Splatter Trash!

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

I'm a fan of dodgy low budget horror films (eg Plankton, Galaxy of Terror, Slugs) - but this film was beyond dodgy. It was Trash! I was hoping for a modern day Humanoids From the Deep - alas this film did not even come close. The gore effects are okay - if very amateur and underdone - but the production values are atrocious! Including a super-imposed beach party! What idiocy is this. They didn't even have a budget for a beach party - wouldn't it have been cheaper than blue-screen effects? Even bad ones? Needless to say the acting, plot and characters are awful. Even the lame sex scene from the very hot Erika Smith cannot save the film. Do not see this film - I am not kidding.
