JoeB131 This looks like a Sci-Fi Channel movie at first glance, except it has just enough nudity and swearing not to be. The plot is that a medical examiner and a hot babe game warden investigate a mysterious death on the Bayou, and quickly find themselves besieged by giant snake-head fish from Asia that have been genetically engineered.The plot moves along pretty tightly and the actors are a lot of fun in their portrayals. The weakest part of the movie are the monsters themselves, which are done in extra-crappy CGI. Still an okay movie to watch and vastly better than the junk you'd normally see on Sci-Fi.There's a whole lot of illogic here, such as why would you hunt a 25 foot long monster fish in a skiff pushed by a propeller?
Dman527 This movie was fun. I love killer fish movies. I have watched allot of them,from Jaws to Piranha 3D. The idea that something is in the water and it wants to kill you intrigues me. The film is about genetically enhanced Snakeheads who attack houseboats in a swamp in Louisiana, and its up to medical investigator Sam Rivers and the residents to kill these creatures before they become fish food. I loved this movie. Its actually better than the new film Piranha 3D in my opinion. Its a nice little creature feature. My favorite scene is when a guy kills one of the monsters and cuts out its heart and then puts it on a grill and eats it. I do have some complaints. Most of the film is dark and I couldn't see what was going on. I hated the boyfriend character, all he does is sit around, whine and complain, but I liked when he got drunk and said a bunch of random things. If you like films like Lake Placid, Anaconda and Jaws you will enjoy this film.
g-is-for-gluggermuffin Hmmm well yes i thought Frankenfish was a fascinating film in which many mutated fish eat people. Apparently frankenfish heart tastes quite good, as somebody eats one in the middle of this epic film. The conclusion of a man being eaten by lots of little frankenfishes was quite disappointing, as not only did it kill off the coolest character it also made one of those stupid endings all set up for a sequel, yet they never make one. As i have quite a thick skull i still have no idea how the frankenfishes became frankenfishes. Perhaps i wasn't listening to that bit, but hopefully you can make more sense of it than me. I am still nonplussed as to why there is a woman on the front that is only in the movie for about 10 minutes, before she is quite unexpectedly pulled into the depths by a large frankenfish.
FilmCriticBoy It is very very poor movie.Badly written,amateur acting,badly directed,with poor CGI,but with some funny jokes.IT has some funny end entertaining moments.The actors are unknown and they aren't good at all.Some people like this trashy C movies and i would recommend this movie to them.I like horror movies,but THIS IS NOT a horror movie.It is is SCI-FI/ACTION/comedy movie.I haven't seen a funny film like this for a long,long time.It was not a complete waste of time because it was funny and occasionally entertainment.But if you are looking for a good movie don't watch this at any cost,because this is a very bad movie with very bad actors and a small budget
