Humanoids from the Deep
From the caverns of the deep... it strikes!
REVIEWED BY THE HORRORIST

Humanoid creatures, from uh, the deep, are evolving into amphibians and invading the beaches and homes of a coastal city. Also they want some tush.

This is an amusing little flick, hordes of hulking green fishmen with big brains roaming the beaches looking for busty women to impregnate. Meanwhile a few level-headed locals commence to shooting them in the noggin whenever they get a chance, and the humanoids love tearing big chunks out of any man that stands between them and the object of their affections. There are naked boobs, gory kills, eighties hair and cheesy dialogue as far as the eye can see in Humanoids from the Deep.

This is a fun one to watch with friends and beer. The acting is good, the story is decent and as I said, gore and boobs. Don’t expect anything scary at all, and the humanoids are clearly guys in rubber suits, but they’re pretty good suits, and what’s so wrong with costumes, anyway? If a creature is humanoid, I’d think it would be silly to do it any other way.

Turns out, Roger Corman was the producer of this movie, and when he asked the director, Barbara Peters, to add more toplessness, she refused saying it was gratuitous. He fired her and hired someone else to shoot the scenes. Normally I'm all about art above profit, but seriously Barb, did you think you were making a quality movie or something? Lack of nudity would have buried this cheesefest.

Anyway, that’s about it. Teen fare to titillate and amuse, but not much else.
