Humanoids from the Deep
Directed by Barbara Peeters, Jimmy T. Murakami
In this gory low-budget shocker from the Roger Corman stable, genetically treated salmon escape the plant and are eaten by coelacanths, who mutate into humanoid monsters with giant craniums and sharp claws. The creatures begin attacking teen couples, killing the boys and mating with the girls (in some pretty graphic monster-rape scenes), creating total pandemonium at the annual salmon festival.
Half man, half fish terrorize a small fishing village in this Roger Corman shocker.
Cast: Doug McClure, Ann Turkel, Vic Morrow, Cindy Weintraub

It's like the Shape of Water but with out the consensual sex.
Alot of people in the comments forget that this film came out in 1980, its a good film for its time. This was my first time watching it and I enjoyed it alot. The good old days when Men were Men and Women were Women, and no virtual signaling. 10/10
Plenty of 70s sex-ploitation, and monster-rape as advertised. On the up-side, lots of killer totally-not-Deep-Ones attacking and killing of the stupid white people who didn't listen to the indigenous folk or scientists before it was too late. Still not an awful Lovecraft interpretation, as those typically go in Hollywood.
At the end I was not expecting that 😅😅
Entertaining for a B movie.
