Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Alicia I love this movie so much

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Stevieboy666 An American submarine is attacked by a giant octopus, but there is also danger on the inside in the shape of a dangerous terrorist (not helped by the most inept special agent in history!). If you enjoy creature movies with dumb plots, bad acting, terrible scripts and cheap "special" effects then this one is for you. Otherwise give it a wide berth. The only thing that I gained from watching this rubbish was a headache!

ebiros2 The production is pretty good with this movie. They could have made it into a solid B movie if the dialog wasn't so bad. The one who wrote the script should be shot. The acting wasn't so great either but not sure if this is a side effect of crappy scripting. The actors themselves seemed decent enough, except for the Roy character who constantly over acted the scenes.Special effects were also acceptable for a movie of this type, so they shot themselves in the foot somehow and made this into less of a movie than it could have been.This movie could have been better if they took out all the silly over acting, and put in better dialogs.

Michael_Elliott Octopus (2000) ** (out of 4) A government man is able to catch a terrorist but only after his partner is killed. To get him back to the U.S. they decide to load him on a submarine but on the journey the sub comes under attack by a large octopus. It turns out that during the Cuban Missile Crisis a Russian sub had toxic chemicals on board when it was struck by a torpedo and this is what has caused the octopus to mutate. This "nature amuck" film is yet another from the fine folks at Nu Image Films and like the others they're dealing with a low budget but the film is in good nature and one certainly shouldn't take it too serious. I think this is going to appeal to those who enjoy the low-budget style of someone like Cannon. This film here certainly has a lot of horror elements but they also go for some rather cheap but fun action including the opening sequence when the submarine is struck and eventually sinks. I must give the set designer credit because even with the low budget we still get some good looking sets that makes you feel as if you're on a real sub. Jay Harrington plays the government guy and his performance is pretty good but at the same time you can't help hate him because he's such a wimp. He watches this terrorist kill his partner and he does nothing. He watches this terrorist kill people on the sub and he does nothing. He's even given a third chance at redemption and does nothing. He's certainly not the type of "action hero" you want to see in a film like this. Ravil Isyanov isn't too bad as the science expert and David Beecroft does fine work chewing up the scenery. The octopus looks incredibly cheap, as you'd expect but that doesn't take away from the fun. When it's fighting the sub you can tell it's not nearly as big but later in the film it fights a cruise ship, which is much larger than the sub yet now the octopus is nearly double the size. The biggest thing working against the film is its 100-minute running time, which is just way too long for a picture like this. Thankfully the majority of the film contains nothing but action but there are still a few too many dialogue scenes that really go no where and I'm still not sold on the fact that the entire terrorist plot couldn't have been thrown out. Again, this is certain "B" movie material but if you're a fan of these types of films then this one here isn't too bad.

MartianOctocretr5 Starts off with a Soviet sub being lost in 1962 while on its way to Cuba. Cut to four decades later.There's confusing hi-jinks, political intrigue, and traitors aboard an American sub that find the old sub. There's also a giant Octopus wandering around that makes periodic (and oddly timely) attacks, whenever it serves to thicken the plot. A spy is aboard the sub, and endeavors to uhhh, umm, do something bad I guess. The script doesn't make it clear, and the novice acting by the cast doesn't help, either.Then the sub meets up with a cruise ship (!) What? Oh, and more spies show up too. The script darts around so much you'll get dizzy trying to follow it.The final scene is about the only part that has anything of interest happen, as the Octopus makes his finest appearance. He's pretty nasty looking, as the director loves to take CGI shots into his mouth, as he attacks. Most of what you see is sloppy CGI, but at least you get to see something happen after waiting through the entire movie.A goofy, bargain basement movie, good for sporadic moments of chaos and comedy.
