Ocean Beachin vedenalaisen tunnelin rakentamisen yhteydessä tapahtuneen virheen johdosta merenelävät ovat kasvaneet valtaviin mittoihin. Turistikauden avautuessa järjestetään perinteiset lasten purjehduskilpailut, jotka päättyvät kuten lasten mehuhetki - ikävästi. Vain kaksi erikoiskoulutuksen saanutta sukeltajaa voi estää koko Kalifornian muuttumisen vedenalaiseksi seisovaksi pöydäksi. (Atlantic Film Fin.)

Whereas Spielberg dares to kill a little boy in Jaws, Ovidio Assonitis swears and kills an infant outright in the opening scene. I guess that much tells you how self-aware a film Tentacles is. Ovidio must have had some pretty solid leverage on John Huston and Henry Fonda to get them into this Italian mess. Or was cash and whiskey enough? It's hard to say, but the sight of the papier-mâché monster slowly and impossibly lingering on the surface of the sea (to Stelvio Cipriani's comically repetitive score) will haunt my memory for a long time.

Tentacles is simply a product of film commerce, where the potential represented by a trend must be exploited at all costs. It just didn't work out here, and at times, you feel like you're watching something that's completely directorially mishandled. The long scenes at the docks certainly fail to evoke the calm before the storm, and it's really just boredom that doesn't seem to have much relevance to the film at all.
