The Bermuda Depths (1978)

Directed by Tom Kotani
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Warner Archive Collection)

Magnus returns to his childhood home of Bermuda to find out why his father died. While sleeping on the beach, a girl emerges from the ocean and strokes his face. He wakes up and thinks he sees her swimming away. Eventually they become friends and lovers, but nobody else has ever seen her. There is a local legend about "Jennie Haniver", and whoever sees her will soon die. Well, Magnus starts working for graduate student and marine biologist Carl Weathers. They go out on his boat trying to find proof of giant creatures that are responsible for disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle. They find a giant turtle straight from a Godzilla movie. Apparently the turtle is some kind of spawn of Satan, as is his girlfriend Jennie, at least that is what is implied by their glowing eyes.
