Review of Tentacles (1977) by John Joseph M — 04 May 2012

This is a movie that really gets killed in the fact that it triede to reach a wider audience by going pg-13, but would have definitely been a classic with some sexuality and more gore. The plot is actually really good, a lot of humour (whether incedental or planned) good music, decent creature effects, it is mostly lacking blood and a higher body count.

The bloody octopus attacks a whole regatta...knocks down several ships and kills one? After the first crusty sailor kill I expected better. I love movies that start by introducing several characters to kill them off and this one was no exception.

The ending is kind of odd, but cool non-the-less.
