A goofy, gory beach thriller that mixes laughs with tension as characters battle a silly monster.

Overview: After an all-night graduation beach party, a group of hung-over students wakes up under the blazing sun to find their numbers somewhat depleted. An enormous alien creature has burrowed down deep and anyone foolish enough to make contact with the sand finds themselves at the mercy of a sea of flesh-eating tentacles. Will they ever be able to escape its carnivorous clutches?
How it feels: Campy, tense, absurd and dark. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Survival, isolation, betrayal, friendship
Content: Strong violence, gore and language. Mild sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
