Beast Beneath

Sadly this followed Seven Samurai (1954), how could any movie possibly follow Seven Samurai?

It tells the supposedly true story revolving around a curse, a monster and a girl searching for her ancestors gold. Any "True story" that involves a monster loses credibility immediatly.

The rating at time of writing is an abyssmal 2.8, it's not that bad at all but it's still pretty naff.

It makes best use of it's budget to the movies credit, it limits the amount you see the monster and places it wisely to mask it's limitations. The creators clearly knew what they were doing, but the lack of budget and questionable cast really damaged it.

This is one of those harmless enough films to burn away 90 minutes with, it's not terrible it just isn't very good either.

The Good:

Has it's moments

Plot is actually alright

Creators do a decent enough job with the minimal budget

The Bad:

Flaws left, right and centre

Head scratchingly stupid finale

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

The best types of homeless folk are pirates
