What a glorious piece of garbage!!
Not a damn thing makes a lick of sense. It’s like they didn’t even try, and succeeded anyway. (“Succeeded” may be too strong a word… maybe not even the right word. I mean, they MADE a movie, but they made THIS movie…

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A cheerfully trashy creature feature where mutant fish attack a Caribbean resort and the earnest heroes scramble to stop them. It's the kind of movie that knows exactly how silly it is, delivering absurd practical effects and B-movie thrills in equal measure.
