Friday night -
Tentacles
- an Italian rip-off of Jaws that replaces the shark with an extremely fake giant octopus.
Tentacles is not part of MIFF. In fact, it isn't properly part of cinema, even bad cinema. It exists in its own separate dimension of bad. Why would I go to MIFF tonight, when I can go see Tentacles at the Astor? Underwater, no one can hear you scream. They just hear you go blub blub blub blub.
About Me
- Nick
- I am a documentary maker, student, wannabe writer, game show addict and general layabout. During my considerable spare time I watch lots of films and write about them here. At least, that's the intention.

vyadiaAnd I was right there with you Nick! Execpt when I started to nod off near the end during the climactic hand-puppet-whale-vs-dead-actual-octopus battle.
As an introduction to the cinema of Ovidio Assontis (oft-credited as Oliver Hellman), it makes me want to never experience anymore of his films. This said, the guy did produce James Cameron's first directorial effort, Pirahna II: The Spawning. Actually directed most of it too (uncredited) after firing Cameron!
