Synopsis

When a pack of massive, genetically engineered, flesh eating, fish begin combing the quiet waters of the river searching for prey, local authorities scramble to curb the carnage. But scientifically bred with a deadly snake and genetically conditioned to breathe both under water and on land, Frankenfish can hunt wherever humans tread. And they're fast. And they're hungry

Product Description

When a deadly fish, illegally smuggled out of Asia, gets free and finds its way to a Louisiana bayou, a motley group of people from a small houseboat community in the middle of a swamp find themselves under attack by the vicious creature. Even as they make a daring escape to a nearby island, to their horror they discover that this fish can actually stalk them on land as well!

Format:DVD
A film that ticks all the right boxes:

[X]- Explosions
[X]- Hot birds
[X]- Stunning plot twists
[X]- Car/Boat/Creature chase
[X]- Ammusing death within first 2 minutes
[X]- Regular random nudity for no apparent reason

All in all absolutely everything anybody could want from a creature feature.

(Although the strict comforming to racial stereotypes was the only predictable part of this otherwise epic Masterwork)

This film is more proof that todays Oscar cermeonies are meaningless to the real geniuses of modern film.

If you don't want to buy the DVD this will quite likely be making an appearance on channel 5 very soon.

I was very very shocked and pleased with what i got with this film! I think this movie was cinema worthy.

The Frankenfish itself was really cool, the effects had a few holes in them, but they were used effectively and in clever shots!

The film reminded me of Tremors, because the people were only safe in their houseboats and later on in the film, on top of their houseboats. It also had a light hearted feel to it and a dark humour. which worked!

Lots of people die, in rather gory ways! Attractive actors! a few explosions! a couple of twists! a few jumps! Overall a really good film!

Very much worth buying! I can garantee you will watch again.

It's alive! 5 Sep 2005

I saw a trailer for this and thought it looked fun, so I thought i'd give it ago. This is a pretty good film for a low budget creature feature. The special effects for the fish are quite good, if all cgi. It starts of well but the plot is silly, a game hunter genetically engineers a new predatory fish to hunt, but alas it goes awol in the swamp. This does have its funny moments whether intentionally or not, if you liked Lake placid your'll enjoy this. However for a 15 it is very gory and bloody at times. Overall a good fun film worth fishing out.

Swamp "Tremors"
Have to agree with reviewer who said this reminded him of Tremors, This is a sort of Tremors set in the swamp. Take the film for what it is a "Creature Feature". Read more

awsome
I have purchased lots of films off Amazon and Frankenfish has to be one of the best yet.
The sheer randomness of this film is breathtaking and the plot line is genius. Read more
