Movie review - "Tentacles" (1977) **

 Amiable Jaws knock off has some stylish direction, phtotography and music as well as an enjoyable collection of Hollywood hams: Henry Fonda as a shonky businessman, John Huston as a newspaper editor, Shelley Winters as a mum.  None of these roles are big - the big part is Bo Hopkins as a killer whale trainer whose wife and sister in law are killed so he sets out to get the killer octopus with said whales.

Octopuses aren't that scary on flim but there's decent sequences.
