Beast of the Bering Sea

Look what followed me home, can I keep it? That's the basic premise of this sea vampire flick. A small group of nitwits go night diving for gold, besides picking up HUGE chucks of the yellow stuff, they also awaken a sea vampire who kills their diver then follows them back to their port of call. As they explained it, once it got a taste for human blood.....................(insert maniacal laughter here). Naturally, like all good citizens, they decide to hush up the death (he was only a deck hand after all). "It's not like we murdered him!" Wonderful, a family without a conscience. Unfortunately, the body also followed them home and lands on the beach, destined to be found by a nosy marine biologist also willing to forgo informing the authorities until she gets a chance to poke and prod the body (apparently, she does unauthorized autopsies as a side venture). All goes well until daddy dearest (Kevin Dobson in a mercifully brief appearance as the doomed dad) has the misfortune to have one growing inside of him. (Hmmm, now where have we seen a beastie burst out of someone's chest?) Pretty soon, it's up to the final four nitwits to handle the growing sea vampire menace on land and sea. There's a lot of running, hiding, snapping and snarling......"I'm coming for you suckers!" They jerry-rig a plan for the jerry-rigged plot that involves claim jumping, the merits of being a single dad, the brightest lights this side of Broadway, and a bad guy who wants to cause "a permanent accident" wherever he can.Wow, this is a really crappy movie with really crappy FX and the worse monster design...........ever! (They look like raincoats with teeth and a tail.) It's awe-inspiring what passes for art these days. Thankfully, it belongs in the limited category of "so bad it's good." I thought it was hilarious. It wasn't supposed to be hilarious, but there you have it.

I am a big fan of B horror movies and I watched this movie with extremely low expectations! On the surface this is your typical cheesy grade B horror movie with cheap special effects and so so acting but, on the other hand it really surprised me! This is a movie that is so bad it's actually pretty good and there are moments where I was laughing so hard I was crying! I mean vampire fish consider the possibilities and yes, they work in every vampire cliche you can think of! If you are looking for something a little different then I can recommend this movie but only as a rental, I don't recommend this as a keeper at all. Best described as campy cheesy fun!

I'll give it a three because I love B movie creature features. My copy, however, had a "gurgle" in the voice sound which made them difficult to understand and became really annoying (and, no, it wasn't a blu ray player sync problem). As for the creature effects I will never look at a black trash bag the same way again. Don't expect a great plot and the continuity guy should be fired.

Here's the thing...no one, and I do mean no one, watches a SyFy movie or anything that looks like it might be one, under the impression they're getting great cinematic quality. Or even a passing glance at anything that could be reality. That is the beauty of it. This movie had me giggling within five minutes, and curled up in a ball with tears rolling down my face within the first half hour. The sea bats are wonderfully low budget, and the plot line is perfectly absurd. After renting this I immediately ordered a copy to keep, and I will display it proudly on the shelf next to Sharknado, Dead Alive, my Evil Dead trilogy, and my Troma Films collection.

Is this movie good? Well, technically no. Is it great? HECK YES.Those dang sea vampires are up to no good again! Time to get out the backhoe and... dredge the ocean floor? Oh man, they were so into that misinformed scene that they put it on the cover. This movie is ridiculous fun and my family loved every minute of it. Definitely the best bad movie we've had the genuine pleasure of watching.

just got it today and stuck it in the machine and it was terrible. however, I stayed a little while longer...until the voice of actress cassie scerbo who is a big star (?) somewhere.....as I was saying, until the voice of this actress forced me to press the sound thingie to off. it's been a while and I can still hear it.....ok....the movie: movie stinks in almost all details. I mean really bad stuff. just glad jonathan Lipnicki is taking every job he can till his voice changes. he is a talented guy and the more he works the more he learns. read the case: depths of unspeakable terror!!! bloodsucking sea monsters (in capes) !!!...oh, bela Lugosi ... if you could just see this crap....

Nothing really stands out in this movie.Acting is average at best.Plot pretty averageSon Sells out Dad in movie and its never even mentioned.Probably not worth renting.

I absolutely loved it. Loved the "quality special effects" that make watching syfy movies great! I put this on one night when my mother-in-law was spending the night. She normally falls asleep watching my "quality" movies, but this one she was up til 3 am. A plus was it stuck with the story , no love scenes or arguments.

awesome
