I have seen plenty of SOV flicks and for some reason I found this to be incredibly fascinating. For sure not good but at the same time you can't look away. It's like looking at something you were never ment to watch.
It has a feeling to it that someone found this film in a dumbster, based on the grainy picture quality and audio quality.
The intro of the film is incredibly entertaining when we see an old fisherman getting mauled and eaten to death by this mutated fish. Right after that we kick of the film with a hilarious song and opening credits with a bunch of friends on a vacation (fishing trip basically). Most of the music in this film is incredibly out of place which makes it even funnier.
They encounter some local rednecks/hobos so you also get some funny dialogue to go along with this. Unfortunately it feels like most of the budget was shoved into the intro of the film because after that there is a pretty huge lack of blood and gore effects for most of the film.
I loved how trashy this looks and from time to time it just looks like someones home video while having a great time out on the pond (most people probably find this annoying but I found it more charming). Acting for the most part is pretty bad and the characters rather forgettable but along with that you get some hilarious dialogue. The locations are very good as well and I've always been having a soft spot for films that takes place out in nature. The biggest highlight of the film is whenever you see the mutated fish attack people (some funny blood and gore scenes). The biggest problem with the film is the running time, it would of been better it was arount 20 or 25 minutes shorter.
If you love obscure SOV flicks give this one a go since it has very special atmosphere.
My rating: 5 out of 10.
