Humanoids from the Deep (1996 TV Movie)

Blows away the original!

[10/10 · 14 February 2003]

After watching the 1980 schlock version, this picture looks like a masterpiece. The updated version has a terrific sense of humor about itself. The filmmaker gets the fact that man mating with fish is inherently silly and, while delivering some genuine scares, never forgets this. "Mimic" could have learned from this picture that humor in these horror flicks is essential. This film recently aired on the CBS late movie, which is how I saw it. I'm glad I did.

Move over Platoon!

Although the filming of this picture looks low budget, the story and characters are great. I really enjoyed trying to guess who the traitor in the group was. I rate this one in my top ten Corman pictures and believe me I've seen them all.

Bloodfist V: Human Target (1994 Video)

Best of the Bloodfists!

I watch most all of the Corman fare, and this film stands out. It's plot driven with great twists and turns. The last twenty minutes are top notch. This could easily have been a big studio picture. The characters have edge and attitude, and the female lead is strong from writing to performance. I definitely recommend buying this one.
