man and what a scam this turn out to be . not because it wasn not any good ( a i wasn not really expect anything from it ) but because i be mislead by the dvd sleeve which ignorantly parade it star a be stuart whitman and stella stevens and tony bill . sure enough and their name do not appear in the film open credit and much less themselves in the rest of it . a it turn out and the only movie which connect those three actor together be the equally obscure la vegas lady ( 1975 ) but what that one have to do with the crater lake monster be anybody guess even so and since i pay $ 1 . 50 for it rental and i be in a monster movie mood anyhow and i elect to watch the movie regardless and and yup and it stink . apart from the fact that it have a no name cast and an anonymous crew and an unmistakably amateurish air be visible from mile away and the most i could do with it be laugh at the jaw like pretension and and intentionally so and at the resistible antic of two moronic layabout cum boat owner who frequently squabble among themselves with the bemused local sheriff look on . the creature itself a plesiosaur i. e. half dinosaur or half fish be imperfectly realize ( naturally ) but and a have be the case with the giant claw ( 1957 ) which i have also just see and this do not seem to bother the film maker none a they flaunt it as much a they can and especially during the movie second half .
