Summary: Favorite Drive In Memory
Review: I'll never forget this: 1980, a drive-in theatre in West Virginia, partying in a Chevy Impala. Nobody paying too much attention to the rubber monster movie on the screen. Then someone says, "Hey, that monster's (having sex) with that girl up there." Nobody said another word and we watched the rest of the movie. After JAWS ('75), there was a deluge of drive-in B-movies set on or next to water. ALIEN was another huge hit in '79 so then came all the cheap sci-fi knock-offs. HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP combined/ripped-off both JAWS and ALIEN: you had the seaside setting as well as the slimy monsters.
Sure, it's an exploitation movie, but it also answered the age-old question of what monsters want with our women. And it's pretty much what we suspected.
In the right frame of mind, this is a Drive In Classic. (But be careful: there's an even-cheaper "remake" floating around out there with Robert Carradine, a sexless, humorless, drive-in-less knock-off so avoid the more recent version. You need the one with Doug McClure in winter wear, teen girls in bikinis, and Vic Morrow as the nasty racist fisherman).

Summary: A great monster flick!
Review: If you trust Joe Bob Briggs over Roger Ebert, you're sure to like this movie. I first saw it on a whim in high school at a big theater that was in between "A" releases. By the time the movie ended with its infamous closing sequence, the audience was literally cheering! (I know, what a bunch of sicko's). This one has it all, mutated fish-people, gratuitous sex and violence, and comic book-like characters (or caricatures) - the smart and sexy female scientist, the square jawed hero, the nature/outdoor man armed with a crossbow. Think about it, fish-people with a need to mate attack a town in the midst of a beauty pageant - Roger Corman is brilliant!

Summary: The Classic - very few come close
Review: It is an honor to review this movie. 20 years ago my girlfriend and I were walking in Times Square past the movie house where Humanoids was playing. She saw a poster of the monster and wanted to know if such creatures really existed. At that point I knew I had to marry her.
I would like to give this movie 8 stars ********
Half of the movie is directed by Barbara Peters. This half stars Vic Morrow, Ann Turkel, and Doug McClure. They are solid as they seek to save their seaside community and understand the reptilo-humano-Jaws with gonads menace which threatens them. However, this part of the film is not exciting and not original, so it only gets two stars. The other half of the movie, the secret existence of which these actors and the director herself were unaware of (!!), consists of lovely young women at the beach being impregnated by a giant seaweed-covered sponge. There is a very hot sex-scene-threesome in a tent between a geeky puppeteer, his randy woodie, and a very alluring young thing who tries to seduce the marionette. In the midst of this scene, the puppeteer is disemboweled and the lovely young woman runs out of the tent without her clothes, down the beach, but is caught and impregnated by the seaweed-covered sponge. The scene is not explicit enough that you would have been able to explain his reproduction technique to your biology class, but it offers hints. This secret half of the movie deserves 5 stars because I have never seen anything like it before or since.
Finally, the art on the video box is sublime and deserves a star, too. 2 + 5 + 1 = 8

Summary: GIANT, HORNY SALMON MONSTERS!
Review: Oh, what fun! This film is about a salmon fishing port town that gets invaded by genetically mutated salmon. They seem to evolve into human form over the course of a few short weeks and then go on a killing rampage to protect their habitat. They go through the town filleting up the men and raping the women to reproduce their hellish species. An interesting shock-fest if you are into that sort of thing. There are more than a few graphic scenes showing the monstrosities having their way with the ladies. The script is fairly intelligent too since it explains the biological process by which the salmon become what they are. Also a nice little find for film buffs, seeing as it is one of Vic Morrow's final films (too bad).

Summary: Whoh mama.
Review: Pretty horrible, but bad in the Burial Ground or Pieces kind of way. The story here centers on a fishing town where the financial hub is evidently salmon. The fish have been thinning out, and all of the fishermen, morose beer-swilling lowlifes for the most part, are bitter. But there is one ray of hope in the form of the cannery that's supposed to revitalize the whole town. Add to this powder keg the Billy Jack-esque Indian guy that wants to preserve the land. Apparently, a scientist working for the cannery has been tampering with salmon, I guess on some genetic level, to make better salmon or something. What this actually does is create a race of humanoid salmon, buck-toothed monsters with bulging brain sacks and gigantic rubber flippers. The monsters are coming ashore and mauling people, but they are particularly driven towards the chicks. You see, salmon monsters need love too, especially when it comes in the the form of bikini-clad or outright naked beach girls. There isn't much romanace involved. The girls just sort of scream and run, then make sure they fall once or twice so the rubber flipper tread can keep up with them. Now, when the girls aren't entertaining the salmon monsters, they're busy getting it on with land-based degenerates (who just want to drink some beer and have a good time.) More to the point, one girl, tenting on the beach near the tide line for some bizarre reason, is actually coaxed out of her clothes by a puppet with only slightly more finesse than the salmon monsters. There is one blonde girl, voluptuous, milky-skinned, that's kind of pretty, and the salmon monsters really take a liking to her. They take her to their lair, which is above ground, and this is okay, since the salmon monsters just randomly venture miles inland and take to the water only when it's convenient. Eventually, one of the salmon monsters is killed, giving the salmon scientist a chance to study it and make a round of profound observations. Evidently these humanoid salmon are in fact humanoid, and their amphibious attack patterns suggest the fact that they might be turning amphibious! There's never really any satisfactory explanation as to why they chase girls. Probably it's just an ego thing. Or maybe they ARE just diehard romantics---personally I think that is the true reason. The Creature from the Black Lagoon needed love too, and his defense, they threw a super hot babe into each one of his movies, and that was because the Creature, unlike the salmon monsters, had panache and that quiet kind of cool. This movie is great if you just want to watch mindless crap, as I very often do. I only got this movie a few days ago, and I've already watched it like five times. It's inexpensive, and for what it is it fits the bill.

Summary: Action, gore, T&A, a first-rate horror film!
Review: Schlock-meister Roger Corman executive-produced this under-rated cult gem about mutant humanoid-salmon monsters in search of voluptous human mates. Director is noted feminist Barbara Peters- who complained that a bunch of the wonderful monster-on-vixen schlock footage was added without her knowledge, but they are perfect in this absolutely must-see movie. Plays kind of like one of Corman's goofy 50s monster B-movies done 80s style with violent gore and plenty of T&A. Never dull, with plenty of salmon-monster action, some bar-room brawls and explosions, all capped off with a final scene that is not to be missed. A must for monster movie fans, sci-fi fans, and anyone with a sound stomach looking for entertainment.

Summary: Boring piece of schlock.
Review: Small seacoast town is being attacked by mutated humanoid creatures out to mate with the women. There's the typical gratuitous nudity, copious amounts of blood and gore, and lots of mayhem but none of it is directed with the slightest bit of competence. What we get is just Species II with fish creatures! Really bad special effects from Rob Bottin, by the way.
