Sea Beast (2008)

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

People love to hate on SyFy stuff, yet Sharknado was a HUGE phenomenon. I caught Sea Beast on Showtime Next, so it was at least not edited for television & commercial breaks. The story is simple enough: amphibious sea monsters find their way to a human smörgåsbord, and it is up to a fisherman and his science-y sidekick to prove the creatures are there and then to find a way to stop them. Solid creature feature with decent "budget" CGI & practical effects. A bit of silly gore helps move it along, and I will admit I fast forwarded through the slower bits. Sea Beast is at least better than 99% of The Asylum fare that passes for a movie. (Don't get me wrong - I dig The Asylum's hokum, and, from a business standpoint, you cannot beat their ROI.) Script, characters, acting, all shallow and one-dimensional, but inoffensively so if you know what you're getting into, and moreover, you like this kind of modern B-movie effort. I enjoyed it, and I give Sea Beast a grade of Deep C. Hardeeharhar.

Bad acting, Crappy CGI, Predictable plot... All combined to into one awesome movie.So you get some hilarious looking frog, lizard, fish, invisible thing that comes out of the sea to some small harbor town and kills people by paralyzing them with spit then eating them so one guy sees it and nobody believes him. Then after so one runs into the town diner and describes exactly what the other guy did. So all the men pull the shotguns, hunting rifles, one guy had a sniper I think out of no where like they had an ammo locker in there pockets the ride out and all get owned... Need I say more watch it and laugh your head off.

There is a thing out there called ... Man-Eater series. And this is one of their "beasts". And while other movies try to be original with their titles (and only them), this does have at least some more or less decent acting behind it all. It's nothing great and even while the dialogue is spoken you can feel how the actors struggle to keep a straight face, with all the plot holes and turns they take while talking.But you won't watch it, for the acting now, will you? Exactly. So if you're here for the beast(s), you will have to do with mostly CG-generated ones. It's not a complete waste of time, but then again, you might wanna watch something more interesting (and comprehensible)

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.
