It turns out that there are films about octopuses in the world. What is interesting in the picture with these creatures from the depths of the water in the title role? Of course, many works do not receive adequate funding and do not attract the viewer who is used to special effects. However, if you really want to, you can find films about octopuses that will surprise even the most sophisticated viewers. In this article, we will consider several paintings about underwater inhabitants.
"Monster of the Depths"
Few films about octopuses, the list of which is quite extensive, boasts good funding. As a rule, such work is very cheap and uninteresting. "Monster of the Depths" - a film about a giant octopus, shot by Tibor Takach, was released in 2006. The budget amounted to 2.1 million dollars.
The action of the picture revolves around a group of divers who search for jewelry. They find a great place in which a lot of ships sank. According to one legend, the ships were attacked by some monster and drowned. Of course, none of the guys believes in this, feeling a quick enrichment. What then pulls huge ships to the seabed ? Friends will soon find out by revealing the secret of the "sea devil."
Films about octopuses (horrors), which were released before the "Monster of the Depths", can envy good special effects and a fascinating plot. The audience warmly received the tape, closing their eyes to a lot of shortcomings.
"Tentacles-2"
Many films about octopuses borrowed the idea from the first part of "Tentacles". Director Yossi Wayne managed to assemble a good cast and shot a solid horror movie. On the screens, he appeared back in 2001.
Independence Day is one of the most significant holidays in the United States of America. A significant date is approaching, and New Yorkers are going to celebrate it on a grand scale.

Locals are concerned about what is happening. To deal with the problem, Nick Harfield is taken - the chief of the coastal police. A modest girl working in the city hall decided to help him. She believes that a giant octopus has settled at the bottom of the bays. Only a few want to support the guesses of the heroes, so they have to independently prevent the disaster.
The film about the giant killer octopus was shot in the best traditions of American horror films. A simple plot, good special effects, silly behavior of heroes and a monster. Many octopus films have a similar scenario, but Tentacles are among the first in this genre.
"The cunning octopus"
"The cunning octopus" is a documentary about octopuses, which was released on television in 2005. As you might guess, the work tells about the life of these mysterious underwater creatures.

The picture will show that the octopuses are not so scary as they seem at first glance. Despite their huge size, they are quite affectionate. Octopuses with special zeal take care of their offspring and are able to learn.
"Tentacles"
The first part of a movie about octopus killers. It is worth noting that the filming was directed by John Aires, and several Russian actors were included in the crew. The film about the killer octopus was released in 2000. The budget amounted to 5 million dollars, which is pretty good for such a project.
The waters of the Atlantic Ocean hide many mysteries. In one place in 1962, the Russian nuclear submarine disappeared without a trace. Nobody could figure out the disappearance. After a while, another submarine swims in this very place, which the same one is waiting to take into account. An unknown creature attacks a huge ship and pulls it to the bottom. The crew managed to find out that a huge octopus attacked them. The monster is hungry, so he left the depths in search of food. Everyone on the boat understands that death is inevitable.
“Tentacles” turned out to be very good both in terms of the plot, and from the side of special effects. The film was enjoyed by many fans of underwater monsters. Film critics were not disappointed, having appreciated the work of a little-known director.
Octopus Man
The film was released back in 1971. Created by the United States and Mexico. The screenwriter, director and producer is Harry Essex. It’s worth saying right away that not everyone will like the picture.

The problem is being studied by Dr. Torres. Soon he finds a mutated octopus in a local pond. The doctor takes it for study to the laboratory.
