IMDB Link

Plot:

Scientific experiments backfire and produce horrific mutations: halfman, halffish which terrorize a small fishing village by killing the men and raping the women.

A User Review:

Humanoids from the deep is a good B-movie from the 80's. It is full of cliches typical of horror movies. Women undressing with the windows opened. A woman hears a noise outside and leaves the house to investigate. Scary false alarms (you see someone approaching a woman, you believe it is the monster, but, guess what, it is just the boyfriend.) Let's be brief: this is Friday the 13th with sea monsters.

Fortunately, humanoids from the deep is unintentionally funny. Some scenes are hilarious. And some are a little scary. There's some suspense as well. And hey, at least a scientist explained why these monsters exist. Some monster movies don't do even that (anyone remembers Split Second?).

Bottom line: a good bad movie

Trivia:

Director Barbara Peeters once said that the 'humanoids' were originally suppose to be played by the films stunt men. Unfortunately the stunt men found the monster suits to be too 'goofy-looking' and refused to wear them. Additional actors had to be hired to perform as the monsters.
