Fairly forgettable, ultra-cheap monster movie. This is the type of movie where everybody -- the local fishermen, tourists, scientists -- all use the same tiny rowboat and are pretty much all attacked by the monster (who, it turns out, is guarding a treasure) and killed. The boat washes up on shore, and pretty soon the next person to come along will climb in the boat and blithely go out to watery death. Some amusing dialogue (by AIP ace Rusoff), plus its sheer unabashedness (it's a fairly straight-up horror flick) raise it above the norm for B-fare, but only slightly.
