Oakland in Kalifornien im Jahr 1978. Eine junge Familie erbt unverhofft ein malerisch am Meer gelegenes Cottage. Das vermeintliche Paradies wird jedoch schnell zum Albtraum für Jules (Luciane Buchanan), Ben (Matt Whelan) und ihre Tochter. Nachts geschehen merkwürdige Dinge und der riesige Wassertank neben dem Haus birgt ein altes Familiengeheimnis. Ein blutgieriges Monster treibt darin sein Unwesen... (SquareOne Entertainment)

An average but inoffensive monster genre film from New Zealand. A family inherits an abandoned coastal property, but unknowingly awakens an ancient monster that terrorized the inhabitants for centuries. It's a little slow to get going (nothing really interesting happens for the first 40 minutes), but with the arrival of the monster on the scene it's fine. The practical effects are very nice, with the people who created the orcs in Lord of the Rings working on the monster, so it looks good. But there's just a lack of characters that it could possibly eat (when one does appear (the sheriff) we still don't get to see the gore). Rather, it relies on suspense and atmosphere, something that worked back in the 90s, but nowadays doesn't impress anyone. I appreciate the effort at least. 5.5/10.
