After returning from a fishing trip, a fisherman finds the series of strange deaths plaguing the community is brought about by their bringing back a ravenous prehistoric sea creature and must find a way of stopping the deadly creature.
On the whole this wasn't all that bad of a creature feature. Among the better elements here is the rather enjoyable action which is pretty frequent in here which has plenty to like about it in here. The first attack on the couple leads into the frantic chase in the forest which features the impressive gun-fighting along the way, a series of fine attacks on the group partying on the island leading along some great stalking through the jungles and a great marina confrontation with the creature that makes for a really great series of encounters that makes this one quite enjoyable having some great parts in here. These set the stage for the film's two biggest action scenes throughout here in the militia attack out in the woods where the creature's survival instincts are put to great use stalking around the forest leading to some great attacks, the action comes off rather nicely of the group firing off at the creature while giving this one some solid gore as well, and makes the finale even better by comparison with the creature's attack on their cabin which feature some impressive defense tactics against the creatures, a lot of action trying to hold them off and segues right into the fun times in the ship at the end which is such a good time all throughout here. Along with the spectacular blood and gore here, the film's other positive is the creature itself as there's far more than expected here in their behavior and tactics that makes them far more formidable than expected throughout here, all of which help this one against the few flaws here. The biggest issue to overcome here is the completely unknown creatures here, for as much good as it does in their behavior and attack tactics it loses in terms of their biology and history, and there's not even an official species name given to them which leaves them altogether quite problematic. The other big problem here is the lame CGI present which makes for a rather obvious time here whether being utilized for the creatures or the rather lame insert shots here that tend to stick out quite obviously. There's very little times where it all looks quite cheesy and fake here, which does lower this one. Along with a few lame kills early on, these are the film's flaws.
Rated R: Graphic Violence and Language.
