one of the worst movies I have ever seen (spoilers)
I love B movies and I love Roger Corman and the newer Sci Fi channel stuff (sharktopus, dinoshark etc) but this movie was just plain bad. Not even "so bad it was good" just bad. I have seen just about all of the mystery science theater movies and I can't think of one that was worse than this. I'm not even sure where to begin. It's not even the ridiculous plot, that isn't any worse than a lot of movies I've seen. So many of the characters were so annoying that I was hoping they would die. All the yelling and screaming and whining and sobbing...the best part was when Taylor killed himself (or was killed by the terrorist I never could figure it out) Sadly, three of the most annoying survived. If ever there was a movie where I was rooting for the monster this was it. After the octopus I was rooting for the terrorist.
I won't say it was the worst movie ever because that is so cliche and I am sure there are some that might be worse but if you were to make come up with one now I don't think I could. I can say without hesitation that this is certainly in the top 5 (bottom 5?) of the worst movies I have ever seen.
If I have to read the book to help explain the movie that tells me the movie failed
