Tentacle Ratings
A rough measure of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
- S____ (One Tentacle: Debateably Lovecraftian; has almost no direct connection to Lovecraft's work)
The monsters are basically Deep Ones...
Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.
Reviews
Review Links:
- Andrew Borntreger at Badmovies.org (2/4 Slimes) (link) - "This film is one of the cookie-cutter monster movies produced by SyFy so it can claim to be something other than a delivery channel for "Ghost Hunters" and late night infomercials. ... though for some unexplainable reason I do not find it as painful as many other SyFy movies."
- Andrew Smith at Popcorn Pictures (link) - "Sea Beast stoops to a new low of ridiculousness and tedium that will be pretty hard to beat. But knowing the Sci-Fi Channel, they’ll be able to beat it!"
- Andy Webb at The Movie Scene (2/5 Stars) (link) - "... "Sea Beast" isn't terrible but it isn't that great either and basically does little more than tick some genre boxes. But as I said it isn't terrible and I have watched a lot worse."
