Humanoids From the Deep (1980)

*** (out of 4)

Outrageous sci-fi/horror film about half man/half salmon creatures coming on shore in a small town to kill all the dogs, children and men while mating with all the big breasted women. This here is one of the true treasures from the 1980's horror films and it remains one of the most entertaining "B" films from the genre. The film is a throwback to those sci-fi films of the 1950s with the big exception being that now we get graphic violence, rape, gore and tons of nudity. The story is outrageous but it makes for a great time. The performances are better than expected and the direction is good throughout.
