Kingston raises several questions. However, none of them are borne out of intrigue or our interest in how the story unfolds. Most of the questions are directed at how the film chooses to take a perfectly good premise and convolutes it beyond any and all recognition. The film promises a ‘sea monster’ film and predictably, the monster was “the greed all along.” For a major portion of the film, we are teased ‘sea monsters’ and all we get are people in badly done horror makeup. Kingston forgoes any and all joys of the genre and focuses entirely on making itself look overly complicated.
