The small seaside town of Noyo, USA is terrorised by humanoid fish creatures with a thirst for blood and a lust for human women.
Gloop, nude ladies, blatantly obvious jump scares, rubber monster suits, wooden acting, a plot so thin you can see through it & 80s clothing galore: what more can you ask?
A wannabe drive-through film that harks back to the old 1950s creature features, "Humanoids from the Deep" is a thoroughly 80s attempt. And that's what makes it so damn entertaining!
It's hardly a nail biter, and winds up being more funny than scary with its splattering blood and 'monster noises'.
Not one for the dog lovers, though, with a high canine death count. Be warned!
Things of note:
One of the tunes played by the band at the festival sounds a lot like 'head, shoulders, knees and toes'...
A guy with a ventriloquist dummy as part of his chat-up line actually almost gets laid!
The monsters also seem to love boobs. Well, what self respecting salmon-monster doesn't?And the film's quota of naked ladies was certainly used to the full extent!
Something for when you're in a not-too-serious mood and you want to watch some slippery villains try to kill a bunch of fishermen and get as many blonde chicks naked as possible, with an ending that will make you snort cola out of your nose (or red wine in my case!).
