Two shark hunters flirt with an attractive British lady while hunting down a large tiger shark terrorizing the Mexican East coast. Little coastal town is being terrorized by deadly Barracudas. love it. Of course, the title "Barracuda" accompanied by a bloody drawing of a sharp-teethed fish devouring a human head attracts a lot more horror fans. The main reason why I often enjoy imitations and cheap rip-offs more than the original they're inspired by is because the people behind it are so much more shameless and extravagant with their ideas. BARRACUDA (aka: THE LUCIFER PROJECT) opens w/ a suspiciously familiar underwater sequence, complete w/ roving camera and generic musical score. How many swimmers must be shredded by these toothy terrors? Shame. It's also a time capsule of the post-Watergate emotions of 1978 while also taking huge bits out of the script for Jaws. Becoming more and more alienated from normal society, he develops an ability to communicate with sharks telepathically, setting out to destroy anybody who harms sharks. I still remember sneaking downstairs one June evening when I was about 12, watching the tail end of Johnny Carson and then managing quite by chance to catch BARRACUDA on The Late Show. Making it all the way to the end is like swimming through jello, while wearing a lead suit. Was this review helpful? Not just every possible species of sharks, but also piranhas, octopuses, whales and even barracudas. 0 out of 0 found this helpful. to probe the mystery, while nothing terribly interesting ever happens. Not even the barracuda attacks are that thrilling. Was this review helpful to you? Was this review helpful? Spielberg's landmark classic "Jaws" spawned a copious number of imitations and suddenly nearly every type of sea animal – whether genetically altered or not – at one point during the seventies got depicted as an unstoppable killing machine. Too bad the balance of the movie isn't that effective. The final installment of the long-running Phantasm series. 11 out of 12 found this helpful. The luscious Leighton is easy to watch, but what's going to stupefy the audience is seeing her throw herself at the not particularly attractive Crawford and seeing him show little interest! Was this review helpful? The middle-section is intolerably boring, mainly because you're completely unprepared for the switch towards a slow and talkative film, and "Barracuda" eventually ends as a full-blooded political conspiracy thriller. Oh no!

They'll think this is another of the various knock-offs that proliferated after "Jaws" became a sensation. 4 out of 13 found this helpful. The ferocious fish themselves take a surprising backseat plot-wise, the real focus of the movie is some claptrap about a government conspiracy. Viewers may still be able to appreciate the last second twist ending, which concludes the story on a very downbeat note. Was this review helpful? how bad could any movie be, where the heroes are blown away, IN SLOW MOTION, by the evil empire of sludge lords? Despite all that, the forbidding music helps to elevate the occasional suspense.


On the plus side, Wayne Crawford as a crusading biologist and Wiliam Kerwin as the folksy sheriff make for personable heroes, the underwater photography is sharp and impressive, the overall brooding tone astutely captures a distinctly 70's post-Watergate sense of vehemently anti-government distrust and cynicism, and Klaus Schulze's moody'n'energetic score hits the quivery ooga-booga spot something sweet. This plot involves a chemical company dumping its waste into the ocean, affecting the marine life, but there's more going on than that. People enter into his strange world to exploit his weird passion, and he uses the animals to gain revenge on ... 3 out of 3 found this helpful. BARRACUDA (1978) "A top secret government experiment leads to fatal barracuda attacks on the beaches of a small coastal town." After they are saved, their victim seeks revenge on them one by one. There's something fishy – pun intended – going on in a little coastal town. As it is, this flick ain't half bad, but it could (and should) have been ever better. I bought this movie because I really thought it would be terrible. Was this review helpful? Underwhelming thriller is really not what the viewer thinks it's going to be.

Given the premise (a small coastal community beset by ferocious flesh-eating barracuda in the ocean), one would easily assume that this is yet another run-of-the-mill opportunistic "Jaws" cash-in. Its not a movie for killer fish, its a regular interesting movie with a nice story Barracuda is a 1977 American horror/thriller film about a small Florida coastal town that is menaced by chemically induced and highly aggressive barracuda fish. My guess is this: someone penned a land-based thriller entitled "The Lucifer Project" (which is the movies' subtitle) that was about a government conspiracy to control the populace through blood sugar manipulation. The filming under water, with the barracudas waving their tails while eating the limbs of people is laughing.

There's not much life in the small seaside town, despite a chemical plant and a hotel right on the beach where people go scuba diving. This all has something to do w/ the ornery fish and their cantankerous mood. Alas, as JAWS clones go, BARRACUDA is extremely tedious to watch! Use the HTML below.
