Years ago (late 80’s to early 90’s), we watched a movie in which a seaside town is terrorized by a sea-monster which turns out to be a giant turtle. At the very end of the movie, the turtle sinks into the ocean and we see its shell with the initials (with the typical ‘+’ and heart, I think) that the boy and girl carved onto it when they were young.
I tried Googling it, but the only thing I could find were some news articles about a real-life incident (from May 2012) where a turtle is found 47 years after a boy carved his initials in its shell. Obviously the movie predates the real-life incident (strange that I thought of the movie only a few weeks after the news broke).
Does anyone know what the movie was?
Answer
Could it be this movie?
The Bermuda Depths. The plot element on the page looks a more closer match.
Magnus dreams of his childhood, playing on the same beach. He finds a
turtle egg in the sand, and calls to his friend Jennie to have a look.
As they watch, the egg hatches. A few years later, Magnus and Jennie
play with the rather large turtle. Magnus takes a shell and carves
"J+M" inside a heart on the turtle's shell, while Jennie finishes
making a coral necklace, which she places around Magnus's neck.
