Peter Benchley's Creature - Halloween Special

[@tmack11]

"I know I'm talking way more in depth about this film than you expected" That's...why I'm here

[@thatitguy9576]

Wtf you talking about? His reviews are almost always surface-level with almost no in-depth coverage.

[@thatitguy9576]

If you really want in-depth, watch Mauler or Fringy.

[@santos8468]

Yeah, that was a pretty good pun.

[@unrealdevon]

This is not a bad movie it's actually decent. And if you love creature effects, well then you cant hate it.

[@ghostofwar5430]

That creature scared the crap out of me as a kid. Looks really great even today....design and practical effects

[@djfanboyLIVE]

Whoa. A freaking BLAST FROM THE PAST. This miniseries scared the crap outta me as a kid. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOGGING MY MEMORY MAN!!!

[@santos8468]

I want more creature-feature reviews. I vote for The Relic. That whole coroner sequence is a perfect example of how to mix gore with exposition.

[@yelloweyesazazel9491]

I am still reading the book series that The Relic was based off of the Pendergast series

[@Colin_]

The Relic is a good shout out. Not seen that film for ages.

[@kaijuar2003]

The Relic is another great underrated film, I love it. Read parts of the novel by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, I instantly enjoyed it. First read it in highschool, I believe a year ago. I might get it from Amazon.

[@AustinTylerProductions]

I think this is my favorite “new” Chris Stuckmann review. He was critical of it while also being extremely kind to the film. I feel like lately he’s been avoiding being harsh on movies (I understand why) but I feel like he’s found the perfect balance with this one.

[@stevie1107]

Can you elaborate about why you feel / understand he’s been avoiding being harsh on movies? Just curious your thoughts 🙂

[@AustinTylerProductions]

@@stevie1107 he said a few videos back that he’s going to be directing a movie of his own and it’s not very professional to be trashing on movies others make while he makes his own movies. So it’s completely understandable. I just feel like this video was perfect in being critical, while also praising the movie for what it is.

[@ericspearman2998]

He was meaning he wasn’t going to go the Hilariocity route anymore where he did nothing but dump on the films. Or his F reviews where he would go on angry rants. He said that he came to recognize that even the “worst” movies had a lot of effort and even love poured into them. And every movie has fans. Even the ostensibly “bad” ones. I don’t think he said he couldn’t be critical sometimes. He just said he was not feeling it for going on angry tirades about how awful a certain movie was. Which is why he no longer does the grades.

[@wanghiskhan7345]

@@stevie1107 I don't think it's this user's thoughts, it's because of what Chris said regarding how he won't be doing harsh critiques anymore

[@doomguydemonkiller]

This was unexpected, I'd never thought Chris would review Creature. Creature is awesome and I read the book because of it.

[@jimmycevallos4468]

And Craig T Nelson voiced Mr Incredible in The Incredible, where he saved a cat as his introduction.

[@stainshield]

That is true and also his costar Samuel L. Jackson who would voice Frozone in Disney's The Incredibles was in another Shark Film Deep Blue Sea. But yes Craig T. Nelson not only Voiced Bob Parr AKA Mr. Incredible from Disney's Incredibles but he fought a Shark Monster in Creature, a corrupt cop in Turner & Hooch with Tom Hanks, fought Carl Weathers best known for Apollo Creed in The Rocky Films in the movie Action Jackson, worked with Lynda Carter in Wonder Woman, and he even worked with Tom Cruise. The Ending to Creature was very Dismal because as you saw Kim Cattrall's character was sad by the loss of Robin her pet Sea Lion to that monster, but Mr. Incredible destroyed The Shark Monster by causing it to explode just too bad he didn't break The Shark Monster like a Toothpick. I just wish that Robin had survived just like how The Dolphins in Jaws 3D survived and that The Ending to Creature wasn't Dismal but a little lighter like The Endings to The Jaws Movies and The Beast. That Shark Man was scary but not as scary as that Bigfoot from Abominable 2006, who do you think would win in a fight between The Shark Man from Creature and that Bigfoot from Abominable.

[@christaroberts1723]

I never watched Creature, but I was OBSESSED with The Beast. The book and the miniseries were why I became obsessed with giant squids, so much so that my first and only tattoo is a giant squid.

[@TheLukeMonster]

I ADORE the miniseries The Beast. The visual effects are outdated, but the story and characters hook me like nobody's business.

[@mabusestestament]

I've only seen The Beast miniseries somewhere in my late teen years and thought it was pretty lame. But yeah squids are fascinating and I can see how that can carry a movie/ miniseries that may not be good on other levels 🍻

[@Cookieboy70]

YES! The beast terrified me in the book and one of the reasons I developed a scare of sea monsters. My first and only tattoo is a great white shark, but a giant squid also terrfies just as much. The medusa level in Ecco the Dolphin game is ingrained in me as one of the scariest moments.

[@austintrousdale2397]

I liked the book but wasn’t enamored by the TV adaptation of Beast. Wish it could’ve gotten the cinematic treatment instead of TV.

[@paultrygstad4771]

i grew up in Grays Harbor, WA, and we were so sure the town of “Graves Harbor” in The Beast was based off where we lived. loved to get scared by that miniseries this as a kid. still can’t think about giant squids in any body of water without getting uncomfortable

[@willjones9651]

Chris you have no idea how long I've been looking for the title of this! Thank you!

[@connorvanwinter8577]

My favorite time of the year; Fall weather and beer, Halloween movies, and stuckmann halloween time. love it

[@BerserkerCade77]

Seeing Gus Fring howling like that scared me.

[@markfaulk8936]

[@flyingninja1234]

I forgot he was in this series.

[@adamstokoe1]

Walter: is that a pet shark? Gue: yes

[@terriblegamer6162]

Bro, I was like "is Chris uploading Halloween videos he didn't upload last year?". Completely gaped the fact that it's October and Halloween is coming. Year just feels like a massive blur to me.

[@minhacontaize]

Good to knowI I am not the only one.

[@Daniel145D]

It feels like august of 2020 to me. This is nuts

[@Amrylin1337]

You did WHAT!?

[@OddOneOut665]

I'm just waiting for him to bring up Halloween Kills and the Candyman Reboot. It'll be a seriously missed opportunity if he doesn't...

[@z-beeblebrox]

This entire year so far feels like the epilogue of 2020, except it's somehow just as long

[@ThatPurpleGirl81]

Up at 4am with stressed thoughts, this is perfect distraction thank you Chris! 😁

[@minhacontaize]

Hope u feel better

[@bbpoopdeck6631]

I’ll be praying for you hope u feel better 🙏

[@angiescott9692]

Please, stress and worry never solved a problem. I know its easier said then done. I hope you get feeling better 💕

Have a good day, sunrise brings a new day.. :)

[@badascan8910]

No matter what it is, cant be worse than what i went through in 42

[@ruveniyabakivou7616]

I've been looking for this movie for years now...thank you

[@BDreGaming]

The fact that Stan Winston designed the creature really makes me want to see this now. I absolutely loved his work on predator and wrong turn and the relic

[@ZarakiKenpachi9100]

OMG i loved Creature and The Beast as a kid. The Monster Stan Winston created was awesome

[@TacticsOfTorture]

I actually just watched this movie yesterday, for the first time since it premiered back in 98 and it’s still a great movie to me

[@klue1381]

I didn't know King Shark had his own movie

[@rRenzooo]

I used to watch vhs tapes with trailers for this. I never watched it and forgot it until watching this video. I can hear that VCR reeling now, thank you for that, Chris :’ -)

[@barbaraibarra6190]

A couple of years ago I had remembered this movie, it came in flashes of a shark being able to walk in some sort of sunken ship, I thought for a while it must have been a product of my imagination or a dream because I kept describing it to people and no one remembered it either. But thank goodness for the internet because one day after looking for it I finally found it. What a relief, I wasn’t going crazy after all, so glad that you also saw it and now are reviewing it.

[@LowellLucasJr.]

I'm glad to see this mini series covered! It was a great to see Stan Winston's crew were behind this fantastic monster that made me hyped watching each episode!!! Thanks for the review and sharing its on DVD! Gonna buy it!!!

[@ryanreilly22]

What an unexpected blast from the past. I, too, had it taped on VHS and was obsessed for like maybe 2-3 years. Great pull, Chris!

[@mrg3241]

Speaking of good candidates for remakes, I always thought The Last Starfighter would be a great choice. With arcade consoles having evolved into full blown massive online multiplayer sagas, it would be super easy to modernize the script. The special effects of are dated, but the story's appeal about an average gamer being recruited into a galactic peacekeeping force is as fresh as ever.

[@michaelcole2640]

I don’t know why, but it makes me so happy to know I wasn’t the only person obsessed with this movie back in the day.

[@gabi_bird]

This is why I love your reviews. Heck the IMDb scores, heck the general public opinion-- you find something good about almost everything and appreciate some angle, not just the film as a whole. Overall, films should be entertaining, but even when they aren't, you can appreciate the time and the craftsmanship of certain departments.

[@jeffphillips1832]

I feel like this movie would have done better if Stalone voiced the creature.

This mini series was awesome I haven't seen in years and now I'm sticking this on over the weekend. I used to watch this so much when I was younger

[@UnfetteredImagination11]

Duuuuuuude!! I saw this years ago, had fragmented memories of it, and have been trying to figure out what it was for such a long time! Thank you, Chris!

[@widgren87]

FINALLY someone tells me the name of this movie, it's been stuck in the back of my head for over 20 years... Thanks Chris. Also I have to agree that a remake of this in a 100 minutes timeframe would be awesome and I am not even a fan of horror movies :-)

[@mikekelly3814]

Thank you so much for bringing light to a movie that I hold so dearly to my heart

[@tyrantgregcagkaiju71]

Stan Winston and his amazing creative team NEVER disappoint me with their unique creature designs and effects 😁.

[@ZigzagMan51]

STUMBLED ACCROSS THIS ON CABLE ONE TIME BACK IN THE EARLY 2000s with my dad, we thought it was a werewolf movie at first but it was a badass shark creature movie wich was like heaven for me cuz I was so into shark movies at the time, i was actually thinking about this film earlier because of king shark from suicide squad but now here is Chris stuckman reviewing that same movie omfg!!!!!!!

[@justindonovan2132]

Thank you for covering this movie. My brothers and I definitely reference this movie occasionally and I have never talked with anybody else who have indicated watching it.

[@firewiz156]

I've been trying to find this movie for the longest time and i'm so thankful you talked about it. The Creature (the actual monster) scared the crap out of me and left a lasting impression. Thanks as always Chris!

[@kevintrjohnson]

If I remember right, this was the series based on the novel White Shark, which I read when it first came out in 1994.

[@Jommy9000]

Oh man I loved this movie/ mini series as a kid. Re-watched it around this time last year. It's on KZbin in like 12 parts I think

[@fozzgeorge]

Genuinely wouldn’t mind a channel where Chris just talks about Halloween stuff all year round, it’s part of my October tradition to binge your October reviews man 😄

[@xxkori123xx]

I totally forgot about this movie. I remember I was camping with my family and we had this old tv that was able to pick up like five channels where we were staying and this was playing on it. We were obsessed because it was the first time I'd seen a movie with these kind of effects and since we were camping at a lake, it scared the crap out of me. The idea of a shark, human, dolphin hybrid creature was so cool to me at the time but also a whole bag of nope. I haven't seen it since then but I'll have to rewatch it now.

[@EricMaloneyFilmmaker]

WOW you unlocked a part of my childhood I’ve forgotten about for years. I have to rewatch this movie again!!!

[@zacheryjohnson2176]

Dude! Its such a trip to see you cover this very rare tv movie! You should do gargantua at sone point too!

[@davyboy9397]

I was literally just thinking about this mini series the other day ! So glad it's getting a review! Scared me alot as a kid

[@jessieo9379]

I remember watching this movie so long ago at my grandmas house and I loved it. I'm glad you made this video because I would've never remembered the name of it.

[@killraven8783]

Thanks Chris, I was a fan of the beast as well. There were quite a few 90's mini series that strayed. Cut down they would have been a decent 90 minute movie watch. Late eighties and nineties television suffered greatly from editing issues. Scenes missing in movie edits was humorous as well. Great stuff and great channel.

[@bdavis24fan]

I actually watched both this and Beast when they were on tv. My dad loved these movies.

[@Shuua3AM]

Was so excited to see you reviewed this, I have fond memories of this movie ass a kid I need to rewatch it again

[@virus3794]

I've never heard about this movie before. And now I know what I'm gonna watch on this Halloween. Thanks a lot dude, I do like your videos and you're so great in that stuff.

[@miguelpreza2364]

Love halloween as a holiday and love these specials

[@Elfwingson]

Remember getting this at VHS back in the day. Got it all mixed up with ”the Beast” and I was really disappointed😂 Also, fun fact; the Creature makes several appearances in the PC-game ”Blood” as an enemy. Thanks for a great vid. Greetings from Sweden🇸🇪

[@Kurtsg10]

I remember when this one came out in 1998 when I was 12. My friends and I were Peter Benchley fans, so we all watched it when it came out. I watch a rerun of it on the Sci-Fi channel (before it was Syfy) but still it's been about 15 years or so. I should give that one a re-watch.

[@W0LF2612]

Crazy thing - saw this too as a kid, but I would have never found out what it's called or who directed it. Even the cast was lost in memory. Only thing I could remember all these years was the bipedal shark and that nostalgic feeling. Now you came around the corner with THIS. Thanks man, you never know what you gonna get from good ol' Stuckmann.

[@barbyonabike]

To avoid the advert, skip to 2:00

[@ChairmanKam]

So clad someone else remembers it. I still remember reading the novel and being so excited to see the miniseries be a thing.

[@nathanlarson9066]

I straight up thought this movie was a fever dream from my childhood until I read white shark in my teens.

[@bet0v966]

Thank you so much man, ain’t seen nobody else talk about this underrated gem. This was always my example of what King Shark should look as a kid

[@mondomacabromajor5731]

I watch this 'creature' feature every 6 months or so - it is a great mini series ....

[@michaelsutliff6817]

Speaking of the great Stan Winston, you should check out Pumpkinhead, which came out about 87',88' or so. He not only designed the creature, he directed it.

[@richardwarner2251]

Thank you thank you thank you!!!! This movie has such a special place in my heart. I wasn’t allowed to watch anything scary as a kid due to really terrible nightmares, but this was acceptable due to it being on TV and I’ve never stopped thinking about it. Can’t wait for a remake!

[@brucelau2023]

Been patiently waiting for more of these Halloween reviews my guy , good stuff as always chris

[@MasterOfMagnet2099]

Oh yes dude! I remember this. Glad you're reviewing. Do The Beast!

[@georgeheilman885]

What I liked in White Shark was that Benchley wrote from the Creature's POV, and that he was still a psychotic Nazi hellbent on proving his superiority, even when going back and forth between environments. Weird book, weird mini-series, but all so much fun.

[@aberrantcow]

THANK YOU. The last duel was incredible. Best Ridley Scott film in years. I can’t believe how little it’s made at the box office. It so sad.

[@williamtyson9829]

[@kellyrob4296]

[@eddiehjalmarsson5966]

This film has stayed in my mind since I saw it as a little boy. For a while I thought I imagined it then I rediscovered it as an adult. I still love the creature design.

[@ericwasserman5601]

For years I would tell people about this movie and people would look at me like I had 3 heads. Thank you for confirming the existence of this film

[@Mysterialic]

I love your take on remaking average films with great potential. That's the path every remake should be on.

[@PlushieBastet]

Chris you found it! I never could remember the name of this movie and, now, here is this gift! I remember watching this movie as a kid and The Creature both inspired respect and TERROR in pre-teen me the same way JP's velociraptors did; it's a smart predator that can and will outwit us. I agree with your idea for remaking so-and-so movies that had promise, it seems less likely to have as severe backlash as badly made remakes for the bigger blockbusters of yesteryear. Fingers crossed Hollywood hears you.

[@PlushieBastet]

[@tropistan7735]

Me and my entire class was absolutely obsessed with this movie. Boys, girls all of us at 12. I definitely recorded it during a replay. I need to re-watch it.

[@MrSpike8666]

Wow, Thank you for blast from the past moments, specially seeing the ad for it again. I was a lucky kid to have my own TV in my bedroom when this came out.

[@azaizer]

I actually came across this mini-series by accident looking for Shark movies to watch one night and was actually very pleasantly surprised by it.

[@Erasureeraser]

Petition for Chris to review Squid Game!!!! That series should be on his bucket list and I would love to hear him review it

Wait... People know about this thing that I saw as an early teen? We didn't record it but I was just as obsessed by seeing it once. It even made me read the book. (and back then I didn't read at all) It always stayed in my memory. After this video I feel a little less alone in the world :) Thank you Chris.

Just bought it and watched it after 24 years of stewing in my mind, such an awesome monster

[@BloodyFlowerFilms]

Wow, I nearly forgot about this film. I remember watching it all the time as a kid, a teen, and an adult. One of those under appreciated monster movies that I wish got more attention; like Pumpkinhead, The Relic, and even Tremors. But I don’t think this movie even has a cult following. So thanks Chris to bringing THE CREATURE some spot! I love practical effects monsters! (and Gus in one of his first roles I believe? Aka Giancarlo)

[@CarnageTrooperx]

Duuude. I watched this one time on cable as a kid but never knew the title and NEVER saw it again. It was thing elusive movie that captured my imagination since I was obsessed with Sharks. I was scared but fascinated at the same time. Thank you for making this, I finally know what was that creepy movie I saw that one night!

[@sean5558]

The book was really good and such a crazy backstory to the shark

[@ssatva]

See, where else would I have learned about this strangeness? I'm not sure I'm going to throw much effort at seeing it, but it's fascinating to know, the nostalgia is relatable, and the image of that fantastic creature is burned into my brain now... thanks for sharing, Chris!
