Instantly reminding me of a live action version of the 1970's mystery comedy cartoon series "Scooby Doo", I had this figured out within the first reel. A creature from the black lagoon style monster is terrorizing the teen hot spot, attacking young women and leaving their badly scarred corpses bleeding in the sand. Scientist Jon Hall and his son are trying to prove that this is some sort of mutation, having evidence of other sea creatures having grown to sizes unknown to science.
They are also dealing with Hall's nasty second wife and a houseguest who has outstayed their welcome. The creature itself is scary looking enough (no hot dog like teeth like "The Horror of Party Beach"), but the film is pretty much just bland rather than bad. I felt it had no real suspense once I figured out the possible twist, and it was a matter of maintaining patience to get to the end. Amateurish acting and poor technical aspects made it all the more tedious.
