Humanoids from the Deep

1996 · 86 min

A cheesy, fast-paced creature feature with schlocky scares and a grim undercurrent, best enjoyed as late-night B-movie fun.

Tagline: Your deepest fears will surface
Overview: A secret government experiment turns nightmarish when genetically altered fish, bred as amphibious weapons, escape. Scientists believe them dead after a biohazardous chemical spill. Far from it, the creatures thrive as bloodthirtsy killers, threatening to annihilate a small coastal town by slaughtering the men and abducting the women for mating! Government scientists attempt to keep the creatures' origin a secret while trying to destroy them.
How it feels: Dark, tense, campy and eerie. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Survival, violence, conspiracy, isolation
Content: Strong violence and gore. Mild sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
