Binding: VHS Tape EAN: 9786304238141 Format: Color, Original recording reissued, NTSC ISBN: 6304238142 Label: New Concorde Languages: Manufacturer: New Concorde Number Of Items: 1 Publisher: New Concorde Release Date: August 28, 2001 Running Time: 80 minutes Studio: New Concorde Theatrical Release Date: 1980 Editorial Review: Amazon.com: The peculiar genius of schlock-king Roger Corman is in full bloom with this extremely gory, pointedly offensive homage to 1950s monster movies (with a generous helping of Alien thrown in for good measure), in which a legion of mutated salmon-men terrorize a small town in their search for unwilling female companionship. (Potential viewers should be warned that this movie goes to great lengths to show what earlier films in this genre had only implied.) A guilty pleasure for exploitation fans with a strong stomach and a twisted sense of humor. For what it's worth, director Barbara Peters has claimed that additional shock scenes were inserted by producer Corman without her knowledge. The glop-intensive special effects were devised by Rob Bottin, who later went on to gross out the masses with his work on Seven, Robocop, and John Carpenter's graphic remake of The Thing. --Andrew Wright Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A tasty dollop of campy horrorOh, this was a funny time. Movies usually seen only on the nascent HBO. This film harkens back to the late 50s/early 60s b/w Corman classics, with what Frank Zappa aptly called "Cheepnis". My favorite momment was when one of the beasts encounters a bikini-clad gal on the beach, apparently he needed to pull her top off in order to get his amphibious rocks off. And he didn't even call her later. Rating:  - Wait, this looks familiar...Humanoids from the Deep (Barbara Peters, 1980) Perhaps the worst insult I can pay a film, from my own experience, is my not remembering I'd seen it before until I'm at least halfway through the movie. It's usually the oddest things that make me remember I've seen a film before. In this case, it was Anothony Pena's entirely innocuous "I've caught a bunch of steelhead I need help eating, wanna come?" line. From there, the deja vu came thick and fast. When the dock collapsed, I knew I'd ... Read More Rating:  - Water monsters horror!Saw this movie back in the 80's on cable. I don't know want's more great about the film, the gore, or the nudity. I have to say this is Roger Corman's best film ever. Worth to pick-up! Rating:  - i agreei like this movie too but i'm not going to pay $45 for a used movie or pay $72.99 to as much as $169.99 for a new one those people are crazy with those prices i mean who's going to pay that much for a 80 min movie ? not me Rating: - A TRUE GORE MASTERPIECE, FROM THE AGE OF GORE (1978-1983)Humanoids From The Deep was released during the age of gore (1978-1983) in 1980. Incredible film transfer picture is sharp and crisp, audio is loud and clear. An interview with Roger Corman done by Leonard Maltin is really a nice feature on this dvd release. There are also a few other trailers from other Roger Corman movies on this dvd, along with talent bios. Roger Corman really struck a cord with gore fans with Humanoids. Humanoids is 80 minutes just like the old 1950s sci-fi movies. Barbara Peters ... Read More |
