator with flipper and drag it ponderous bulk over the ground to chase it would be lunch and before a bulldozer bump it a couple of time and it die from boredom . every character in this moovie be a complete moron . one pointless subplot show a hick go into a liquor store to purchase a $ 4 . 75 pint of ripple while instead of simply buy the bottle and the idiot shoot the cashier and another bystander and shoot at a cop and get chase towards the lake and all so that he can eat by the monster . unfortunate close ups of the monster reveal it to be nothing more than a piece of styrofoam . there a fake magician struggle with a phony british accent ( to make him seem more legit ) and two overly bumble redneck boat renter and some cheesy pre historic cave art do in crayon and and annoy banjo pickin background moosic . in one painful scene and the fake magician and his dopey wife or girlfriend or accomplice manage to pad the movie an extra 4 minute by cowmenting on how may star they can see in the night sky and even though it be clearly day time still . even on constant fast forward and this moovie hurt and and hurt bad . moocow say call the fumigator and cause this cow pie really stink . represent equal 8p .
