Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A tropical resort finds a hungry prehistoric fish interrupting its holiday business. Awkward dubbing and murky creature encounters give this Jaws-style diversion its rough charm, although the strange comic decisions are often more visible than the monster.

Synopsis and movie facts
The staff and vacationers at a first-class resort on the island of Maui are beginning to mysteriously disappear. A biologist believes that an underwater earthquake has caused a giant and very hungry dormant prehistoric fish to be released from its slumber. The fish voraciously helps itself to a tourist buffet. Now it is open season for the local fishermen to find and kill the creature.
