No Hope November - Day 7 - "Humanoids From The Deep"

Episode 7 of No Hope November. Let's take a trip to a great time in horror history. The year, 1980. The mastermind, Roger Corman. The movie, "Humanoids From The Deep," also known as "Monster." Set in a small ocean side fishing village where scientists are performing secret experiments in growth hormones and gene splicing with DNA from men and salmon. You read that right, salmon. Now there are super sweet looking sea monsters coming out of the water with two missions on their ...mind. To kill men, and rape women, in order to advance their bizarro creature race. There are so many interesting elements in this film. The little village, the village's annual "Salmon Festival," the amazing monsters, tits and ass, disturbing fishman rape, the ridiculous political incorrectness at every turn, nonsensical science and conspiracy, great atmosphere, and a killer score. It's a veritable smorgasbord of awesomeness. All hail Roger Corman! This is what early 80's horror/sci fi is all about.
