Review:
Hehe, this one is far better than it's reputation, especially if you like cheesy yet fun and exploitation style monster B-films. In this case it's about a salmon cannery and a local fisherman who is opposed to the cannery. A fight ensues, and suddenly people and other animals are being mutilated by strange creatures. Soon scientists step in and test the water where the fish live and discover some mutation causing chemicals which in turn of course create the humanoids! It's got nudity, gore, and a sense of humor, what more could one ask for? It's one heck of a fun ride and although this won't be for everyone, I think it's a surprisingly good '80s romp.
