nice

I bought this for the sum of 25 dollars in Denmark, Copenhagen where I am from. That's a pretty expensive DVD. I cannot say that I was greatly amused or pleased by the movie. It's just that when the latest "anaconda" clone comes out I've just got to see it. I guess this genre goes way back to The Creature of the Black Lagoon which was a very effective movie. Certainly Frankenfish is worth seeing for people who cannot wait for the next "Congo" or "Piranhas" to come out. The CGI in Frankenfish is neatly balanced with non-CGI's which should be the future of horror, I think. For a little bonus there's a hot Asian and African-American women in this movie. Therefore, I must say, among other reasons, it is not at all bad.

like i have said before in other postings, my best friend and i pride ourselves in watching terrible terrible movies. we did not fail. when we were in blockbuster and we saw frankenfish, we HAD to rent it. this is one of the worst movies that i have ever seen in my entire life. for starters, there were countless scenes that had absolutely NO point to further the movie along. the fish looked like crap! it was one of the stupidest special effects i've ever seen. and when the fish was on land (because they can breath above water also) it looked like a midget in a foam rubber suit...except minus the bonus of actually having a midget to put in the foam rubber suit. and there are some Seriously stupid scenes. for example, at one point in the movie, they have just watched the frankenfish come out of the water, bit a man's head off, breech and kill that mans wife, they drag his headless body into the water. but a different character goes into the bathroom on the house boat to wash the blood off of her clothes. the blood mixes with the water and goes out of the drainage pipe. the frankenfish smells the blood and comes back for another attack. now think, if there are already TWO dead and bloody bodies in the water...why or how would that even attract them. there is already way to much blood in the water anyway. that would NOT bring back the frankenfish. and another logic argument. the frankenfish is supposed to be a genetically altered fish that had been bred with a snake. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO BREED A FISH TO A SNAKE?!?!?!?! you can't do it out of water because the fish would die and you can't do it below water or else the fish would drown. it's just not possible. even if you are a middle aged evil rich white male super villain with a hott girlfriend. this movie was terrible, god awful, and completely not worth the money my friend spent to rent it....but it was pretty funny.

If have seen the movie, with some friends of mine. One of them actually fell asleep during the movie. And actually I don't know why i finished the movie. But I am not all negative about the movie, the scenes when the fish came out of the water where good. The special effects where very good. The scenes where the characters dies are also very nice and gore to watch. But if I may have one other negative point, it was the ending, so lame. I don't hope that the makers will make a Frankenfish 2. So overall I will give the movie a 2.2 It's nice to watch the movie with a lot of beer

This film is called Frankenfish...FRANK-EN-FISH??? Stupid titles can bring a movie down often...but in this case, the title fits the crime perfectly. A ridiculously stupid title for a ridiculously stupid film. I am all for the B movie, I am all for cable movies, but this doesn't fit in any category that can give it any redeeming qualities whatsoever. These actors surely must have been picked off of the street or out of an office building. The story...and I use that word very lightly is a man is killed in the Bayou mysteriously while poaching fish. A medical examiner and his host/tour guide into the Bayou drift down stream to investigate the murder and see if they can figure out what did it. They stumble upon a small community of house boats where the poacherman lived with his wife and friends. They question the inhabitants and low and behold they are stalked and systematically killed by three gigantic fish, each one bigger than the last. The killing seems cool and very gruesome but after the third of fourth death scene you'll be begging for something different. The monster is typically a cool idea, it's something slightly different from the Jaws shark or Anaconda idea but the story is so incredibly bad, and the acting so pitiful you beg for them all to die. Some bad movies can be so bad they are good, check out my review on Cellular or see the Evil Dead series but this movie just isn't good, there is barely anything to comment positive about it. I can barely believe director Mark A.Z. Dippé was involved in any way with such films as Back To The Future, Terminator or Jurassic Park. How could he go so wrong? Lead actor Tory Kittles who plays Medical examiner Sam Rivers...note the pun...looks so completely out of place and put a gun in his hand and he looks like Marilyn Manson in the Vatican. The story, it may seem original but is so clichéd which is not always bad but in this case it's rotten. Skip this one altogether, it's not worth the time. The most hilarious worst line ever delivered in a film goes to this movie and I quote..."You look great for a girl covered in giant fish brains." UGH!! 2/10

It's the name that does it. Not only does it fail to make sense in context, it just plain doesn't work. If they really wanted to go with some kind of Franken-animal they could have at least picked something that started with 'st', like... a stoat. Frankenstoat. Studios, are you listening? Anyway. Against all odds Frankenfish is actually no worse a giant mutant creature romp than, say, Anaconda - I'd even go so far as to say it could have made a passable cinema release. Everything (with the standard exception of logic) is handled competently, from the acting to the effects, and the tiny bayou community setting of the whole thing actually feels quite novel. It's not even entirely predictable, I guarantee you won't see at least one of the deaths coming... It's also a fine film for playing Name The Actor They *Really* Wanted. Robert Downey Jr. and Michael Wincott are lock-ins, while Anaconda veteran Jon Voight would have been a fine choice to play the hunter (who is, as it turns out, the most rubbish hunter in the world). Come to think of it, if they'd asked Jon Voight he'd probably have said yes - he usually does. Overall, it's a surprisingly not-awful piece of work, which still manages to be entertaining despite its not-awfulness. I wouldn't say I'd recommend it, exactly, but you could do worse. Sci-Fighter, for instance. Now THAT's genuinely awful film-making (and as such comes highly recommended).

Look at the title of the film and nothing good can come of this. Who came up with this name? He should be fired. The writers have studied Jaws and tried to make an own version it seems. Big Chinese fish are the stars this time. It is just a shame that the writers didn't try to take the film as the name. Not serious I mean. The actors do a miserable job (with miserable lines I must say), the environment is not convincing and the fish are a joke. I looks like a crossing between Jaws and Tremors sometimes. It just isn't good enough and too cliché to pass on for a good film. The ending is just terrible and it is clear that this is just a B-film. Too bad the writers and director didn't put in something of their own. Then you could laugh en enjoy the stupidity and it would be more original. Now it is somewhat stupid. This is one of those movies you watch with your friends while having a beer night and irritate and laugh a bit on the film. Although I wanted to see how it ended, so they did something right. I give it 4 stars.

This reminded me of two movies: "Tremors" and "Anaconda," but this film was a Class B version and cross between those two "higher class" movies. This film had no known actors - and it showed - and the dialog was pretty stupid, too (not that it was intelligent in those other films.) However, I have to admit the killer fish were cool. The special-effects on them were very good. These suckers were ugly, scary and life-like. Since most of the humans in this film were unappealing to me, I rooted for the fish. There were several of them, pretty good-sized and pretty tough to stop. This also was like those sci-fi films of the '50s with the genetically-altered spiders or ants or whatever, making something many times larger and deadly. Here, it was some fish in the Bayou swamps. Some of the action scenes were shocking and were, frankly, the best part of the film. Don't expect much for the first 35 minutes, but once it kicks in, it gets pretty intense. The language is profane; the people (except for the hero, of course) are pretty scuzzy and stupid. Recommended for those who want to be frightened for an hour and aren't discriminating about the quality of their film-watching!
