So I watched a docufilm titled “The 50 Best Horror Movies you’ve Never Seen” and if you’ve been watching this blog you won’t be surprised that I’ve watched or at least heard of half of this list, but there were a few that I had no idea existed at all.
This was one of them, and I think I know why I hadn’t heard of it.
Scientists have been hired to boost the fishing industry of a small seaside town by increasing the local fish population. I think you already know where this is going, the genetically mutated fish continued to genetically mutate and now the residents of the seaside town are being murdered…. and assaulted.
To further their genetic journey these aquatic monsters are going after the women. Yes. You heard me.
It’s very… camp. Everyone is screaming, it’s obviously an actor in a suit, it’s running around and falling off the pier, it’s silly.
My Rating: ★★
