After a strange series of incidents, the owner of a Hawaiian tourist resort tries to downplay the incidents especially when he finds a local swindler trying to stop the resorts' activities, but as the attacks by a released shark get more destructive he's forced to rely on his help to stop the deadly creature.On the whole, this one was a highly disappointing effort.
A giant shark-like monster terrorizes a Hawaiian resort. The local fisherman all go hunting for the beast after smarmy resort assistant director Oscar Forbes (a nicely obnoxious portrayal by Kedric Wolfe) places a thousand dollar bounty on its head.
In the beautiful paradise that is Hawaii, something has been released from the nether regions of the ocean. Something that's turning tourists into human chum!
A seaside community is besieged by a giant shark like creature that threatens the local serenity. Greedy resort proprietor (Wolfe) sees a marketing opportunity and invites all and sundry to hunt down the perpetrator for a booty in cash and hotel discounts.
Up from the Depths (1979)* (out of 4) A Hawaiian resort comes under attack by a giant shark creature.Charles B.
"Up From The Depths" belongs at the bottom of any discerning movie-buff's list of "Jaws" relatives, it is truly dire. The plot summary needs no more than one line - a giant monster fish terrorises staff and holidaymakers at a Hawaiian beach resort.
Surfacing recently on a popular streaming service, Up From The Depths is a sorry-assed sub-aquatic horror from the golden age of Jaws rip-offs. The hokey plot sees underwater seismic activity forcing a huge, ravenous deep-sea fish to the surface where it proceeds to snack on the guests at a Hawaiian resort.
During my ongoing quest to track down literally every "Jaws" rip-off ever made (strange hobby, I know ), I already encountered numerous of truly horrible yet highly entertaining junk movies, but "Up from the Depths" most certainly makes it into my all-time top five of awfulness! This is your basic and by-the-numbers "Jaws" plot: tourists and divers are mysteriously disappearing nearby a Hawaiian holiday resort, but obviously the neurotic manager continuously keeps claiming everything's fine in order not to upset his guests, especially when a famous fashion model arrives at the resort for a photo shoot.
I have always been fond of fish movie like Humanoid from the Deep and Plankon,They bite etc. But I think this one was quite well made(at least the acting were alright).
