This is part of a series of reviews for SciFi channel monster movies. Including MANSQUITO, SNAKEHEAD TERROR and FLU BIRD HORROR
FRANKENFISH
As with MANSQUITO, you know from Jump Street (sweet Peter Deluise!) what kind of flick you are getting into. So unless you are an asshole you got no reason to bitch about it being stupid. So don't be this guy: khaledbadra from imdb
this is the worst movie ever made on this plannet, I dident know if I did laugh ore cry when i saw this film, The director should be shoot to death
The director our friend khaledbadra refers to is Mark A.Z. Dippe and despite not having a cool name like Tibor, did a good job on this genetically engineered snakehead monster fish movie. He did SPAWN also, which was enjoyable enough despite some bitter malcontent might tell you. Surely everyone remembers the horrible "Summmer of the Snakehead" a few years ago. Hundreds dead, many more injured. Somewhere around the time of West Nile Virus, Avian Flu, SARS, Monkey Pox, Clay Aiken, Lyme disease, Box jellyfish and the bears. From what I gather it's some sort of Oriental devilfish that was imported in a Fu Manchu like plot to rule the strip malls. Or something. Anyway, down on the bayou someone gets eaten and a guy medical examiner and lady wildlife expert are sent to investigate. They quickly realize there's something fish related going on and hook up with a group of house boat dwellers who have a little community. There's a spooky voodoo creole, her hot daughter, a couple of nudist hippies and creepy bayou loner. The frankenfish attack, people die and the little village of connected houseboats begin to sink. There's some gore and a pretty cool head removal by fish. The fish themselves are mostly cgi but look pretty cool. The human villains of the story appear, a Most Dangerous Game rich guy type and his goons, and also face death as fish food. The rich guy is suitably comic booky but does like to hang out with hot naked chicks. It's all pretty stupid but fun and fast paced once the fish attack. If you're a fan of "noodling" and who isn't, then this is the flick for you. Or maybe you need to hear the message again that man should not fuck with nature because nature always wins. It's got a high body count, some nudity, air boat mayhem, noodling, a lesson in gun safety and really what more do you want out of a low budget monster fish flick. I'd rate it a solid B for a scifi channel flick. For reference, KING OF THE LOST WORLD would be an F. Sadly,not even Boxleitner could save it.
