Everyone know the plot about a bunch of criminals on a boat who are stalked by a sea monster after stealing part of the Cuban Treasury during the Castro revolution.
I swear this movie must have cost Roger Corman about 3 dollars, but it is a hell of a lot off fun. Fil Masters has remastered this little gem and it looks very good.
Antony Carbone stars as Renzo Capetto, a gangster who helps steal part of the treasury and then has his own plans on how to use it. He and his motley crew decide to kill off the Cuban soldiers one by one using the legend of a sea monster to get the job done.
Soon he and the others come to realize that the monster is real. This is part comedy and part horror and everything works well, at least it does for me.
The rest of the cast includes Betsy Jones Moreland, Robert Bean, Beach Dickerson, Robert Towne and Sonia Noemi Gonzalez. There are both the theatrical version and the TV version on this disc.
The TV version is about 12 minutes longer as they had to shoot extra scenes so TV stations could fill and hour and a half time slot. This is highly recommended and worth a look.
