With deaths and quakes occurring around Mount Lincoln, it is eventually discovered that beneath the mountain lurks… Behemoth!
This movie was the 23rd film in the ‘Maneater Series’ (this was the brand name, logo and look given to a series of made-for-television horror films produced by RHI Entertainment, distributed by Vivendi Entertainment). Other movies that were part of the Maneater Series included GRIZZLY RAGE (2007), MALIBU SHARK ATTACK (2009) and WYVERN (2009).
BEHEMOTH, which stars Ed Quinn, Pascale Hutton and William Bruce Davis, was premiered on January 15th 2011 on the SyFy Channel, so I guess it’s not a surprise that the acting, production values, script and special effects for this TV movie are not of the highest standard.
I’ll be honest: I didn’t focus too much on the storyline & acting, but I did quite like the Behemoth critter itself, once it rises from the ground. The CGI ain’t anything to write home about and during the finale the Behemoth basically just flaps its tentacles around a bit on top of the mountain, before beefy Bradley Cooper lookalike Ed Quinn blows it up (quite easily) with a rocket launcher, but the big, goofy, novel-looking beast is a fun creation. So here are some shots of the Behemoth to enjoy…
At one point the Behemoth’s head pokes from the ground and gobbles up a character when he falls from the cliff he’s clinging to…
Here are a bunch of pics of the Behemoth once it finally bursts from the summit of the mountain…
Finally, some DVD and VCD covers…
