276. Humanoids From The Deep (aka The Monster) (1980)

June 19, 2014

In this Roger Corman produced classic, genetic experiments involving salmon treated with a growth hormone have gone awry creating human sized fish monsters with a knack for terrorizing the good people of California. Not only are they savage killing machines, they are also incessantly horny and have an insatiable appetite for sex with human women. So they go around raping and pillaging and some people try to stop them. 'Humanoids From The Deep' was loads of fun and I would highly recommend it. Despite the film's undeniably misogynistic creatures (for what it's worth, it was directed by a woman, Barbara Peeters) and a shoestring budget at best, the film was fun and had some great special effects. If you haven't seen it, go pick up a copy - it is on DVD from Shout! Factory as part of their Roger Corman's Cult Classics line, and it is worth every penny you pay for it.
