Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. Panoscosmic – ★★★☆☆
   “A thoroughly entertaining piece of schlock. The sea serpent puppet looks ridiculous, but that’s part of the charm.”

2. cinemarat – ★★☆☆☆
   “Low-budget monster mayhem that leans more into accidental comedy than terror. Ray Milland looks like he’s regretting every second.”

3. svenonius – ★★★☆☆
   “A charming relic of Spanish horror cinema. It’s slow, goofy, and poorly dubbed, but there’s heart beneath the rubbery monster suit.”

4. chrisfilo – ★★☆☆☆
   “Points for the earnestness. Even though it’s not very good, it’s the kind of bad movie that you can’t help but root for.”

5. strummer09 – ★★☆☆☆
   “Delightfully awful. The monster is absurd and the pacing is dreadful, but somehow it becomes endearing in its clumsiness.”

Meta Description:

A prehistoric creature rises from the depths in The Sea Serpent (1984), a cult horror adventure blending low-budget charm, rubbery monster effects, and classic creature-feature thrills.
