Synopsis
This gory, scary low-budget shocker from the
Roger Corman
stable concerns the battle over a salmon cannery in a Pacific Northwest town. Genetically treated salmon escape the plant and are eaten by coelacanths, who mutate into humanoid monsters with giant craniums and sharp claws. The creatures begin attacking teen couples, killing the boys and mating with the girls (in some pretty graphic monster-rape scenes). Eventually, a bunch of them create total pandemonium at the annual salmon festival.
Barbara Peeters
directs with flair, Rob Bottin's effects are nauseatingly effective, and the cast is good, especially
Vic Morrow
as a racist fisherman and
Doug McClure
as the stalwart hero. An uncompromising shockfest with enough gratuitous blood and nudity to keep fans happy, the film features an
Alien
-inspired shock ending which still makes viewers jump today. ~ Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide
