Behemoth (2011 TV Movie)
3/10
Messy, Laughable and Lame Story
28 December 2012
In the small Ascension, the constructor Thomas Walsh (Ed Quinn) is working with his team at the Mount Lincoln. Out of the blue, there are tremors and the branch of the tree fall over Thomas' employee and breaks his leg. He brings his truck and finds the man dead. He brings the man to the town and finds that his sister Grace Walsh (Cindy Busby) plans to camp at the mountain with her sweetheart Jerrod Dietrich (James Kirk) while their lunatic father William Walsh (William B. Davis) defends the theory that an ancient being is near to be released on Earth and destruct the planet.

Meanwhile, the geologist Emily Allington (Pascale Hutton) returns to her hometown Ascension to investigate the tremors. The army representative Jack Murray (Ty Olsson) also comes to Ascension to search a mysterious wallet that was lost on the mountain. Soon the dwellers of Ascension discover the secret of the tremors.

"Behemoth" is a ridiculous low-budget movie with a messy and lame story about a creature that lives in a mountain. The subplot of Thomas and his former girlfriend Emily in the mountain is maybe the only one reasonable despite of the corny conclusion. The subplot of Jack is pathetic since if the army needed the wallet to destroy the monster, there should be at least a troop with helicopters and GPS seeking the wallet and not only one man. Further, the only weapon was probably a prototype since it was the unique means capable to defend the planet. The subplot of the stubborn Grace and her boyfriend is absolutely silly. But the worst is the subplot of Professor William Walsh is laughable. My vote is three.

Title (Brazil): "A Criatura da Montanha" ("The Creature of the Mountain")
