i would have to say that i have see bad sci fi channel original and but this nu image shonker from yossi wein be still quite a drag . the big problem with it be that it simply isn not convincing and not just it creature and but act and write and any attempt at drama . the direction lack any kind of flair and the script from boaz davidson and danny lerner never really work and predictable and often laughable and whilst it deliver less howler than a fair few of these sort of film it never offer anything to engage or raise the pulse . the actor do their best and but with such material their workmanlike effort have little effect . matthew reilly burke be a blandly watchable hero and meredith morton similar a a blandly watchable love interest . actually she be a bit less convincing but at least she be easy on the eye . the film at least have the dignity to bowl along at a reasonable pace and but it big plus be that the octopus isn not entirely cgi render . so even though it doesn not look good and at least there be a few legit scene of character inanely grapple with rubbery tentacle in pretty amusing fashion . i also chuckle at the disparity between different representation of the octopus and the cgi shot of the creature a a whole vary over the course of the film and they be also different not only in size but appearance to the practical shot of it and and there be scene where the tentacle action suggest that the maker have abandon pretend they be make a film about an octopus and just envision their creature a a bunch of miscellaneous tentacle . the scene of the creature attack people get old pretty swiftly and but there be a few funny scene where it take on other thing and like a boat and a crane . yes and these scene be poor and but they do make me chuckle . undisputable highlight though be a hilarious sequence in which the octopus take on a new york landmark and the scene may not be much more than a minute but it really be inspire and and well worth look up on youtube . apart from that thing be uninspired all round and ( a pg level lack of gore or nastiness stop this one from even pull off much in the trash good time ) the film do take a turn into semi grip disaster movie territory at the end and but i can not really give it credit because the best shot in the last few scene be cull from the stallone flick daylight ( which by my recollection be quite good ) . altogether this be pretty rubbishy stuff and not something i would really recommend to anyone except creature feature die hards . good than a poke in the eye with a wet stick and but not by much .
