Title: Humanoids from the Deep Post by: Inframan on November 25, 2006, 04:10:12 PM I got to see this one for free, it was in a local film fest sponsered by Austin Film Society about female directors. I think most of the audience was a little shocked when the announcer warned that there were rape scenes. But of course they were just mutated trout-men so I guess that wasnt so offensive. Supposedly Corman added more scenes of women being attacked.
Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedys actally wrote a song about this movie, its on an album called "the Witch Trials" Title: Humanoids from the Deep Post by: staev on April 23, 2003, 10:56:19 PM I knew the director of this film (Barbara Pieters.) She told me that the stunt men found the humanoid suits so ridiculous, that they had to be worn by the special efects people.
Title: Humanoids from the Deep Post by: Akira Tubo on November 25, 2006, 04:09:49 PM I freakin' love this movie! It's pure, utter exploitation with genuinely cool monsters, just enough blood and guts, and really is downright creepy at times.
Title: Humanoids from the Deep Post by: Dano on November 25, 2006, 04:10:12 PM A hilarious review that missed the most hilarious part of the whole movie: The cannery company was called "Can-Co." The guy who wrote this move was just at a TOTAL loss to come up with a name for that company and said "Aw screw it, I'll just call it Can-Co or something." I have trouble imagining that a writer that lazy could have come up with whole salmon DNA/evolution thing, but there you have it.
Alternatively, maybe the script had "Starkist" or something and the producers got sued and had to switch it at the very last second. Title: Humanoids from the Deep Post by: Liz on September 12, 2002, 11:56:43 PM Beautiful review of an oogly movie.
Title: Humanoids from the Deep Post by: Jordan Garren on November 25, 2006, 04:09:03 PM Hey Andrew, great review. But you did forget to mention the cat that comes leaping out of a doghouse! What was that pesky feline doing in there?!
Title: Humanoids from the Deep Post by: b movie fan on November 25, 2006, 04:09:03 PM Most of my friends took this movie to seriously i on the other side didnt take it has serious and add a tone of fun watching it.
The humanoids where pertty cool, and you get too see great tits in that movie heheehhehe gratuity breast shot. Title: Humanoids from the Deep Post by: AlphaWoolf on November 25, 2006, 04:10:12 PM A fine slab of cheese with that everyman of 70's monster/fantasy flicks, Doug McClure. The gratiutously high mammary count doesn't hurt, to be sure, particularly since these are the old-fashioned, unaugmented kind unseen in this Silicon Age. Between this and "Galaxy of Terror", Corman obviously has some women-getting-raped-to-death fetish going on.
Title: Humanoids from the Deep Post by: Neville on November 25, 2006, 04:09:49 PM For me watching this movie was a pleasant surprise: a flick about sea monsters that was both competently made and even scary. The attacks of the sea monsters were all well executed and dosified, and the subplots felt more than character development than just mere fillers between the attacks.
And then I was backstabed. A chick in white clothes pretended she was a scientist and declared that the sea monsters were nothing but mutant salmons. Well, that almost ruined the whole thing for me. I can't be afraid of salmons, can I? They could have made up something more scary, like, you know, mutant barracudas, or mutant sharks. But no. I must admit it: it is a pretty good film, but in my opinion the bad science bits should have been cut. Title: Humanoids from the Deep Post by: Deimos on November 25, 2006, 04:10:12 PM This movie rocked! Will this movie have a 25th anniversary DVD release? I don't think so. Will it entertain you on a Saturday night? Absolutely! As has been mentioned several times, the boobage was nice - also an interesting throwback to the days where women had the all-natural kind. Lots of great overly bloody kill scenes. One noticed error: When the "scientist" is talking about coelacanths, she points to some pictures of the fish on a chart. The pictures are not of coelacanths (I suppose that a trip to the library was out of budget)...and that chick was no scientist (she was a PROFESSIONAL SCIENTIST!). And that's all I have to say about that...err...umm....movie...
Title: Humanoids from the Deep Post by: Jeff on November 25, 2006, 04:09:49 PM this is a great movie. 1 of my fav's from the 80's. A real creepy movie with a nice 'Alien' rip off ending. :)
Title: Humanoids from the Deep Post by: Jeffery Weskamp on November 25, 2006, 04:10:12 PM This movie was made to show women being raped by sea-monsters. Everything else is just filler material. If the movie had shown men without the fish suits performing the assaults, it would never have been made. Oh, that's right, it WAS made. It's called "I Spit On Your Grave." My mistake.
Title: Humanoids from the Deep Post by: mike on March 09, 2004, 06:35:47 PM Cool!
Title: Humanoids from the Deep Post by: Vess on November 25, 2006, 04:09:03 PM Shockingly, this film actually spawned a remake (or perhaps it was a sequel...) - which, reportedly and not at all surprisingly, was hideously bad.
Title: Humanoids from the Deep Post by: Jim on November 25, 2006, 04:09:49 PM Fish heads, fish heads, roly-poly fish heads, fish heads, fish heads, bash them in, yum! Very few of the characters in the movie realize that if you fight back AT ALL, you kill the HFTDs by the truckload. A rock upside the head, a two-by-four, rifle, gasoline, drain cleaner, knife, salad fork ... it's all good! Oh, and lots of 80s boobies, too.
Title: Humanoids from the Deep Post by: Alex de Large on November 25, 2006, 04:09:49 PM Great movie!!! I always wondered why, in the movies and folklore, monsters were constantly chasing beautiful women around. ....now we know! Horny little devils :-) (I would love to see a remake with today's advanced CGI. The setting could be some huge beach town during spring break. Lots of bikini clad hotties for the oh so naughty fishmen) Alex Title: Humanoids from the Deep Post by: IT on December 06, 2005, 05:09:24 PM This is ROGER CORMANS best movie ever in my opinion.This movie scared the hell out of me as a teenager.The scene with the woman giving birth to a monster was very well done as was the attack at the amusement park.A great enjoyable horror movie that everyone should buy.
Title: Humanoids from the Deep Post by: Sharon on November 25, 2006, 04:10:12 PM I was living in Fort Bragg, Ca while they were making this movie. My favorite part was the young hunk reving the outboard on the boat before heading up the river. rrrrrmmmmmmm,rrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmm, rmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Boat is going nowhere, darn gotta untie the boat. Laughed our backsides off watching that. I think my daughter in law was one of the extras in the carnival scene.
Doug McClure singlehandedly improved the bottom line of several bars in the area while they were filming. One of the females in the movie was one of Rod Stewart's exes; Alana something. My daughter (6 at the time) got written up in the local paper for telling someone she had been to see "Hemorrhoids From the Deep"; lots of outrage that a parent would take a child to that movie! HeeeeeeHeeeeeeee!!! We lived there for quite some time and we never figured the climate out either. I could be wearing shorts at home and need a down jacket in Noyo Harbor (13 miles away) all on the same day. |
