Frankenfish - 2004 USA d:Mark A Z Dippé
Although I like the unapologetically schlocky and apt title, I suspect it has done little service for this film. The film is better than this title probably suggests to most people.
A superior low budget Creature Feature, this tells of genetically modified Northern Snakeheads terrorising the bayous of Louisiana. It has a solid, serviceable script, an excellent and attractive cast and a number of well pulled off set-pieces of piscine mayhem.
If Jaws, Piranha or Rogue are your thing, then Frankenfish will surely not disappoint. This is good stuff indeed, and I loved it as much this second viewing as I did when I first saw it five years ago. Recommended.
