semi-annual "name that movie" dilema

...but there CAN'T be that many "evil oil rig" films out here. Can there....?

No you wouldn't think so, especially not in that time frame, but who knows?

Hmmmm....

I don't know if "The Intruder Within" is the film. It fits the criteria, but I remember the woman being the monster, and them finding her at sea. Don't remember the eggs. It COULD be the same, but I can't find a really good description of this film.

I took the liberty of posting about this thread over at the UMA. It's possible someone there might have a better idea of what the title of this film is.

>Proteus?

Nope, but that's pretty close. This one was from the very early 80's. (Similar enough it might have been "inspired" by the film I'm thinking of.) I don't remember anybody who was in it, and it might have been one of them "movie of the week" deals.

The last scene has the hero and his bud hanging on to the rapidly sinking ruins of the oil rig, and it's raining really hard. The girl shows up and the sidekick goes off 'cos he'd suspected her of being evil right from the start. There's a bit of talking, she smiles and transforms, eats buddy and leaves. The Proteus scene is very similar, but in the one I'm thinking of the hero is already in the water at this point, and the transformation is ony a second or two.

>Cool, a were-turtle. This I gotta see.

I can't attest to how cool it was, since I haven't seen it for 28 years. I remember it was early 80's 'cos it would have come out just after "Empire Strikes Back."

So....

There's amovie that I've been looking for, but don't know the name of; and every so often I bring it up hoping someone's seen it. It's not "The Bermuda Depths," but it DOES feature a weird girl/ghost/giant turtle plot. This one takes place on an oil drilling rig, where the crew finds a woman floating in the sea. They take her on board and she turns out to be a weird turtle/lycanthrope sort of thing. The scene I remember best is at the end: the rig is wrecked, and there are two characters left, the hero and his sidekick. She transforms and eats the sidekick, and I remember the transitional phase of the transformation. For a second they show her with heavy Aztec/Egyptian looking makeup and weird eyes.

Anyone seen this one?
