Simply A Masterpiece

Admirable film.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Five teenagers -- bespectacled nerd Mike (Clay Rogers), his sweet fiancé Margaret (pretty brunette Sharon Twomey), obnoxious toolbox Bobby (Michael Bon), busty babe Julie (foxy blonde Ann Wolf), and her equally sexy sister Dorothy (fetching Laura di Palma) -- embark on a boating trip and wind up becoming seriously lost after they run afoul of a fierce storm. The quintet stumble across an abandoned yacht in the middle of the ocean with a mysterious biology lab on board it. Next thing you know the kids are being attacked by ferocious mutated prehistoric fish. Will any of them survive this harrowing ordeal? Boy, does this immensely messed-up movie possess all the right wrong stuff to qualify as a deliciously cheesy and often uproarious four-star stinkeroonie: simply atrocious (non)acting from a lame no-name cast, a totally ridiculous script that blatantly rips off such classic fright films as "Piranha," the '82 "The Thing" remake, and "The Evil Dead," hilariously horrendous dubbing, hopelessly inept (mis)direction, zero tension or creepy atmosphere, oodles of gross graphic gore (watch out for an especially revolting upchuck scene), insipid cardboard characters, cruddy (far from) special effects, laughably dumb dialogue ("Look, it's full of clothes," exclaims one gal after opening a closet), a generic hum'n'shiver synthesizer score, an insanely over-the-top conclusion, and, best of all, a gloriously tasteless scene in which Bobby transforms into a grotesque humanoid fishman beast while in the middle of doing just what you think with Julie. As a nice added bonus, both Wolf and di Palma spend the entire film wearing skimpy bikinis or less. "This is all absurd," Mike proclaims at one point in the picture -- and indeed that's exactly why this sublimely tacky trash rates highly as a completely sidesplitting unintentional laugh riot from start to finish.

This is actually a surprisingly nihilistic little modern day B monster movie shot on DV, with a premise so stupid that no matter how idiotic the execution it still worked. A group of teenage dingbats stage their own private party on a deserted excursion yacht found floating aimlessly in the middle of a raging storm. The reason the yacht is deserted is because mutant fish monsters have evolved in about two days from a radioactive toxic waste spill and first mutated with the crew, and now they are ready to breed.The slimy prospects of the lustful monster fishies is indeed realized during a hilariously over the top transformation scene that stands as the film's centerpiece: While attempting to score with one of the chicks, one of the guys (who has been exposed to the mutating waste) suddenly starts growing tendrils & spines and heaving out gobs of muck. What makes it funny is that the girl starts to like it, and the animated stop motion & prosthetic effects do not pause to consider how fake they look and instead concentrate on getting a few laughs plus gross out factor. The film has a reckless abandon to it crossed with a perverse sense of humor, nudity, and gross out gags.In other words this is a party movie, not SCHINDLER'S LIST, and should be consumed only in the company of friends at social settings where alcohol is served and consumed in what might be deemed as an irresponsible manner. You'll need it for most of the warm up portion of the film -- after a nice frenetic Lost In The Storm sequence the movie settles down into cliché mid 1990's teen party footage for a while, but once the kids start disappearing and the monsters (interestingly depicted as first by only a fish-eye view of their own perspective as they stalk the idiots) start trying to glom onto them it starts to be actual fun. The "bad" or dated or low budget effects make it all the more enjoyable, including a downright nihilistic conclusion for this sort of fare.Colorful, slimy, and over quickly -- try adding beer for optimal effect.6/10 for this kind of stuff.

"Creatures from the Abyss" is an insignificant and very nasty Italian romp that 'borrows' elements from every notable underwater SF/horror film made in the past 25 years. It rips off the obvious classics like "Piranha", "the Abyss" and "The Thing", but it also steals ideas from B-movies of which I never assumed they would have inspired anyone to do the same. Like "DeepStar Six", "The Blob"-remake and even Roger Corman's "Humanoids from the Deep". Don't even consider buying this flick if you got any good taste left in you, as this is really bottom of the barrel camp! We're talking atrocious acting, hilariously bad dialogue ("Hey, that fish has an evil expression!") and grotesque gore that somewhat resemblances the artwork of Screaming Mad George. Nonetheless, I loved watching it simply because it's such dumb and brainless entertainment that doesn't require any involvement whatsoever. The plot centers on five stupid teenagers who planned a nice day at the beach with their rubber boat. They're overcome by a storm and seek shelter on an Oceanographic Research yacht (let's ignore for a moment that they supposedly drifted off to the middle of the Atlantic on that ridiculously small motorized raft...). Despite the ominous setting of the abandoned yacht, they throw a little dinner party and have some sex. Until, finally, one of them (who at least has a little brain capacity) discovers that giant amounts toxic waste poisoned the plankton in the ocean. Seeing that this plankton is an essential food source for many ocean organisms, the fish have mutated and eaten the crew. Some sequences rate very high on the repulsive-scale, like a girl vomiting sea-creatures or a dude transforming into a rancid monster during a sex-act. The nauseating gore actually is the only reason to check the film out, since there's not much tension or intrigue. It's an unusual type of gore for an Italian film, I'll give it that, as it doesn't handle about zombies or mad raving cannibals for a change. The English dubbing is downright painful and easily one of the worst I ever beheld...and that has got to mean something."Creatures from the Abyss" is an Italian film made in the 90's. The only Italian genre director who still meant something during this decade was Michele Soavi and he sure as hell didn't have anything to do with this production. That should give you a little idea about how "good" this film is. It's sick, ugly and monstrous! You can either take that as a warning or a recommendation.

I was expecting this movie to be entertaining, I was let down big time. There was not one entertaining scene in the whole movie. Even the acting was bad. Avoid at all costs, resist the temptation.Don't think I'll ever eat fish again after seeing this movie.
