Beast of the Bering Sea

When their father is killed by a swarm of vampiric sea creatures in the frozen expanse of the Bering Sea, siblings Donna and Joe Hunter refuse to leave the matter alone. They join forces with a marine biologist and her loyal deckhand to track the predators, piece together how they hunt, and try to stop them before more people die. The film follows escalating confrontations, the strain on relationships, and increasingly dangerous tactics as the team attempts to make the monsters extinct, with tension building on cramped boats and in icy waters. They argue over methods, wrestle with dwindling supplies, and confront moral questions about eradication, while the cold and isolation heighten every risk and old wounds.

Released in 2013, Beast of the Bering Sea was directed by Don E. FauntLeRoy and created by Brook Durham, starring Cassie Scerbo, Jonathan Lipnicki, Brandon Beemer, Kevin Dobson, and Jaqueline Fleming, shot on modest budgets and aimed at genre audiences.

The movie has a low audience score, averaging about 3.9 out of 10 from limited votes, and critics generally panned it for its effects and dialogue. Themes include family loyalty, survival at sea, and human attempts to control nature. Some viewers sometimes appreciate its B-movie creature work and campy tone.

It never reached mainstream prominence, but it turns up in discussions of modern B-movie creature features and is occasionally screened on late-night cable and streaming as an example of low-budget sci-fi horror, especially among fans of campy monster films. It also appears in genre chat and late-night creature film roundups.

It saw limited release and home video distribution rather than a wide theatrical run; no widely reported box office totals are available, and its audience has mainly come from TV, DVD, and streaming showings, and cable premieres and catalog rentals.
