This was quite formulaic. Some college student animal activists get themselves killed when they enter a research lab. Unfortunately, they unleash the Kraken. A genetically engineered monster with spines that it uses to reproduce in host bodies. Unfortunately, good old Charlie gets one of these spines in him, and the stuff begins to gestate inside of him. Then it's the tired old thing where the group runs against the clock to get some blood from this thing so they can create an antidote. It's a race against time with the most ridiculous science at the center. Bishop has been carrying some guilt until he realizes that he did not set this whole thing in motion.
