“Silly Z-grade flick with a monster that looks like a drunk reject from Gwar.”

On the eve of July 4th celebrations, a string of brutal slayings rocks a quiet California beach community – and residents suspect the return of a nightmare long thought buried beneath the waves. In 1987, a race of bloodthirsty amphibious humanoids emerged from the ocean and killed 17 people before disappearing without a trace. Now, as the body count rises and the mayor refuses to shut down the beaches (of course!), a determined environmentalist and the town looney must stop the hungry beasts before they feed on the local population again!

If Humanoids from the Deep was too lofty and high budget for you, then sink your claws into Aquanoids, the kind of no budget, unabashed monster flick that beamed into video stores during the frantic boom of the flourishing DVD era. Borrowing liberally from both Jaws and the spate of seaside monster movies cranked out in the 1980s inspired by Humanoids from the Deep, Aquanoids checks all the boxes: small-town corruption, rubbery monster attacks, gore, and insanely over-the-top acting and plotting that give it the full, seaweed covered cheesiness that you expect from an aquatic creature-feature.
