Viewing Notes
Such a bizarre film. So many plot points I’m wondering if some had been trimmed that maybe this could have been a stronger movie. It spends so much time on the cruise ship conflict before getting to the wild fantasy stuff. It’s like two separate films. Still an intriguing watch even with some silly special effects. Gotta love those monsters!
