Review of Humanoids from the Deep (1980) by Blais E — 07 Nov 2010
Some really nastily-randy, horn-dog mutant fish-men/distant black-sheep cousins of the "Creature from the Black Lagoon" (They really seem to go for the human female variety-!) get in the middle of a turf war between local fishermen and an Indian tribe in a small coastal New England town in this enjoyable and disturbingly-entertaining offering from Schlock-meister Roger Corman.
With some fun, overwrought perfs by the cast (Especially by chunky perennial lead Doug McClure, long, lean, and leggy Ann Turkel as the resident marine biologist, and John Landis murder-victim Vic Morrow, lots of gratuitous nudity and sleazy sex (Both of the human and marine-perv variety-), and some early decent effects by a then-young monster-making wunderkind Rob Bottin ("The Howling", "Twilight Zone:The Movie", "The Thing", etc.
..). Lots of depraved fun for the whole family!
