Synopsis

Up From the Depths along with many monster movies of the 1970s and 1980s is very similar to Jaws (1975). The staff and vacationers at a first-class resort on the island of Maui are beginning to mysteriously disappear. A biologist believes that an underwater earthquake has caused a giant and very hungry dormant prehistoric fish to be released from his slumber. Voraciously the fish helps himself to a tourist buffet. Now it's open season for the local fishermen to find the creature and kill it. (Wikipedia)
