Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFuture director--then head of publicity and marketing for New World Pictures-- Jim Wynorski is the one who came up with the title change and tagline, and did additional filming, in order for this to be known as "Screamers" in the US.
- GoofsThe drawing of David Bushnell's 1775 submarine "Turtle" on the wall of the Professor's room is hung upside down.
- Alternate versionsThe U.S. "Screamers" version featured not just a new opening, but several added shots and various audio adjustments throughout the film. These include several breathing sounds to give the film more of a sense of tension. It also abbreviated many scenes in the original Italian version or removed them all together. It also featured mostly new dubbing, with Claudio Cassinelli's voice replaced by an American voice actor (Cassinelli had dubbed himself in English in the original international release of the film, leaving his character with an Italian accent).
- ConnectionsEdited into La regina degli uomini pesce (1995)

I have a soft spot for the fishmen
Colourful if nonsensical tale set upon an uncharted island where Richard Johnson turns in a decent performance as a mad baddie searching for the lost gold of Atlantis and Barbara Bach doesn't do very much at all. The whole thing looks like much of it was made up as they went along with little bits of excitement every now and again to keep it going. There are some decent bits, I particularly like the home made diving bell contraption that lowers them down to peek at Atlantis and I have a soft spot for the fishmen themselves. Clearly copied from the 'Creature From The Black Lagoon', they are nevertheless pretty distinctive with their big fish eyes and facial colouring and especially effective when seen six or so at a time.
