James Van der Beek leaves Dawson’s Creek for a lake near a Canadian fishing village suffering from giant squid problems.
Pretty typical and formulaic. Filmmakers wisely didn’t show the squid too much, leaving the actions and reactions of the characters, for better or worse, to tell the story. A few shots of the tentacles looked pretty good, but there were just as many that looked like rubber on a string.
Eye of the Beast
From the Depths of the Ocean Comes Man's Darkest Fear.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A creature-feature that blends genuine tension with tongue-in-cheek fun, following a skeptical scientist as a sea monster terrorizes a small fishing community. It's the kind of monster movie that doesn't take itself too seriously but still delivers thrills.
