Movie review - "Up from the Depths" (1979) **

 Charles B. Griffith was one of my favourite screenwriters but wasn't really much chop as a director, to put it mildly. This is a Jaws knock off shot in the Philippines, standing in not very convincingly for Maui. There's killer fish and a lot of silliness - it's close in tone to The Creature from the Haunted Sea. There's a decent ish cast - Sam Bottoms is a leading man, Susanne Reed is lovely as the female lead. 

Roger Corman had some money in this.
