Random pick for movie night. It's a monster movie, so it can't be awful. Right?
A "strong" earthquake makes a crack in the bottom of a lake. Now there's a large mollusk, and it's hungry.
The earthquake was hilarious, since the men looked like they just lost their balance. The monster was...something. We couldn't even figure out what it was. We also couldn't figure out where everyone kept disappearing to. At one point, four men went out in a boat. In the next scene, there are three.
This movie had potential. The monster was ridiculous. I mean, who thought up a mollusk as a monster? But so much happened off screen, it was annoying. They killed the ones in the lake and destroyed the eggs OFF SCREEN! Why? When the eggs looked like balloons, it couldn't have been hard to make a bunch and blow them. Then, at the end, they blew up more OFF SCREEN. The best part was the lab showdown, which happened in the last five minutes. I think the mom was trying to sacrifice her kid, because when she sees the monster cornering her daughter, she runs farther into the room instead of pulling the child out the door.
Anyway, I got some laughs out of this one, but I can only imagine how amazing it could have been had they just decided to show something! And who knew that strokes in young people came from violent anger or fear? I think that doctor was a quack.
RIP bunnies - the child is responsible for your death...
