Something's happening at the once quiet coastal town of Solana Beach. Boats are being destroyed and people are going missing. Veteran newsman Ned Turner (John Huston, celebrated director of Escape to Victory and Annie) thinks it's connected with the construction of an undersea tunnel. Something has been disturbed, something that's out for blood but no-one realises just how dangerous it is: there are worse things in the sea than sharks... With a cast of Hollywood legends like Henry Fonda, Shelley Winters, Claude Akins and Bo Hopkins, Tentacles is a classic seventies monster movie, blending ecological ruminations with sudden shocks.
