Snakehead Terror

Here is another fantastic movie with lots of blood, lots of over-the-top mayhem, and human growth hormones.  Bruce Boxleitner, of Tron fame, is the sheriff and Carol Alt is also in the movie.  Throw in Medusa's Face alumni Chelan Simmons, from Ice Twisters and Malibu Shark Attack, just for good measure.

This small lake town had a problem in the past.  Snakehead fish were introduced to the lake by accident and began eating all of the other species of fish that were indigenous to the lake.  To kill off the snakehead population, a poison was introduced to the lake to kill them off.  Which also killed off any remaining indigenous fish.

Enter in the local coroner and bait shop brothers who have taken it upon themselves to help repopulate the lake by adding human growth hormones.  The hormones were supposed to be a catalyst to help the indigenous fish, but instead, helped the snakeheads.  And boy howdy, did it ever help them.  One of the snakeheads has grown the size of a whale.

Let's cut to the chase.  Here is what you need to know:  1) lots of large fish that can also walk in land, 2) these fish are capable of decapitating a human (or several), 3) one of the funniest ways to get a killer fish off of your arm is to hold it over the moving propeller of your beached fishing boat.

This movie uses digital fish as well as foam rubber fish throughout the movie.  You all know that I love it when foam rubber villains make their way onto the screen.  And this movie has some classic moments.  About the only thing this movie is missing is some gratuitous nudity or a performance such as Holly Weber's in Supergator.  Oh, how she did perform in that movie.

I give this movie 3 out of 5 electric fishing guns.
