Sea Beast Review - Saturday Night Fright Special
July 09 2009
SEA BEAST is the story of the McKenna family, who are a part of a fishing community somewhere in the Pacific Northwest. Will McKenna is a down-on-his-luck salmon boat captain whose fortune turns even sourer when a couple of crew members of his ship die under some very uncanny and unpleasant circumstances. Before long, Will becomes convinced that a "sea creature" is wreaking havoc, but no one believes him. This bloodthirsty monstrosity kills quickly and then vanishes, is not completely visible at all times and no one else has been an eyewitness to its ghastly killing methods. With the help of a plucky young marine biologist named Arden and his daughter Carly, Will goes on a hunt to bring down this menace before the rest of the village ends up as fish food.
SEA BEAST has a very good premise that is none the worse for wear, in which some denizen of the deep has come ashore, it can't be seen and it even evidences predator tactics reminiscent of the angler fish or the "sea devil". While none of this is terribly novel, it doesn't have to be. The thought of a slimy, barnacle-encrusted fish-reptile that has the power to cloak itself and then kill in a variety of terrifying manners is perfect "monster movie" fare and can be entertaining for even those of us who have seen this kind of flick or TV episode before.
