Review of Tentacles

Jaws gets the spaghetti treatment
20 September 2021
A big octopus terrorises a small seaside community.

I can only assume the big named cast members were betting on this being a surprise hit, as big as Jaws. They put it reasonable performances in what is one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

Aside from the rocket-propelled octo-head in the regatta scene, towards the end of the movie, the entire thing is dull and lacks anything of interest to keep you watching. Some parts of the movie just don't make any sense; there seems to be a huge foul up with footage vs storyboard and the editing in the last third tries to save it but fails badly.

Not worth watching, even just for fun to see how bad it is.
