Some chick and the evil sensei from Karate Kid show up on a remote Greek island searching for the guy's sister, but all they find at first is some dumb blonde, a bunch of suspicious locals, and James Earl Jones with his shirt off. Eventually, they discover that the waters around the island are inhabited by a gigantic sea monster to which the townspeople occasionally sacrifice a virgin -- except that it ends up the sea monster is more man-sized than giant. Once again, I watch a terrible movie and still like it for some reason. I think the grainy picture quality, the crumbling locations, and a drunken James Earl Jones bellowing, "Bring me a melon!" combined with cheap "eerie music" well enough to hold my interest even though very little was happening beyond James Earl Jones drinking and sucking in his gut. Sadly, the main guy does not defeat the fish-wolf-man-monster by "sweeping the leg."
