If you’ve never seen OCTAMAN, well, you’re really missing out. (Listen to our review of it on the May 9th edition of the AITH Podcast!) Just look at that cover and you’ll reconcile with the fact that you’ve wasted your life not having this movie in your consciousness. I don’t believe it’s available on DVD at the moment, but that’s going to change this Halloween, as Bayview Entertainment is letting the OCTAMAN out of his cage on OCTOBER 23rd in a newly-remastered from 35mm widescreen edition.
Here’s the brilliant synopsis: A scientific expedition to a remote fishing village discovers high levels of radiation as well as a strange mutant-like small octopus that walks on land and has bizarre human-like eyes. The leader of the expedition teams up with a circus owner who wants to exploit the weird creature but trouble ensues when the two men discover their crew has been slaughtered and the mutant is missing. Tales from the villagers come to light describing the local legend of a half-man, half-sea serpent, but what the expedition finds is an astounding seven-foot-tall walking octopus that has a lust for human blood!
The DVD features original trailers, a video interview, and Retromedia Drive-In wrap-around.
And that’s not all! The DVD also includes a bonus feature film – THE CREMATORS – Harry Essex’s epic about a giant ball of fire that rolls right over people – burning them to a hideous crisp! I haven’t even heard of that sonofabitch before today, but I’m sold!
