Hook, line and sinker: UP FROM THE DEPTHS (1979)

Just when I think I've watched every horror/sci-fi film about a lake and/or ocean borne monster, I encounter UP FROM THE DEPTHS, a 1979 film directed by Charles Griffith. I discovered this one while browsing Amazon (Prime) Video, my first "go to" alternative when I fail to find anything I want to watch on Netflix. In UP FROM THE DEPTHS(1979), a seaside Hawaiian resort comes under attack from an oversized and ravenous prehistoric fish. I didn't think much of the special effects but Susanne Reed was gorgeous in this movie and there's just enough action to keep me moderately interested while watching this movie. It's available for sale on both DVD and Blu Ray. A trailer:
