Featured reviews
It is ocean demons meets the "Gremlins", and then it is Godzilla's horseshoe crab meets the Iron Giant's nerdy brother, with all the zaniness, a pinch of the charm, and none of the sincerity. Who would have ever thought that Dwight Schrute's Ukrainian cousin, Radu, would steal the show? Straight out the gate, following an animated intro, we know we're in for some Sharknado realm calamity with a graphic sex scene and gory violence. It was an entertaining ride, except for the Lord's name used in vain, the overuse of F words and middle fingers, and the fact that EVERYBODY seems to smoke the weezy.
But ever too late for the mood and minds of todays generations. Its a soup aux creative of stuff and caracters in comedy that we enjoyed in the 1980's, and to make a success either through irony or forreal it bellydives into oblivion for sure.
It made me laugh a few times cause i do love the 80's comedy with practical joke and slap stick instead of verbal throwups that rules today. Cast and plot and all over special effects are loudicrous and qualifys itself into some of the most cringeworthy and cheesy stuff ever made in this millenium.
I know my comedy, and its not what the grumpy old man enjoys, therefore a degraded recommend, pointing at the first half as viewable.

A fun throwback to little creature features such as Gremlins and Critters that is not as polished or extreme as it could be.
The acting is alright, with characters that are somewhat bland (with the exception of am offensive comic relief character called Radu, who while fun at times, is definitely too over utilized). But kudos for having a physically disabled character as the protagonist.
The effects are pretty impressive for a film of this budget but it goes too much into camp in the kaju type end sequence.
All in all a fun little romp, but don't go expecting too much.

Campy good fun. If you like to laugh and gross out -- highly recommended. The cinematography, production design, and acting is very good. The edit and score kept perfect pacing to the end. Good work!
Just dumb fun. Switch off your brain and have fun. Try not to read too much info as you don't want this spoiling.
