September 21, 2000

During the Cuban missile crisis in 1962, a Russian submarine strays into American waters. On board is a nuclear cargo destined for Castro. The Americans attack and destroy the sub. 38 years later US submarine Roosevelt is in the same waters. An unknown object attacks and disables the sub with devastating force and drags the vessel to the bottom of the ocean. What lies on the ocean bed beggars belief: dozens of wrecks, among them the sub destroyed 38 years ago. Whatever was on board has fed a creature of unbelievable size and strength! The only way out is the emergency submersible and a passing cruise ship. Above or below the water, there is no escape from the monster mutant octopus with a nuclear diet...

In 1962, a Russian nuclear submarine sinks in the Atlantic Ocean. Year 2000: the CIA organizes a mission to transport a terrorist from Eastern Europe to the United States. The journey is carried out in secret with an American submarine, but in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, at the same coordinates where the Russian submarine sank many years earlier, an octopus of incredible dimensions emerges from the abyss and attacks the vessel. It's the beginning of a desperate struggle that American military will have to face to save themselves from the monstrous mutant. Another home video product labeled CVC, a distribution company that is specializing in B-movies. The reckless director mixes in a pot without head or tail various genres, including spy movies, action, science fiction, and horror (though in minimal part). Ridiculous plot, "sconcertanti" dialogues, barely shaky script (the "inventiva" idea of a giant octopus suffering from anemia, and for the need of iron attacks boats and submarines!) all seasoned with special effects that will make you miss the B-movies of science fiction from the fifties.
