Humanoids From The Deep [1996] [DVD]

Humanoids From the Deep.The title kind of explains everything you need to know about this film anyway. If you can't work out what the film is about and the quality of the movie, then you need to watch more films!A small town gets more than they bargained for when someone does something or other (it doesn't really matter) that makes giant fish men come up from the depths and start trying to `get to know' the local female population. But don't worry... a plucky band of fish-fighting men are on hand to sort out these aquatic Casanovas.The film has a real eighties feel about it - which is odd as it was made in 1996 - the same year as sci-fi blockbuster, Independence Day. It's hard to believe that two so radically different looking films can be made at the same time (although, Humanoids From the Deep is a little more believable when it comes to plot - no fish men were killed with the help of an Apple computer).The first half of the film is played straight, however in the second half, the mood starts to change to something a bit more tongue-in-cheek (definitely how this movie should be taken, in my opinion). Yes, it's cheesy, yes, it's daft and yes, this film will never be up there with The Godfather and Shawshank Redemption. However, it is rather silly fun and if you're a fan of eighties horror movies with men in big rubber suits trying their hand at dating human females, then you might enjoy this - definitely one of those `guilty pleasure' films.NB. Was it just me, or did anyone else think there were a few `Aliens' references in this film? I won't go on about them. It might just be my imagination.

arrived quickly well packed no damage as described no hassles.no spoilersI like this kind of movie. its simple and un pretentious. its a modern day drive in excuse. the actors are ok the story is easy to follow there is a bit of drama, not much make out fun, good guys bad guys and worse creatures. If you can run to pop corn coke and a bit of candyfloss you've got a great night. Seriously the creatures.... the most terrifying thing about them how the creators thought for one minute this wouldn't be ridiculed. Or maybe that was part of the plan. In which case Salut.You all know the plot lines and the actual lines so enough said.ACID TEST: would I buy again/ recommend 90/10 yes

It must have been a t v version as it certainly didn't have the nudity in it that was shown on u tube. Very disappointed but still not bad movie

It was an ok film but I think the first one made was better.

It's ok if you havent anything to watch when your bored! .. Haven't seen the original yet, but I was soo stupid in buing this without knowing that there has been a remake of it. And it's pretty awful for a B movie!

The original is far better a film.

Good
