About This Movie

So, 'Oil Gobblers' from '88 is this fascinating little documentary that pulls you into the world of a zoologist and biochemist on some oilfield adventure. It’s not slick, you know? The pacing feels a bit slow in parts, but it has this raw, almost gritty vibe. The atmosphere is filled with tension as they hunt for these elusive creatures - the oil gobblers. The practical effects are modest, but there's something charming about their approach to depicting these creatures. The performances from the scientists have this earnestness, making you feel invested in their quest. It's distinctive, for sure, because it blurs the lines between science and exploration in a way that feels refreshingly unpolished.
