Verdict on Eye of the Beast
Eye of the Beast is a sci-fi creature feature following a small fishing town which has come under attack by a giant squid. They must band together to defeat the creature if they are to keep their community alive.
When it comes to the creature feature world, we get plenty over the years. This works perfectly well within those movies and gives us a fun little creature. It has the dangers and most importantly a potential real threat, as nobody knows what is in the truth depths of the ocean. Parts of the movie can feel cheesy, but as long as it is fun, which it is, you can have a good time.
Where to Watch
Final Thoughts – Eye of the Beast is a fun late night creature feature.
