A previous reviewer states "The scenes are stolen from other movies such as Jaws, Piranha and Alien".
This is actually a made for TV movie which is a scene by scene remake of the superb 1980 original environmental horror movie with Doug McClure and Ann Turkel. Although being a TV movie the creature attacks are less violent, there is no nudity and even less of a sense of fun, although the Rogeman Chemicals company is a nice twist showing Corman still has a sense of humour.
The original movie may have borrowed ideas from other films but what movie doesn't?, and the creatures were a lot more impressive first time round. I'm no fan of movies that are almost scene by scene re-makes and this has done little to make me change my mind.
I accept my view is tainted by the fact that I am a big Doug McClure fan who loves the original movie. To me this movie has very little going for it at all, apart from seeing Emma Samms again, some reasonable acting performances and an OK DVD cover. Do yourself a favour, try to watch the original instead Humanoids From the Deep [DVD] [1980] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]. Ignore tbe Amazon cast details which still show Emma Samms and Robert Carradine, that's just a typo.
This is one occasion when imitation is definitely not the sincerest form of flattery.

The script makes no sense whatsoever at any time. The scenes are stolen from other movies such as Jaws, pirrhana and Alien. The monsters are for some unexplained reasons capable of withstanding being perferated by bullets, yet are remarkably flamable. All the characters are unconvincing and badly developed. The movie is idiotic in every aspect, and never entertains.
Absolutley nothing to recommend it.

If there was a fight between Alien and the Creatures From The Deep in this film, the creatures would win, hands (or fins) down! Featuring some some promising acting skill and some intriguing "special" effects, this film is a highly entertaining rollick about the perils of toxic waste and government experimentation; all I can say is...."Save The Fish!!"
this was possibly the most entertaining film i have seen for a long while. fact. I am the soul founder of the film night of hawthorn terrace and this would rival such films as conan2, phirranas, anacondas2, shrek, love actually and king cobra. this film is, surprisingly, better enjoyed halfway through a bottle of whisky.
