Product: Stinger (Full Sub) (2007)
Rating: 3.0
GIANT RADIOACTIVE SCORPIONS
The film opens with some poorly done CG graphics of a submarine. These were not the worse CG graphics out there because they top it with their CG helicopter, mini sub, gun fire, and scorpions. The film has a high camp factor. If you are a fan of Asylum films for all the wrong reasons, this film is must see. The technical aspects of a navy nuclear sub are horribly wrong, far too many to detail. They could have at least had proper styled uniforms with appropriate insignias. And why does every movie scientist wear a white lab coat when they are never in a lab?The story line was bad too. Giant Radioactive Scorpions get loose on a nuclear sub and kill everyone (almost). A crew of Marines and civilians in a mini sub hook up with the disabled sub resting at 500 feet. Dr. Carly Ryan (Michelle Meadows) is the civilian in charge of the operation. She keeps the fact that there are deadly giant radioactive scorpions on board a secret as it is classified and they don't have a need to know. Ellie Winters (Daniella Kimber) is the other female in the crew because Michelle won't take her top off. Lazlo (Jordi Almeida) is the geek civilian who is played as being border line autistic. He manages to get the sub's ventilation system working by cutting random wires and beating the unit violently to a pulp with a hammer.The acting left much to be desired. The filler dialouge had excellent camp value. In fact I really hated for the plot to progress because the necessary plot dialouge was boring by comparison. There were a lot of dark scenes (as in lack of lighting) and plot continuity issues. At one point they decided not to bring back the deadly giant radioactive scorpions. The Navy doesn't want to salvage the sub, so what do they do? a) leave the hatch open when they leave and flood the boat. b) seal the sub and let the scorpions expire from an eventual lack of food and air. c) Decide to risk life and limb on a search and destroy mission in a submarine. The sound track was haphazard as they played foreboding ominous music at random times. The scorpions made noises that sounded like they lifted it from "The Predator" movie. Watch at your own risk.F-bomb, sex, nudity (Daniella Kimber)
