my colleague at work often question my taste in film represent they can not understand why i waste my time champion low budget horror when i could be watch the late blockbuster to wow the mass at the local multiplex . after watch aquanoids and i be begin to wonder why i bother myself . set on a small island off the californian coast and aquanoids star laura nativo a vanessa and a beautiful diver who and after be attack by a hideous fish man and attempt to warn the local of the danger that lurk in the surrounding water . this upset the nasty official of the island and who be afraid that vanessa will scare away tourist and upset plan for the building of a shopping complex . a shoddy mish mash of theme and idea steal from the like of jaw and humanoid from the deep and and the creature from the black lagoon and aquanoids be absolutely awful in almost every way imaginable represent the direction be clumsy and amateurish while the script be childish and poorly write and and highly unoriginal while the editing show no hint of restraint and utilising every gimmicky fade and wipe and split screen effect possible while the monster make up and gore be cheap and laughable while the special effect be unconvincing while and the acting be uniformly awful . even some welcome female nudity can not stop this one from be a total waste of time . whilst watch this lamentable mess and i notice that one character have the surname mcclure and whilst another be name brucepossible reference to actor doug mcclure ( from humanoid from the deep ) and bruce the shark ( from jaw ) . there be also a scene where several character discuss their favourite watery monster movie and mention deep star six and leviathan and tentacle and alligator 2 and roger corman in the process . this lead me to believe that the maker of aquanoids be genuine fan of horror and b movie . if this be the case and then those involve should hang their head in shame for give u this abysmal addition to the genre .
