This should, by rights, be branded one of the worst films ever made, but it's just so damned eccentric and messed up that one can't quite bring oneself to condemn it totally!
With something resembling a plot involving radioactive plankton, genetic mutation and lascivious, monster fish that can possess people! There is also a talking mermaid clock that makes sarcastic comments and a talking shower that wants everyone to masturbate. Seriously, this is one crazy, screwed up film!
Is it good or bad? Well, it's efficiently made considering the tiny budget it must have had, but the best one can say of the cast is that they are enthusiastic! There is some bad, bad acting on display here, but then I guess you don't watch something about mutant killer fish for the finer points of the Stanislavki Method! The special effects are clearly where the budget went and they are a rubbery delight. Tentacles, teeth, scales and fins are all flailing about here and the film is all the more fun for it. If there is one reason why this bizarre mess is worth watching it is for a magnificent and utterly messed up sex scene in which the male half of the coupling changes into one of the fish monsters during the act. It is a jaw droppingly mental scene!
This film is rubbish by anyone's standards, but it is also much fun by a cult film fan's standards! It is ridiculous nonsense but drifts into almost Surrealist moments of utter bizarreness that many will find as hilarious as I did!
