All things considered, it’s a fairly good movie,” says producer Nico Mastorakis about this odd fright-flick. Though hardly the most effusive praise, his comments are still a step up from director Richard Jefferies claiming he wanted “to kill multiple people” after first witnessing what had been done in post-production to the film he set out to make. Despite involving virgin sacrifice, a sea monster and James Earl Jones punching a watermelon, the drama in this frustratingly languid creature-feature is strictly behind the scenes. Anton van Beek
