The premise

This menacing monster yarn stars James Van Der Beek as government scientist Dan Leland, who's sent to investigate reported sightings of a giant squidlike beast that's put the entire population of a fishing village on edge. Though Leland starts his journey confident that this sea creature with an insatiable appetite is the stuff of old legends, a string of horrific occurrences soon begins to change his mind.

Horror Vault's take

When a remote fishing village starts losing people to something lurking in the deep, a government marine biologist arrives armed with skepticism and data — neither of which proves entirely useful. James Van Der Beek leads this creature-feature as a scientist whose rational worldview collides hard with whatever ancient terror has made these waters its hunting ground. The tight-knit community's fear is palpable, and the mystery of what exactly stalks the lake builds with mounting dread. It's a lean, straightforward sea-monster thriller that delivers on its B-movie promise.
