Trivia:
One of the sound effects is a floppy disk drive access sound from an Apple Macintosh computer (not the Silicon Graphics computers). moreGoofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The tank into which Margo falls only contains hot water, used to loosen skin from a carcass. At the time she enters this tank, it is switched off and the water is cold. moreQuotes:
Martini: Never thought there'd be a worse way to die than a shark attack. Having my head ripped off never occurred to me. moreSoundtrack:

I love this movie. It has all the classic elements of a good B movie. The acting is fine and the monster excellent. It is sci fi meets horror in a timeless story line. Sorry there is no cheese for the blockbuster fans.
