Review: Sea Beast - Foywonder.com
March 17 2009
SEA BEAST. Wow. What a creative title. What's our movie about? A beast from the sea? Hmmm... What are we going to call it? WATER MONSTER? Nah. Not snazzy enough. How about SEA BEAST? Winner!
Would you believe that before SEA BEAST came to be known as SEA BEAST the original title was... TROGLODYTE? But aren't troglodytes primitive cavemen-like hominids that have more in common physically with Sasquatch than the Creature from the Black Lagoon? Words I'm fairly certain that have never before been used to describe a troglodyte: aquatic, reptilian, fishy, webbed-fingers, gill-breathing, egg-laying, amphibious. Now if they wanted to get cheeky like with MANSQUITO and title the film "FROGLODYTE", better believe I could have gotten behind that. Hell, title a movie FROGLODYTE and I'll give it a rave review just based on the title alone.
That at one time the title of a film about a deep sea fish monster was TROGLODYTE leads me to suspect that either there were radical changes made during the creative process or nobody involved initially had any comprehension of what a troglodyte is. The latter is entirely possible when you consider we are talking about a Sci-Fi Channel original movie; for them, science is merely the mouthful of chewing tobacco to be spat every two weeks into the visual chaw cup that is their Saturday night original movie time slot.
