OCOG s comment:

Again botch such a monster in the wake of Jaws . And again so bad.

As a huge octopus off the coast of California for fear and terror (and the one or the other victims munched like a baby or a couple of divers provides), decides marine biologist Will Gleason (Bo Hopkins) to bring the natural enemies of the octopus to use-two trained orca that is.

The short-cut action promises to be a real trash fireworks. Unfortunately this is not but then Sun And that is certainly not because The polyp was a great movie Sun Quite the contrary.

So why such famous faces as John Huston, Shelly Winters and Henry Fonda in the grottig strip romp is more than questionable. Because the appearance of Hollywood stars can not shine the movie brilliant. A film like The Who Polyp look, puts his focus on something else anyway: The monster that is. And you get them once again not enough to see. The giant octopus is usually is nothing more than a small squid that have been filmed at his unexciting driving in the aquarium. Otherwise, it only consists of the usual rubber tentacles, that beat random order and take from time to time strunz stupid people.

The highlight of the monster'schen binge will then undoubtedly the Junior Regatta represent not only participate in the many children in small sailing boats, but also attracts countless spectators. Where to now might be a lurid and perhaps even a bit Splatter could expect exciting event, there is the absolute bloodless boredom. The director is the dreary, lackluster racing far too much running time that is neither exciting nor interesting to look more beautiful. Idiotic still images, stupid cuts between screaming kids in boats (scream really afraid of? So really likes to them the decline that is not), one of which capsized after another, and amused adults on the shore, noticed by all that only too late , will probably give rise atmosphere, but are only one-dead boring.

The script fails here (and in general) miserably. Our heroes enter the Coast Guard too late Decision and for several minutes silently grieving people catch not just the sympathy of the audience. can fat people in bathing suits you will not really see how stupid you do in the face of the monster, Gleason's wife Vicky shows quite vividly.

It is hoped therefore that the final-fight between the Octopus and killer whales better. From the standpoint of the fans saw it out the trash does. The whales must in fact do not need to be trained for the fight Gleason appeals easily to the instincts of animals, of course understand every word and immediately swim away, then in poor underwater shots either dolphins or stupid silhouettes against a little tentacle monster threatening to stink. So what strunz doofes you have not seen forming long (at least for the trash-lover) the culmination of The polyp .

Overall, The polyp but a terrible botch of extreme lengths of film. The trash comes in lean portions, served from yawning boredom and meaningless movie scenes. Since even the interested audience is disappointed. Sure no one has so much patience, just to be able fully to its costs. Really bad.
