Monster


[a.k.a. Humanoids From the Deep]
Dir: Barbara Peeters
Star: Douc McLure, Ann Turkel, Vic Morrow, Cindy Weintraub

[5] Genetically frigged salmon escape, rapidly evolve into 'things' and attack a fishing community. Gets a point for having the first rape scene ever to make me laugh; the sight of human/salmon hybrids (strongly resembling The Creature from the Black Lagoon) mauling bimbos in bikinis was just too silly for words. Never a dull moment, though, thanks to Roger Corman beefing it up by adding attack scenes whenever he felt it was getting dull. McLure is one of the many cardboard characters on show, Rob Bottin did the creatures and it's messily entertainingly, if totally undemanding intellectually.
