This sequel/remake to the Roger Corman classic seems more a remake of ATTACK OF THE GIANT LEECHES, with the humanoids kidnapping women and taking them to their underwater lair--but instead of sucking their blood they intend to reproduce. The premise here is that scientists have genetically altered the DNA of serial killers with fish DNA in hopes of creating the ultimate soldier (of course!) and the creatures escape. This is all told through dialogue. Scientist Emma Samms, feeling guilty about all this, goes to the fishing town where the carnage ensues and befriends fish factory worker Robert Carradine. Carradine's daughter is subsequently kidnapped by the fish men and it's a race against time to rescue her before she has fish-baby. Although a needless retread this movie is far better than you'd think it would be keeping in mind the remakes of PIRANHA and THE WASP WOMAN.
