This 1980 film from Roger Corman tells the story of a fishing town in northern California that finds itself under attack by humanoid sea creatures who are after both violence and sexual encounters—it’s almost as if they're asking, "Where are all these white women?" Doug McClure portrays Jim Hill, the main character, while Anthony Pena appears as Johnny Eagle, an individual facing discrimination. The monsters bear a resemblance to the Gill-man from “Creature from the Black Lagoon” (1954), though they have larger heads, sharper teeth, unusually long arms, and substantial tails. The atmosphere and general feel are comparable to films like "Prophecy" (1979) and "The Fog" (1980). However, “Humanoids from the Deep” incorporates a storyline involving sexual assault and displays female nudity, primarily partial exposure, although one woman is shown completely nude on a beach. Among the actresses, Cindy Weintraub, with her curves, makes an impression as Jim Hill’s wife, as does Lynn Theel, who also has a full figure; both are notably attractive—you won't find any stereotypical thin blondes with fake breasts here. There are several other women who are worth noting too. Ann Turkel takes on the role of the expected marine scientist. The concluding scene, intended to be surprising, is executed effectively but borrows heavily from “Alien” (1979). It’s a familiar concept that's been handled more successfully elsewhere. The film has a running time of one hour and twenty minutes and was filmed in the Fort Bragg region of Northern California. A remake appeared in 1996, starring Emma Samms and Robert Carradine.
