The next day, Krissy's older brother, Will Neepanak, stops to report her missing to Katrina “Kat” Tomas, the acting sheriff for Fells Island.

At the morgue, Gunner, Spider, and Jordy try to cover up the attack by saying Robbie was incoherent and by stealing Dan's pieces of the wrecked speedboat, intent on selling them.

Dan and Kat try to prohibit fishing temporarily while waiting on resources due to the deaths and possibility of a giant squid which angers much of the town.

That night, Gunner, Jordy, and Spider start prepping the boat to hunt the squid, refusing the help of Dan, Kat, Will, and his crew, Jack and Ryan.

Dan and Kat board the Freya, and Will and his crew follow in the Wiiskachaan, planning on netting the squid between the two boats to disorient it after it loses buoyancy.

While it attacks the ship, Kat, Jordy, and Spider fend off the tentacles, and Dan rigs some electrical wire to a harpoon while Gunner fixes the engine.

They finally get the engine running, and when the squid surfaces, they shoot the harpoon into its massive eye and turn on the boat's power, electrocuting it.

The review is mostly positive albeit short and largely criticizes the film's micro budget although says that despite this, it's a "surprisingly entertaining little monster movie that benefits substantially from some unexpectedly above-average performances".
