Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

MiketheWhistle OK, only watched because on Svengoolie and it was really really hard to get thru.At first it's like Jaws but sub in the barracuda and that would have been so-so.Won't give away any spoilers, but then it becomes a completely different movie genre.Only watch if you have a strong need to sleep.

Michael_Elliott Barracuda (1978) * (out of 4) Yet another rip-off of JAWS, this one here has a couple college students trying to test the waters of a beach community because a local plant owner has been dumping chemicals. Of course these chemicals turn the barracudas into man-eating monsters. BARRACUDA is one of the worst films from this genre that I've seen. Even some of the worst of the "when animals attack" genre at least keep you entertained but this sucker is pretty much bad from the start and it never gets any better. There are countless problems with this film but we can start with the screenplay, which is pretty much nothing but dialogue. I've never seen a film like this talk so much as it seems the characters want to talk about anything they can. This includes a silly love story that pops up between two of the characters and of course you get some "polution is evil" chat, which at times is rather funny. Even worse are the barracuda attacks because it really does seem that all the creatures are just stuff fished being moved around on people while someone else shoots out some blood. The effects are never believable and it's really too bad they didn't try doing something more original or at least keep you glued to what they might eventually look like. The performances are all pretty forgettable but there are a few nice supporting performances including Cliff Emmich (INVASION OF THE BEE GIRLS). This film really isn't worth watching for any reason. Sure, some of the underwater photography is nice but that's not enough of a reason to sit through the entire thing.

cmv32261 Here I go again explaining how poorly written the script of the movie is, Science Fiction should be based on either empirical or theoretical evidence. My father when he succumbed to the symptoms of Dementia on Christmas day 2010 at the age of 79 for quite a few years had Type 1 Onset Diabetes. Anyone who knows anything about Diabetes realizes that if blood sugar which is measured in milligrams per decilitres is too high or too low can go into seizures, but the symptoms of being too high or low starts with extreme fatigue. Anger, rage is that usually associated with hyperactivity and clueless as what to do with that energy. I speak from experience in that aspect I had ADHD as a child, which at 52 only leaves you with chaotic thoughts and not enough energy being your Andrenalin glands are dried up. My point being it is well known that when a person experiencing a Diabetic seizure from Hypoglycemia should be given something extremely high in sugar like a candy bar. As for those barracudas if they were experience the worst case of Hypoglycemia the only result would be they would die in a very short time. Major BS writing, do I doubt our government has and is still experimenting with ways to make the majority of U.S. citizens completely docile, kill and/or turn us into mindless zombies, no! I do not and should scare the crap out of everyone, can only hope those involved in the research have enough nobility to destroy or turn the mind control against the decadent tyrants that mismanage society. Yes, yes, I know major run on, do not care, tired and I do not have the energy to rephrase my comments into short complete sentences.

Chase_Witherspoon A top secret government experiment leads to fatal barracuda attacks on the beaches of a small coastal town formerly renowned for its lobster. University biologist (Crawford) and sheriff (William Kerwin) uncover a plot involving a mentally unstable former war-medic (Evers) pioneering research into hyperglycemia and the effect on human behaviour. Compelling on a small scale, with some effective shocks and special effects, "Barracuda" unfortunately spends too little time underwater with its title stars; in point of fact, the last third of the film plays out on land, focused firmly on the conspiracy theories and intrigue.Crawford is affable if unconvincing, and he rejoins regular co-stars the Kerwin brothers to write, produce and direct this b-grade thriller. Playboy bunny Leighton isn't the typical victim-based leading lady, and has her share of the spoils, while veteran tough guy Freed is largely wasted in an underdeveloped supporting role, with a retarded son whose character literally fades out without explanation after being prominent throughout the first half. Evers is the real asset to the acting ranks, portraying a distant, unbalanced patriot whose purpose and conviction is dangerously misguided, leading to his own personal tragedy.Crawford – who also undertook the underwater directing – does a capable job with the toothy critters, and it's just a shame that they are absent for most of the second half. The scene in which the beach walker's dog retrieves the severed head of a scuba diver is memorable, and there's the occasional dismembered limb amid a watery cloud of claret to satisfy the appetite for gore. Audiences accustomed to upbeat conclusions will be disappointed, although Cliff Emmich does manage some light relief as the lazy, obese and apparently narcoleptic deputy sheriff throughout the film. A potentially interesting idea, just a great pity more time wasn't dedicated to the barracuda themselves, who despite their rather innocuous reputation, still look fierce enough to substitute for sharks in this familiar role.
