Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
View MoreI am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
View Morean ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
View MoreGreat movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
View MoreFirst off, I checked spoilers but it doesn't take a whole lot of imagination to guess that this is your standard "crappy monster sci-fi watch for laughs only" movie and that it obeys every cliché of the "genre."That being said, the premise was clearly lifted from Jaws -- small town terrorized by monster(s) who live in the water. And just like Jaws, the sheriff realizes said body of water is not safe and wants to keep people out, much to the protest of the financially-concerned town official.But what Spielberg did right, this group did wrong. The plot is laughable. Some of the notable plot points:-HGH-infused mutant fish have decided to crawl onto land.-Teens try to save their town by shooting (yes, shooting) the fish.-There's more of course that I won't get into.The dialogue is bad. The blood and guts and gore (which are really the high point of the film) are also bad. The only redeeming quality of this film is the laugh-factor and even that is barely present.Unless you're a fan of cheesy sci-fi/monster flicks, avoid.
View MoreErr... Well... Frankly this flick is bad, even for a B movie. Not enough humor (intentional or not), a sad lack of imagination, terribly hollow characters and very uninspired acting. Not bad enough to be unintentionally funny, either.For the rest, you get what you could expect from an animal terror movie with low budget and an emphasis on quantity over quality.The only good moment was when a couple of teenage girls started wading in fish entrails using a combination of ax and shotgun while the male supporting character barely managed to avoid his genitals being turned into fish food.Had the survival of the fittest theory applied, the fish would have won. Maybe this was a political movie after all ?I found it sad to see Boxleitner spouting one uninspired line after the other with a slightly hesitant half smile. I'll go and re-watch a few Babylon 5 key episodes to wash away this disappointment.As for animal attack movies of the fishy kind, I recommend frankenfish instead.
View MoreThis movie is one of the most unintentionally funny movies I have ever seen. Flagrant use of poor CGI and muppets make the movie hysterical. Beyond that, the main characters are pitifully incompetent at anything. You wonder just how stupid they are. The characters continue to ignore obvious solutions to tight situations and escape certain death with ridiculous ploys.Don't get me wrong. I loved this movie. I was in hysterics throughout the entire thing. Mutant fish puppets attacking a bumbling populace is quite a sight to see. Midway through the film, a man is spied by our sheriff to be emptying a container of liquid into the lake. He looks through his binoculars, and sees that the words "HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE" are printed on the side of the container in friendly red letters. One could think that you could not possibly beat that moment of pure ludicrousness, but the movie easily surpasses it in an insanely funny climax.This movie is destined to be the cult classic of cult classics.
View MoreA small Maryland town,desperate to recover from hard economic times,is under threat when voracious Snakehead fish mutate and survive previous lake chemical poisonings.Thriving on the hormones,the Snakehead fish grow to monstrous proportions,devouring everything within reach.Capable of moving and eating on land,they are forced to leave the now barren lake in a desperate search for food animal,vegetable or human.Bruce Boxleitner(the town's Sheriff)and Carol Alt(the sexy scientist)team up to take on the snakeheads."Snakehead Terror" is mildly entertaining "Jaws" rip-off with snakehead fish instead of shark.The acting is suitably weak,but the gore effects are okay.The plot is totally clichéd and the computerized snakeheads look mediocre.Give it a look,if you need to see the perfect example of B-movie.
