Enjoyable, scary stuff!, 19 August 2000
Author: midge108 (adele.nixon2@tinyonline.co.uk) from Watford, Hertfordshire

I really enjoyed this movie. It has some really original special effects, i.e. "fish-woman". It has remained one of my favourites. The cast made up of mostly little known actors are all likeable, (even when being obnoxious) and the setting is not your usual sci-fi horror laboratory deal.

If you like a scare, I recommend it and if you do see it and like it you might want to try "From Beyond".
