The story is set in a fishing village where a local boat captain (Corin Nemic) has recently lost a crewman. It seems a sea monster has hitched a ride to shore on his boat and lots of townsfolk are being eaten (the creature and her children can walk on land and even climb trees!)
This movie is so typical of the Sci Fi channel movies...minimal dialogue, maximum carnage. The CGI isn't too awful, but the predictability of the script makes it tedious; any character who goes off alone is sure to be killed. Corin Nemic is the best thing about the movie, but he isn't on screen much. We see more of Miriam McDonald, who plays his daughter, and she's truly awful. Between her constant half-grin in the face of impending death and endlessly pushing her hair behind her ears, I half-expected her to say, "Like OMG! I'm like in a movie!"
The movie was shown on TV as, "Sea Beast," which is a better title than "Troglodyte," but not by much. Trite and silly.
