AMPHIBIOUS is a cheap and cheerful creature feature from the once-great Brian Yuzna, who has since wasted his once considerable talents by making generic genre fare in Spain. This one's an unholy concoction, a collaboration between the UK, Indonesia and Holland, shot cheaply on a fishing platform in the middle of the sea. There a bunch of generic characters find themselves crossing with a giant sea monster which turns out to be a CGI scorpion at the climax. This was originally a 3D movie, so nearly all of the deaths feature victims being impaled from behind. The digital effects are generally poor but the acting is even worse, with Janna Fassaert in particular failing to convince. Only the reliable Francis Magee lifts the spirits, but he's not in it enough to make a difference.
