Octaman (1971)
aka
Oktaman - Die Bestie aus der Tiefe
Written and directed by Harry Essex who wrote the screen play for "Creature from the Black Lagoon" (1954), "It Came from Outer Space" (1953) with the Octaman costume by Rick Baker.
"Octaman" is the Holy Grail of grade-Z monster movie trash. There's the Octaman, an aquatic creature out of Oscar winner Rick Baker's closet walking about and waving his monstrous tentacles... You see,Octaman kills many dumb people by slapping his victims to death in combination with some hideous psychic power that forces you to wrap its rubbery tentacles about yourself and beat yourself with them. I don't care about the plot,because I watched this amusing piece of cow dung for Octaman. Repeat... Octaman! The utterly bizarre lust of an icthyoid creature for a female mammal reminded me "The Creature from the Black Lagoon" written by "Octaman" director Harry Essex. The lighting is awful,the acting is as bad as it gets and the script is trashy,but Octaman steals the show. (IMDB HumanoidOfFlesh)
