Eye of the Beast remake?


The dialouge evokes deja-vu. Is this a remake of another film? Or maybe just another crummy script? Very dumb either way and a waste of time.

Just another dumb, formulaic Sci-Fi Channel "original".

Nowhere girl i think the film that you think this might be a remake of is Peter Benchley's The Beast back in 1996 which i found better than this one.. Pretty much the same premise but no cgi squid.

You know what i do like -is that Sci-Fi channels attempt to show a "some-what" re-creation of such fave movies like Benchley's The Beast which most def. had a larger budjet to begin with, but this kind of movie was sorta ok to watch-i was kinda simmering the fact that a young talent like James would be in a lower budget type flick but i take it he's a fan of this kinda skit (killer marine life). This movie for some reason had a Killer Tomatoes feel to it, which to me was a god aweful flick to watch but does have a huge following minus the killer veggies or shall i say killer fruit lol..so i guess acting is acting and work is work for actors. as for the movie i would have to say it was just bare-able to watch and was fairly easy to follow along. simple film to me as i can almost guarantee it will on from time to time especially in the summer months.

I'd like to see a killer fruit played by a midget with a twisted arm; he could jump up and down and fall over in a bucket of vomit and sing about what crap all this is.

Nothing is more beautiful than nothing.

David Lynch would direct, I presume? <G>

I think I would have to compare this to Fire Maidens From Outer Space or other movies where absolutely nothing happens for the longest time. This is so bad & boring it's hard to make fun of, unlike most of the Sci-Fi Channel movies which give us all a good laugh every Saturday.

reply

Many of the Sci Fi Channel movies are semi-remakes of better known movies, or a combination of two popular movies.

reply

yes, and with similar (not exact) names as these better known movies!

It isn't dumb if you put yourself in the place of the characters, feeling what they feel. IMDb says this movie is not a remake of any movie.
