CHEESEFEST! I still watch this movie for cheap laughs.
Watch out, “Manos”! Step back, “Troll 2″: here comes a ‘new’ contender for the worst movie of all time: “Octaman”, an awfully bad piece of trash, so incredibly shoddy, cheesy and silly, it’s hilarious.
Filled with incredibly untalented below-average actors, filled with absolutely horrible and tedious dialogue, filled with loads of unbelievably boring and totally uninteresting scenes. The poor soundtrack is a complete joke and the special effects are outstandingly lousy (when I first saw the god-awful baby octopus, I really didn’t know if I should laugh or cry).
Worst of all is of course the Octaman himself: a hyperactive actor in a cheap-made and super-ugly rubber costume with a blow-up-doll-like mouth and the most unrealistic tentacles I have ever seen.
Recommended only to people who survived the experience of watching “Manos” or similar crap
