Humanoids from the Deep (Monster) (1980)

My Rating

Movie Info

This gory, scary low-budget shocker from the Roger Corman stable concerns the battle over a salmon cannery in a Pacific Northwest town. Genetically treated salmon escape the plant and are eaten by coelacanths, who mutate into humanoid monsters with giant craniums and sharp claws. The creatures begin attacking teen couples, killing the boys and mating with the girls (in some pretty graphic monster-rape scenes). Eventually, a bunch of them create total pandemonium at the annual salmon festival.

It's easily the best film I've ever seen about an evil woman-raping sea monster.

Even on the Corman scale of quality, Humanoids is a decidedly lesser effort -- but that's not to say you won't have some fun.

Takes the theme of the Julie Adams-lusting 'Creature from the Black Lagoon' to an extreme that the censors would not have allowed in the 1950s...

You really need to go back and see how it was done back in the day ... with reckless abandon and lots of splattery fun in mind

What's not to love about seedy sea monsters, gratuitous making out, slimy goo, splashing blood, fiery explosions, humor and horror?

An unintentionally hilarious fusing of mutated salmon and full frontal nudity

Corman mini-classic featuring boob-happy sea monsters.

Audience Reviews for Humanoids from the Deep (Monster)

An okay monster movie, but really it's just an updated version of some 50s B-movies. It's not too bad, but it's not too good either.
