A rescue team awakens a monstrous underwater ogrot.

Bermuda Tentacles

Bermuda Tentacles, a made-for-TV science fiction comedy-horror film from the United States, was directed by Nick Lyon. It features Linda Hamilton alongside an ensemble cast that includes Trevor Donovan, Mýa, John Savage, and Jamie Kennedy. The movie first aired on the Syfy channel on April 12, 2014, and received largely unfavorable reviews.

In the plot, Air Force One crashes in the Bermuda Triangle, prompting the Navy to dispatch its top rescue team. A severe storm forces the president to evacuate in an escape pod, which sinks 7,000 meters (23,000 feet) beneath the ocean. Before the team can rescue him, they disturb a series of tentacles belonging to a monstrous underwater ogrot, which then threatens the entire Eastern Seaboard of North America—and eventually the world.

The cast includes Linda Hamilton as Admiral Hansen, Trevor Donovan as Trip Oliver, Mýa as Lieutenant Plummer, John Savage as President DeSteno, Jamie Kennedy as Dr. Zimmer, Richard Whiten as Lieutenant Commander Barclay, Ricco Ross as Captain Phillips, Jeff Rector as Captain Warren, Robert Blanche as Captain Dave Williams, Angelique Cinelu as Ensign Sanchez, Luke White as Stephen Hondo, Stephanie Cantu as Rivas, Yorick Veenma as Colonel Poppe De Boer, James Craig as Aunt Penelope, William McMahon as Fitz, Darren Anthony Thomas as Greg Elfman, and Craig Blair as C.P.O. Vincent.

The film was released on DVD on September 9, 2014. In a review for the website HorrorNews.Net, Shawn Handling gave it a strongly negative assessment, stating, "I think it’s one of the worst that has been produced and should have been sunk with the rest of those missing ships."
