Hard to believe that nowadays, with all these CGI botoxed movies (Suicide Squad 2 anyone?!?) generating a new disease, the rating of this wonderful movie still stays so low! What a shame/pitty!

Oh, I see: The whole thing is "just" an Italian rip off Jaws??? No kiddin' folks! Wow, what a scoop! So what, isn't it the reason why open minded kino-goers cherrish this kind of treat? And this one for sure is thanks to Lamberto Bava (one of his better efforts), Luigi Cozzi and the great Sergio Martino: what a team: Thanks guys!

By the way, "Jaws rip off"... hum... really? As far as I can remember this film (I saw it once again yesterday...), exception made of the old couple on a boat being attacked, no other tourists in sight, so WTF???

This is just a fantasy extravaganza, an exploitation flick (low budget but plenty of joy!) beautifully shot, with (damn!) hot chicks and boobs (no CGI-lifting in sight here as added to customise Mila Jovovic in Resident Evil 4 or Scarlet in Black Widow) a low but effective body count and, last but not least, a GREAT rubber monster (very well made when it is shown under water)! Wow!

So relax and enzzZzoy (Enzo G. Castellari style;-) this almost 40 years old Gem. You... can't regret it! So give it a try.
