I don't know, any description of octopi that leads with "horrific" and never mentions "intelligence" has a fundamental flaw. The viewpoint of these extraordinary creatures expressed here seems straight out of the 19th century, portraying them as bizarre monsters. The footage also seems confined to the seashore and aquarium tanks, and the wonky soundtrack is a complete miss. It's redeemed somewhat by the shots of the female octopus tending her strands of eggs and the babies popping out like popcorn, but keep your expectations low with this one. It's just too bad it didn't treat these creatures with the respect it should have.
