Binding: VHS Tape EAN: 9786304238141 Format: Color, Original recording reissued, NTSC ISBN: 6304238142 Label: New Concorde Manufacturer: New Concorde Number Of Items: 1 Publisher: New Concorde Release Date: August 28, 2001 Running Time: 80 minutes Studio: New Concorde Theatrical Release Date: 1980 Sales Rank: 13072 Related Items: Editorial Review: Amazon.com: The peculiar genius of schlock-king Roger Corman is in full bloom with this extremely gory, pointedly offensive homage to 1950s monster movies (with a generous helping of Alien thrown in for good measure), in which a legion of mutated salmon-men terrorize a small town in their search for unwilling female companionship. (Potential viewers should be warned that this movie goes to great lengths to show what earlier films in this genre had only implied.) A guilty pleasure for exploitation fans with a strong stomach and a twisted sense of humor. For what it's worth, director Barbara Peters has claimed that additional shock scenes were inserted by producer Corman without her knowledge. The glop-intensive special effects were devised by Rob Bottin, who later went on to gross out the masses with his work on Seven, Robocop, and John Carpenter's graphic remake of The Thing. --Andrew Wright Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A Little Something For EveryoneI'm conflicted. I, like many taxpayers, am insensed by the recent Federal bail out of Wall Street investment firms that were "too big to fail." But, I think GMO's are awesome and am sympathetic to the corporation's work to build a better salmon. Ultimately, relentless pursuit of the bottom line (and not genetic engineering itself) ruined a good thing when Canco's operations produced a race of amorous and bloodthirsty fish-men. It just goes to show you can't trust Corporate America ... Read More Rating:  - A tasty dollop of campy horrorOh, this was a funny time. Movies usually seen only on the nascent HBO. This film harkens back to the late 50s/early 60s b/w Corman classics, with what Frank Zappa aptly called "Cheepnis". My favorite momment was when one of the beasts encounters a bikini-clad gal on the beach, apparently he needed to pull her top off in order to get his amphibious rocks off. And he didn't even call her later. Rating:  - Wait, this looks familiar...Humanoids from the Deep (Barbara Peters, 1980) Perhaps the worst insult I can pay a film, from my own experience, is my not remembering I'd seen it before until I'm at least halfway through the movie. It's usually the oddest things that make me remember I've seen a film before. In this case, it was Anothony Pena's entirely innocuous "I've caught a bunch of steelhead I need help eating, wanna come?" line. From there, the deja vu came thick and fast. When the dock collapsed, I knew I'd ... Read More Rating:  - Water monsters horror!Saw this movie back in the 80's on cable. I don't know want's more great about the film, the gore, or the nudity. I have to say this is Roger Corman's best film ever. Worth to pick-up! Rating: - i agreei like this movie too but i'm not going to pay $45 for a used movie or pay $72.99 to as much as $169.99 for a new one those people are crazy with those prices i mean who's going to pay that much for a 80 min movie ? not me Browse for similar items by category:
