Too much of everything

One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

A small town is attacked by the humanoids of the deep after experiments go wrong. The humanoids want to mate with the town's young women. They go round killing and attacking everyone, no one is safe.I thought this movie was fun. The cast is great and the acting isn't bad for a 1980 sci-fi flick. The humanoids looked fab, especially their bulbous brains! The plot is also good. The characters could have done with a little more development but all-in-all a watchable and fairly enjoyable sci-fi horror.

They were killing dogs in this movie, and tore out their internal organs, there are no animal abuse disclaimers in the credits.--How in the Hell could these actors agree to be in this movie, some people just don't care about what happens as long as they are making a buck. I guess i'm the only one who ever saw this who cared enough to bring attention to it.--Lets get this rating down on the movie folks,

Wow! Every once in a while a B-movie comes along which makes you sit up in your seat and take note, and this cheesy, low-budget monster movie is such a film. From the production company of legendary exploitation king Roger Corman, this is an exciting, sometimes funny monster rampage romp with plenty of gratuitous violence and nudity to keep things moving swiftly along. What more can you ask for? We'll, there's plenty more. For a start, the cast is populated by B-movie stalwarts, including wooden hero Doug McClure. This was sadly McClure's last venture into the creature features (after he'd spent years in Britain fighting papier-mache creations in the likes of THE LAND THAT TIME FORGOT), but he goes out with a bang, shooting up and fighting loads of the abominable fish-men. He's supported by plenty of actresses who find themselves in peril, including a surprisingly resourceful Ann Turkel and Cindy Weintraub. Vic Morrow also hams it up as an unbelievably stupid cannery employee.The template of this film is typical of any monster movie; first off, we have isolated sporadic attacks, then an investigation, and finally an all out rampage with hundreds of people running and screaming from the beasts until they're finally defeated. This makes the film feel like an updated CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON, and indeed it is: without the gore and nudity, this would fit in happily with the other monster larks of the 1950s. The first two thirds of the film show us these isolated attacks with glee. Almost every attack has a half-naked woman running away from these monsters, it's surprising how these women are so unlucky in getting their clothes ripped off! Corman cleverly decided to keep his monsters under wraps until the final third, but they don't disappoint when we finally do see them...in fact, they're excellent! This doesn't come as much of a surprise actually when you consider that Rob Bottin, who also created THE THING, was responsible for them. The seaweed-covered, slimy-looking monsters are absolutely excellent, and it's great how there's loads of them instead of the usual one or two.Obviously the best parts of the movie are the bits where the monsters are attacking people. The best scene for me is where they burst up from underneath a pier. They also get to die messily, with blood squirting everywhere. As this was a year after ALIEN, no film would be complete without a monster bursting from a woman's chest, and this is no exception! Thankfully the rape scenes are only shown briefly. This film doesn't skimp on the violence, either, and there's plenty of gooey gore flying about. The monsters bleed red blood for a change, and frequently get the opportunity to do so! People have half their faces ripped off, are crushed, snapped, have their chests torn open, blood splashing everywhere. The fun spirit of this film shines through at all times, making it a classic example of a monster movie which seems strangely old-fashioned despite all of the extremes. Definitely worth tracking down, as this is quite difficult to find these days.

Roger Corman is known for his hit films. In "Humanoids From The Deep", you want to reel it in. It's a small fishing town called Noyo, it's known for its salmon, it has started to build a cannery there. Unfortunately, it has also reeled in some trouble along the way. Not only did they draw ire from the Native Americans, a new species of beings has spawned from the waters. And heat did they do? They kill the young men, and they started to rape the women to breed their young. So what now? These creatures must be stopped. With a cast like this, no wonder this movie was good. It's like "The Creature From The Black Lagoon", only hornier. These fish creatures have more of a sex appetite for women, than a normal appetite for food. Doug McClure did a spectacular job there. Ann Turkel showed a lot of guts and smarts in the film. This horror gem is a real keeper, and it should be remembered well for years to come. And by all means, avoid the remake! So bring the popcorn and the fishing gears, don't release this movie in the waters. 5 stars!
