Plot

A marine biologist, a dolphin trainer, a research scientist, and a local sheriff try to hunt down a large sea monster, a shark/octopus hybrid, that is devouring swimmers and fishermen off a south Florida coast.

Sinekatalog’s take

A schlocky Italian creature feature in which a sea monster, part shark and part something worse, terrorizes a Florida coast. The effects are laughably cheap and the characters are cardboard. Only recommended as a bad-movie night curiosity for monster-movie completists.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
