During the Cuban missile crisis in 1962, a Russian submarine strays into American waters. On board is a nuclear cargo destined for Castro. The Americans attack and destroy the sub. 38 years later US submarine Roosevelt is in the same waters. An unknown object attacks and disables the sub with devastating force and drags the vessel to the bottom of the ocean. What lies on the ocean bed beggars belief: dozens of wrecks, among them the sub destroyed 38 years ago. Whatever was on board has fed a creature of unbelievable size and strength! The only way out is the emergency submersible and a passing cruise ship. Above or below the water, there is no escape from the monster mutant octopus with a nuclear diet...

How sad is this?
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
An American submarine is attacked by a giant octopus, but there is also danger on the inside in the shape of a dangerous terrorist (not helped by the most inept special agent in history!). If you enjoy creature movies with dumb plots, bad acting, terrible scripts and cheap "special" effects then this one is for you. Otherwise give it a wide berth. The only thing that I gained from watching this rubbish was a headache!
While expecting little from Octopus I was preparing to be mildly entertained. In all honesty I was more entertained by Spiders and Frankenfish of the one word creature features, but Octopus is better than Crocodile. It is not a complete disaster, I did think the cast did a better than average job considering what they had to work with, and the ending was exciting and intense with the Octopus, who was otherwise not very scary and was under-utilised, making its best appearance. However, the effects are very artificial-looking and don't move very convincingly, and the hackneyed editing doesn't help either. The script is cheesy and muddled, the story is mostly dull and predictable with any scenes meaning to be scary undermined by a real lack of tension and like I said with Crocodile I wouldn't have minded whether the characters were clichéd if they weren't so poorly developed and shallow. Overall, the ending is good but the movie overall is pretty bad. 3/10 Bethany Cox
I guest most of you have never heard of this and keep it that way (lol). This has to be one of the most silly movies I have seen.The Plot of the movie During the Cuban Missle Crisis, a Russian sub is sunk while en route to Havana. As the sub goes down, the hold is breached and barrels full of some mysterious substance tumble out. Years later, an American nuclear submarine is transporting a captured terrorist to the States. The terrorist's henchmen, however, are planning to hijack the sub and rescue their leader. Meanwhile, a large, unidentified creature is approaching the sub at high speed.The whole movie is about unknown creature, I Wonder what that could be?Well the TITLE is a big give away,! and the worst of all beside the horrible acting is and we Only see Ginat Octopous once near the end, who ends up killing the terrorist the only part I really likedif you are thinking seeing this movie just fast forward to the best part of movie that is the last 10-15 minutes of movie.3/10 just for ending
Well, it is entertaining. It seems that every 15 seconds something happens that is so laughably idiotic, that everyone watching can get a poke in at some point. The film seems to be incompetent on every level. The acting seems terrible, but it is difficult to criticize, since turning out a decent performance with this script would be impossible. For example, the oceanographer, Dr. Lisa Finch, strips more often than she analyzes anything. Carolyn Lowery was obviously cast for her boobs more than for acting ability, but how could she possibly be convincing in the role of scientist and compulsive seductress at the same time? When she has to swim for her life, she takes off her skirt and leaves her shoes on. Some scientist. The writing goofs are hilarious though. Whenever the ride gets rough, ketchup bottles, stored on an open shelf crash to the floor (someone should tell submarine designers to stow those away). A giant octopus survives several mine blasts, and keeps coming, yet runs yelping when a tentacle is shot with a pistol. Later, it survives a nuclear fission blast, only to be smashed to atoms by a few sticks of dynamite at the end. A cruise ship is hunting an attack sub, which makes about as much sense as an elephant hunting a cheetah (what will it do if it catches it?). Our "hero," Roy Turner, is assigned to a sub, walks out on a pier at the edge of a lake, and the sub surfaces--in the lake! If you need a laugh, I would recommend this one any day. I give it a two out of ten, because we got a kick out of it. One warning though: this one is so bad it's good if watched with friends, but if viewed alone, might be so bad it's bad.
