my criterion for a true bad movie be one that be either just plain boring or just plain stupid . highlander 2 be an example of the latter and while devil monster be a pretty good example of one that just bore . this cheapie be another movie that basically ten minute of story and fifty minute of travelogue . too much nature footage detract from the already scant story . the story that there be pretty much just a minor melodrama and probably more at home in a silent movie ( in which most of the principal actor would have also more at home ) . about the only really interesting bit be the fact that the hero doesn not get the girl at the end . most of what pass for special effect be just crudely do opticals and but they do not really detract from the film as much a one would think . i would love to see the sea fiend ( the movie from which this one be edit ) to see if what they take out made thing go any more interestingly .
