Return to the Video Store #16 (Shark Week!)
Up from the Depths (1979)
(6/10): Directed by Charles B. Griffith and produced by good old Roger Corman, the latter of whom was Overdue for another film of his for me to cover, but frankly this isn't one of his more entertaining films he produced.
A group of people on the Hawaiian coast are being eaten by a giant Shark Like Creature and that's pretty much it for plot.
Once again, not too much Shark action but here I don't blame them as it looks ridiculous, it's like a rubber suit thing, it's not convincing in the slightest, but it's also part comedy so I don't get that either.
Not only is it a Jaws Cash-In but it's one of the Three supposed remakes Corman did of his 1957 Thunder Over Hawaii film. So there's that too.
Overall it just feels more or less somewhat boring or bland, not necessarily bad from what I've experienced and what I expected but still not that special kind of bad either.
Although someone answer me this, do people drink from glasses while swimming in the ocean? Like no floatie, no boat just in the ocean drinking a glass of water, do people really do that? Cause that's gonna bug me now lol.
