Title: First Carnosaur, now this. H.A.Knight must be annoyed.
Product review: This is the adaptation of a Harry Adam Knight novel called 'Slimer'. The book is a superbly tense and gripping tale. That's why I found the film no more than yet another disgustingly wasted licence.The plot involves a group of shipwrecked people who come across a seemingly deserted oil-rig. They soon meet up with a scientist and find the rig was once used as a genetic research base and that their most unpleasant creation is stll around.Only very loosely tied to the plot of the book. The characters are boring and cliched and the monster looks like a cut-price Jaws on legs. Even the appearance of Doug Bradley (Pinhead in Hellraiser) can't help save this mess.
