Wow, poor girl. Imagine getting attacked by a piece of driftwood.

Surely that is just someone’s home movie project, not an actual film for release?

Yep, it does look pretty bad.

My favorite “Bad” Lake Monster movie of all time is Lake Placid, though. Didn’t like it when it came out and I still don’t like it.
Particularly since Ole Annoying Betty White is in it.

Good, funny post, Loren. Thanks for the laugh.

You guys are being WAY too harsh!
The effects are stunning! The acting, brilliant! The scenerio about a huge unknown, man-eating cryptid that’s been undiscovered in a tiny pond for over 30 years, unflappable!

Yes its real i’ve known about it for over a year, it’s nothing compared to the demonic half pig half bigfoot flick I saw! A fun one on the way is the Flock about a colony of surviving humanly intelligent terror birds in California. Giant shark vs mega octopus was a stinker, though it was fun to see Debbie Gibson after all these years. The old seventies octopus flick was an italian feature called Tentecals.

This is obviously not a REAL movie…

Still, “Come and get it, lunch is ready!” right before the girl is eaten was kind of funny…in a terrible movie, bad acting, non-script, kind of way….

Having to digest that terrible actress… breaks my heart

Is there a reason her swim suit changes from blue to black several times? First on the beach and then during the attack.

If she didn’t want to put the wet swim suit back on the second day, the director should have bought her a second identical suit.

And that is the ~only~ reason I can find to call this a bad movie.

That and the script that looked great on paper, without bothering to hear what it sounds like.

I believe I saw a movie as a child in the 70s called ‘Octopus’ that was rollickingly bad, but that was obviously an ocean-going critter, so I guess it doesn’t really qualify.

The acting in this one stinks worse than a skunk ape in August, true enough. I’m not sure which I find the funniest:

a) the fuschia-colored blood (if the serpent didn’t kill her, her apparent hematological problem would have);

b) the person just off-screen on the right who is slapping the water during the attack scene to make it more ‘dramatic’; or

c) the hand – held perfectly vertical and without so much as a twitch – smoothly descending into the water like the end of a drill team routine.

It’s scary, all right … in all the wrong ways. But I confess that I love watching really awful stuff like this; it leaves me chuckling for days.
