The Bermuda Depths (1978)

Such a frustrating disappointment

Better than most people think

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Like many of the rest of you, I thought this movie may have been a dream while I was a child. I saw it only once on TV and then never again. It was the best movie, thank god i remembered Carl Weathers or I'd never have known how to search it. All I could remember was the beach and the bubble which ended up bearing the turtle and the initials in his shell which i used to think were written in chalk! And of course Jenny's flowing dress in shreds with the giant harpoon hole in her side. this was a mystical movie that just brought kids into a completely different world and there were very few of these in the 70s and perhaps that is why it meant so much to so many. Please release this onto DVD. We should lobby whatever network this was broadcast on and beg to have it mass produced.

thought i was going nuts! i have seen only the last 10 minutes of this movie sometime in the early eighties but ever since that day the image of that giant sea turtle dragging a black man to his death still haunts me. How i wish i can see the full version of the movie so i will have the idea of what it was all about. i have been talking with friends and relatives about this movie w/ a giant turtle but it seems nobody has seen it. i really don't know why it still lingers in my mind to this very day. there must be some scientific or psychological explanation. Maybe, like the title, it will remain as an enigma. can anybody please tell me where to find a copy of this precious movie? i am more than willing to pay in $$

I was bored and a search on Google for giant turtle etc etc brought me here to this page and it's great to see that there are others!Well just to echo all the echoing I have to do the same and say I'm another one of those kids who saw this movie about the giant turtle, the carved initials, the boy and girl on the beach in the sand. According to other comments it was in 1978 I guess when I was 7 or 8 depending on the month, and I was affected deeply by it.I'm not much of a movie fan even but don't know what it is exactly, the images and sounds really have "haunted" and "lingered" with me deep down inside for all these years.It's not as if you bring up a movie about a giant turtle at all really (my wife thought I was nuts but to give her credit her parents hadn't even met in 1978) but a funny thing happened this one time. Ironically enough it was probably the last time I thought about the 'Giant Turtle'.A few years back when I was meeting my hometown best friend's fiancé for the first time we got to talking over a few bottles of wine about this and that and somehow that giant turtle got into my head - and I mention it thinking whatever, it'll be a "Giant what?" kind of response when instead I get stunned silence and we sit there looking at each other like ... "Was there an egg in the sand??" "Maybe, and the initials on the turtle's shell, in the heart!" "'eah, and the guy getting hauled off at the end??" "The music??" "YEAH, and..." More stunned silence and then laughter - relief.We became each other's 'only other one' for just that couple of minutes and the 3 of us went on talking about the movie, explaining it to Trever and how weird it was and it was great.Who would have thought it was actually Action Jackson that got dragged down like that... Can't remember was he a good guy or a bad guy? Only remember I was a little sad. Striking imagery though.I'd have to say as well as a side note that even though there might be a part of me that does, I believe I do not want to see this movie again for the risk of ruining the magic.

I like so many have very fond memories of this movie. I can't explain it I think I was like 9 or 10 when I watched it with my mom and my brother, and to this day we still talk about it and wish we could find it on tape or DVD. I remember my brother recorded the song Jennie because we loved it so much and to this day it still haunts my memory. I beg any movie lover out there to please try to find this and watch it because they don't make movies like this anymore it is so simple in its presentation yet for my money is better than any $100 million Hollywood blockbuster because I forget half of them when I walk out of the theater but I still remember this movie from over 20 years ago. Please I beg anyone who remembers this movie to try to find a way to convince the copyright owner to re-release it on DVD I think they would be surprised at the response it would get.
