Directed by Roger Corman and written by Charles B. Griffith and knowing those two was likely written over lunch break. This ineffective dud shows that the Cuban treasury is in the hands of vile gangster Renzo. Capetto (Antony Carbone). He is to transport General Tostada (Edmundo Rivera Alvarez) along with this treasury so that a counterrevolution can start. While out at sea he plans to kill the Cuban soldiers one by one and blame it on the infamous sea creature and take the loot. Little to his knowledge the sea creature is in fact real. Has a reputation as a bad horror comedy and I would say it deserves that claim. The effects are brutal as the sea creature looks like a man draped in seaweed and flippers. Also starring Robert Towne before he staked his claim writing excellent screenplays like CHINATOWN. Here he is under the name Edward Wain and plays Agent XK150 who has infiltrated the gang and tries to stop Carbone. I mean n he is no Robin Williams, but he can kind of play comedy a bit. In the end though I would totally stay away from this one.
