azathothpwiggins HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP introduces us to the small, seaside town of Noyo Harbor, where fishing is its lifeblood. When deadly tragedy strikes, it's certain the titular monsters are responsible. Kids, dogs, no one is safe! In short order, it's clear that a big problem has started, and Jim Hill (Doug McClure) tries to get to the bottom of the mystery. Meanwhile, cantankerous Hank Slattery (Vic Morrow) and his rowdy group of beer-guzzling roustabouts, are busy finding ways to blame the deaths on the local native population, represented by Johnny Eagle (Anthony Pena). A new cannery is about to be built, and Dr. Susan Drake (Ann Turkel) is along to make sure everything is environmentally sound. Could the cannery be behind all this? Amidst all this intrigue, an army of gooey fish-men arises to attack and inseminate the town's women! Copious female nudity occurs. The rest is pretty much Slattery and company vs. Johnny Eagle, occasionally interrupted by monster assaults and death. All while Hill, Drake, and Johnny investigate the slimy goings on. Will the town be able to unite against this existential threat? Gorey and graphic, it all culminates in the apocalyptic Humanoids-invade-the-Noyo-salmon-festival finale! BEWARE! CONTAINS DECAPITATION, DISEMBOWELMENT, AND GENERAL NASTINESS! Ultra-cheeeze like this comes along only once in a generation!...

Filmbufftwerp I watched this movie without reading the description. So I must say that if you have any question as to whether you should see this or not, read the IMDB description. That's literally what this movie is. There's nothing more to it than that. Early on there are some intriguing sociological and environmental story threads that are ultimately dropped in favor of nudity, rape, and murder.The basic primal premise of this is well executed both on the page and on-screen... and the final product is just as ugly and detestable as the humanoid creatures featured in the film. And now that i'm on the subject of the creatures I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that they were pretty neat looking for the period and budget range the movie was made in. And the action was pretty decent too, especially in the third act. I would only recommend this if you're a Roger Corman fan/completist, and are not in the company of children, easily offended woman, your parents, or anybody with taste.

fairlesssam A small town is attacked by the humanoids of the deep after experiments go wrong. The humanoids want to mate with the town's young women. They go round killing and attacking everyone, no one is safe.I thought this movie was fun. The cast is great and the acting isn't bad for a 1980 sci-fi flick. The humanoids looked fab, especially their bulbous brains! The plot is also good. The characters could have done with a little more development but all-in-all a watchable and fairly enjoyable sci-fi horror.

Brian T. Whitlock (GOWBTW) Roger Corman is known for his hit films. In "Humanoids From The Deep", you want to reel it in. It's a small fishing town called Noyo, it's known for its salmon, it has started to build a cannery there. Unfortunately, it has also reeled in some trouble along the way. Not only did they draw ire from the Native Americans, a new species of beings has spawned from the waters. And heat did they do? They kill the young men, and they started to rape the women to breed their young. So what now? These creatures must be stopped. With a cast like this, no wonder this movie was good. It's like "The Creature From The Black Lagoon", only hornier. These fish creatures have more of a sex appetite for women, than a normal appetite for food. Doug McClure did a spectacular job there. Ann Turkel showed a lot of guts and smarts in the film. This horror gem is a real keeper, and it should be remembered well for years to come. And by all means, avoid the remake! So bring the popcorn and the fishing gears, don't release this movie in the waters. 5 stars!
