The Beast - DVD

This movie has been lost in obscurity and was supposedly panned by critics, but I don't really see why. It's got solid acting (William Peterson knocks it out of the park), an acceptable plot, and the practical effects are good for a TV movie (although there's one scene that's really bad and you'll know it when you see it). If you've seen Jaws, this movie is very similar to that, but that's to be expected when both novels were written by Peter Benchley. That's not to say this is a ripoff, but they are indeed similar enough that you could almost say this is Jaws with a giant squid instead of a shark. It also takes a note from Jaws 3 that wasn't in the novel. Regardless, this is a very enjoyable movie to simply watch with friends, or add to your collection if you're a lover of creature flicks.

I was so happy to find this TV movie available on DVD.

This movie had a great production value and great cast. Don't see many types of the monster movie (particularly sea monsters) around today. At least, with the amount of seriousness that story has.

for awn older movie which I've never see I really enjoyed it.very pleased love the monster.

If you love films of Cephalopods that attack, than this is for you. It magnifies the marvel of the giant squid and the unknowns of the vast ocean.
