Story
In the Pacific Northwest, a new cannery introduces genetically enhanced salmon into the local waters. However, this scientific experiment goes awry as mysterious, mutated sea creatures begin attacking the male population and raping women in the nearby seaside town. The townspeople must figure out how to combat these horrifying humanoids before they are completely wiped out.
Summary
Humanoids from the Deep is a unique blend of horror and science fiction directed by Barbara Peeters and Jimmy T. Murakami, released in 1980. The film stands out as one of few exploitation films made by women during its time, adding an interesting context to its otherwise typical creature feature narrative. Set against the backdrop of environmental pollution and scientific tampering gone wrong, the movie serves as a cautionary tale about man's meddling with nature.
