Audience Member "You don't cut watermelon with a knife." A Greek island hides an underwater cavern off its coast. A domineering American archaeologist played by a Shakespeare-quoting James Earl Jones searches for its location. His girlfriend is joined by her brother and his wife; all visitors are unwelcomed by the residents of the island. The archeologist triggers the awakening of an ancient seabeast through his explosive techniques while the Cobra Kai leader attempts to keep himself and the hotbods alive. Some funny dialogue, but there are better Greek island horror films, namely "Antropophagus" or better yet, "Island of Death." Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty goofy little adventure/thriller with a treasure hunter that unleashes an ancient monster. It's almost like a low budget adaptation of an Uncharted game, only not as fun, and without the rich characters. It's got some beautiful landscapes of Greece though... Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/17/20 Full Review Audience Member A premature thriller, mostly known for the great landscapes of a beautiful island in Greece..! Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member For a low-budget, occult thriller, 80's-era B-movie, I really enjoyed it, though I love occult thrillers as guilty pleasures. The direction is unexceptional but decent, the cinematography (easy, because of the gorgeous locales and mostly outdoor shooting) was surprisingly very good and the soundtrack was passable. I loved the casting, with Martin Kove (from The Karate Kid trilogy), James Earl Jones and Jose Ferrer (who always makes a great nasty, what with his cosmopolitan look, like Anthony Quinn, and his condescending, 'I'm better than you, and why do you think you can even exist on the same planet as me?' sneer and attitude), and, of course, the gorgeous women. Though the special effects were low-budget and quaint, they worked on this scale, and how they were executed. There's gratuitous nudity and sex at every conceivable opportunity (and a lot of inconceivable ones!) and even incestuous overtones, so it's terrifically entertaining, if not a cinephilic masterwork. In short, it's worth a look, especially if you enjoy B-movies and occult thrillers, particularly from the 80's. It's both free online, or I found my copy in my legendary Mill Creek 50-pack, 'Nightmare Worlds'. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Forgettable if you're lucky. Amateurishly performed with no demons. There may have been a second's glimpse of something at the very end, but how it wasn't the ending career of James Earle Jones is beyond my comprehension. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A honeymooner tracks his missing sister to a remote Greek island where the weirdo locals and expats are hunting for treasure and dealing with a sea monster. James Earl Jones' performance as a drunken, "Othello"-quoting archeologist is the only point of interest in this cheap and poorly designed creature feature that blatantly rips off better movies (e.g. JAWS).
