The Beast (1996)
6/10
Slow Jaws-like movie featuring a giant squid.
11 April 2015
Warning: Spoilers
This is a made-for-TV movie that somewhat follows the same plot element of Jaws, but instead of featuring a gigantic Great White Shark, it features a gigantic squid. It takes place off the coast in a place called Graves Point, where divers vanish, and sea biologist Dr. Whip Talley (William Petersen) investigates.

The special effects were pretty good and the suspense of the menacing tentacled creature keeps you on the edge of your seat at times. However, the pacing in the plot is a little slow and ***spoiler ahead, but doesn't give away ending*** the creature in my opinion does not appear enough and when it is, you could hardly see it ***spoiler ends***.

There is also limited action and lots of all-talk. However, it is still pretty suspenseful and you could see it at least once for the fun of it.
