If nothing else, this film had a great tagline referencing Jaws 2. It also has a pretty good ending. and a scene where a rapist has his tool bitten off. Unfortunately there's not much else to recommend it as cardboard characters go through their generic paces. Something is gobbling up people who stray on to the beach in a less glitzy part of L.A. and the local police are a bit baffled. They include Burt Young who seems to have wandered in from the sey=t of a completely different film and it's some time before you realise he's meant to provide comic relief. ( he doesn't).
