Customer Reviews of Tentacles
Bad, even by Drive In standards I definitely have fonder memories of what was going on in my car at the drive-in than what was going on up on the movie screen. I believe my date's name was Jody and the movie (second on the bill) was TENTACLES.
The only thing I remember were the puppet killer whales tearing a real octopus apart for the finale (a dead octopus, from what I've read--but this was a European film, right?).
The only reason I'm writing a review for this movie--in the off-chance that you'll actually watch it--is to share some trivia: all of Henry Fonda's scenes were shot in his backyard. He agreed to do this piece of crap as long as they paid him and HE DIDN'T HAVE TO LEAVE HOME! Is that hilarious? He just walked out to his backyard, shot all his scenes on his own lawn furniture (most on a dummy phone, as I recall), and picked up a check.
You're going to put more effort into watching this movie than Henry Fonda did APPEARING in it!
MST3K FODDER!!!
That's right, another movie that MST3K, if they haven't already, should rip apart!!! This movie just plain sucks. Bad acting, boring plot, and well, it just plain sucks don't see unless you see the, if there is one, MST3K version.
Wait, no....Aieeeeeee-oh, it's just rubber.
I am a true fan of Cephalopods, including octopuses. A huge octopus gets agrivated from being disturbed by human activity. So, he gets hungry, and here we go. A lot of the scenes where the people get wrapped in his tentacles and get devoured are quite gruesome...but not enough.
The best scene, well, REALLY, the poor girl! The octopus wrecks her yacht at night, and as she is floating around by herself, she waits by wreckage to be picked up, yet it was the octopus who "picked her up" instead of the local friendly Coast Guard-well, they probably got sacked by the beast as well. Her terrifying screams and being held up like a trophy by the monster was very creepy. Other than that, good actors who want a last chance at being a star get wrapped up in this dreadful acted and scripted waste. And octopi don't make sounds like a giant slurpy straw, or roaring. Bad cinemaphotography too.
Huh? A tentacle...ah! Mr. Octopus-it wasn't that bad! Uh, three stars, okay? Ah! HELLLLLLP! (BLUB)
