Shoudn't it be called...


"Danger at the Villa" or "Death in the Sun" or "The Locked Room" or something more gothic and less cheesy sci-fi like "The Snorkel?" That name would have turned me off if I had not read the synopsis. After all, it's not like THE SNORKEL is a sea beast or anything.

I liked it, though some of Paul's actions seemed a little far-fetched. He's going to kill everyone in this family and get away with it? Right. Even so, I enjoyed it. Even without a creature from under the sea (unless you count Paul).

Am I anywhere near the imaginary cliff?

I agree, they should've put more thought into the title.



Cheese fries...next time.

I thought the title summed up the movie quite nicely. It was the clue that made the puzzle fit for Jean.

Far-fetched was when he'd watched the dog retrieve the face mask several times, but instead of getting rid of the mask he got rid of the dog!

i was thinking the same thing
