The only good thing I have to say about this movie is the effects and CGI (assuming) of the monster frog-fish in question. Everything else was absolutely horrible and I would not recommend this one to anyone.

First, watching that man pour formaldehyde down the drain really made me cringe. You don’t do that, if he didn’t then the movie would have been over right then and there and I would have to be tortured by it.

Second, I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but I WISH it would have had subtitles. The dubbed over voices was just weird, the voices used did not match the faces to the character and I couldn’t believe it when I saw it! It really bothered me for the entirety of the movie.

Third, the story just wasn’t great. There was too much chaos the entire time, I really can’t believe this movie is dubbed some kind of film world phenomenon or something in 2006 when it came out. Maybe it’s better in its native language?  

I give it a “hated it.” Don’t watch this one. (1/5)
