kraken represent tentacle of the deep be set in a stretch of ocean call the desolation passage where marine archaeologist nicole ( victoria pratt ) and her crew be search for a couple of legendary greek artifact and a ceremonial trojan war mask and a hugely valuable opal . unfortunately nicole and her crew be hamper by a few unforeseen problem and first off be maxwell odemus ( jack scalia ) the son of a greek mafia gangster who want the two relic return to greece by any mean necessary and there also the small fact that a gigantic squid be guard the precious bounty and basically kill anyone who go near it . can nicole beat the odds and find the treasure and become famous or will she and her crew end up a squid food . direct by tibor takacs this be yet another by the number nu image produce creature feature the like of which i be sick of . the script by sean keller and brian d. young have all the usual clichés and plot device these creature feature do and there the beautiful female scientist and a rugged male hero type and there the disposable character who be include for no other reason other than to be kill and of course there the assortment of bad guy who want something valuable that some mutate badly cgi animated creature of some sort be either guard or be just generally in the way of . there really isn not anything original and fresh or new about kraken represent tentacle of the deep at all and quite frankly it a bit of a chore to sit through and there be already load of these bad killer creature feature type film out there and this doesn not do the sub genre reputation any favour . i sit there think i would already this dozen of time before and i be right and scientist look for something and get attack by monster and hero kill monster and save girl at the end and that all there be too it . the character be bland and forgettable a be the dialogue and the giant squid isn not in it nearly enough and doesn not do anything particularly special when it do make an appearance . it all very predictable and isn not even unintentionally funny and if you really like these creature feature and someone out there have to or they wouldn not keep make them and then you will probably enjoy kraken represent tentacle of the deep to some extent but for those of u who be really bore of this type of film i urge you to steer well clear of it . director takacs be once a decent genre filmmaker with title like the gate ( 1987 ) and i and madman ( 1989 ) but he seem to have go down the creature feature route with dreck like this and rat ( 2003 ) and mansquito ( 2005 ) and ice spider ( 2007 ) and his late epic megasnake ( 2007 ) . this make for tv film be quite well make and the giant squid cgi computer effect aren not as bad a i have expect although that not to say they be good . the version i saw be title deadly water which be what it be shoot under and apparently the sci fi channel website hold a competition for fan to come up with a good title and i guess kraken represent tentacle of the deep won which i suppose be why the word kraken be never use in the film itself . forget about any gore and there a severed leg and some blood and a cool decapitation by fish line but nothing else that graphic or worth mentioning . i be also sorry to inform you that there be no nudity at all . the supposed budget of about $ 2 and 100 and 000 doesn not sound too bad actually so it a surprise that overall the film be rather flat and bland and forgettable . the act isn not great from nobody worth mentioning . kraken represent tentacle of the deep be another creature feature that be virtually indistinguishable from any other and catch it on the sci fi channel for sure but do not go waste your money on it .
