Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Sam Panico Sure, Jaws was frightening. But now, "just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...you can't get to it!" A woman walks her dog along the beach before she is pulled under the sand by an unseen creature. Her screams alert Harry Caluder, a harbor patrol office who is swimming in the ocean. He reports her disappearance to LAPD detectives Royko (Burt Young, Amityville II: The Possession) and Pianadosi, who can do nothing without a body.The woman's estranged daughter, Catherine (Marianna Hill, Messiah of Evil) calls Henry about her mother. Even after she finds a dog with a severed head, no one can figure out what has happened. The cops believe that a serial killer is at large, but much like the aforementioned Jaws, the powers that be want them to keep a lid on it after the media starts using the term "Blood Beach."Aftar another attack on a teenage girl, Captain Pearson (John Saxon, making every movie better just by his presense) begins digging up the beach to discover the killer.Meanwhile, Hoagy (no, not Michael Caine, but a co-worker of Henry) is closing the harbor patrol when a man attacks his girlfriend. She knocks the rapist to the ground and the creature castrates the man. And then the beach devours Marie, the French stewardess who lives with Henry, leaving only her hat and an eyeball.Oh yeah -- Harry and Catherine used to be lovers and now try to reconcile.Finally, someone survives an attack, a man who was using a metal detector on the beach. However, he's in shock and unable to explain what happened. And when Hoagy tries to warn Mrs. Selden, who has watched the murders throughout the film, he's pulled under while she simply looks on.Catherine decides to investigate the access tunnel to the beach where they found the survivor. She discovers the remains of every victim as Captain Pearson installs motion detectors, cameras and explosives all over the beach. Soon, a giant worm emerges and the cops blow it up real good.That said -- Dr. Dimitrios believes that because its a worm, it can regenerate. With small sinkholes showing up all over the beach, he just might be right.Blood Beach does what we expect from Jaws but inverts the danger. There's some fine character work by Burt Ward, Marianna Hill is as lovely as ever and there are plenty of monster attacks to keep everyone in suspense. It's not the finest in horror, but it'll do once a few beers have started to work themselves into your brain.

HumanoidOfFlesh Something or someone is attacking people one by one on the beach.Some of them are mutilated,but most of them are sucked into the sand, disappearing without a trace.What is the creature responsible?Where does it live and where did it come from?Is there any chance of it reproducing?Meanwhile David Huffman and Mariana Hill are once-almost-married old friends,reunited over the death of her mother on the beach and searching for clues in the abandoned buildings where they used to play when they were young."Blood Beach" is a cheesy monster movie with an octopus-like creature.The pace is glacial and some scenes are drawn-out to the point of being dull.The characters are flat and unpleasant.Still if you are a purveyor of trashy and cheesy 80's horror you can't miss "Blood Beach".6 out of 10.

Seb Blood Beach is a cheap movie with quite an original monster. This monster lives under the beach and sucks people into the sand which is quite scary, unfortunately there's very little monster action. You won't see much of the monster at all in fact, much less than for instance the boom mike or people sharing a candlelit meal which trust me you'll see plenty of.This isn't really horror, it's a romance with a couple of early deaths to keep your hopes up. There's also a drunk looking detective who spouts meaningless lines, often about Chicago and some totally random and not terribly good singing thrown in. My favourite character was the vet/doctor/coroner who puffs away on his unlit pipe and robs his lines of any meaning whatsoever with his glacier slow delivery.I wish this had been a movie about a sand monster as billed, that would have been quite fun but this film is just too slow and lacking in thrills to really be entertaining. It did leave me with one question though - is it wrong to date another woman the day after your girlfriend is eaten by a sand monster? Sure your friends will never mention her again and you'll show no signs of remembering her and your new romantic interest won't care but still..I think I'd leave it another day but maybe I'm just an old romantic.

shamasnazir78 this move is excellent as it build tension slowly and the at the end we witness a truly horrific creature. while watching this movie i enjoyed the fact that the creatures appearance is left to the imagination . when i did finally see the creature and its the best scene in the film as it roars and shrieks its disgust and anger at the humans who have found its resting place under the dark piers .the opening music score is very menacing as u hear the creatures shrieks in the back .As i watched it screaming at the humans watching it i felt very sad for the victims being chewed by this horrible creature , its screams sound like a thousand trucks screeching . this film reminds me of another film called q the winged serpent . again the police either don,t care or don,t pay attention to the huge creature flying around killing people .its a shame this classic film has not been released on d.v.d in the u.k , i for one would buy it
