Being a big fan of movies like THE MONSTER OF PIEDRAS BLANCAS and sea-born monster flicks in general I've been wanting to check out this 70's ocean-monster flick for a long time now, unfortunately it doesn't really live up to my anticipation. What you get here is a chubby CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON monster who's brought to life by radioactive waste. He's supposed to be born from the muck and mud of the swampy canals of Venice, CA but doesn't look anything like the SWAMP THING and looks very much like a guy in a pretty dry rubber suit. There is a bit of gore here and there since our creature is fond of slashing his victims and chowing down on their intestines for nutritional purposes. There's also a couple of boobs if you look closely enough since ol' SLITHIS also digs popping tops now and then. One memorable scene has a bunch of drunks in a bar racing turtles which I though was neat. Besides that though this flick comes complete with stupid jump scares and the typical expected non-ending ending which was annoying.
For a similar but less talky and way more entertaining viewing experience I would recommend checking out HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP instead of this.
Get your SLITHIS survival kit!:
I dig this movie. Its not as good as Humanoids From The Deep but I still dig this fish-man
