Yeah, this is still some crazy fun monster madness! Roger Corman and Barbara Peeters for the win, yo! Oh, and let's not forget Jimmy Murakami.
This feels like a mean-spirited update of a 50s monster flick, with slimy, rubber-suit fishmen that have a taste for the flesh of human females (and I don't mean to eat). Yeah, loads of girls gonna be havin' some unwanted fish-babies up in here. Hide your kids! Hide your wife!
And this thing has some real bite for something from 1980, with a child being killed almost immediately, multiple dogs being shredded, fishmen impregnating girls, and a lot more gore than was typical for the era. How something this gnarly came out the same year…
