HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP (1980)
Starring Doug McClure and Ann Turkel Schlocky, entertaining piece of nudie horror nonsense from executive producer Roger Corman. As a horny teen, I watched this over and over again when it used to air on HBO. One can't say it's generated a cult following over the years since its release. But it has managed to stubbornly stay in print and was even remade as a cable TV movie (without the sex). Humanoid monsters invade a local fishing community and rape some women. It's an excuse for a couple of nude scenes. There's a pretty shocking pay off at the end of the film when a woman actually gives birth to one of the monster babies. Rob Bottin provided the make-up effects, which are actually pretty decent throughout the film (although some of the monster costumes are laughable).
If you do decide to buy or rent it, watch out. A TV movie remake was also once made available on video. You want to avoid that one. Go for the genuine sex and violence of the Roger Corman original. |
