Completely awful in all ways

Sex/Nudity

A women is topless while giving birth to an aquanoid, a couple topless swimming scenes, theirs is a clothed sex scene, and a topless sex scene seen from behind.

Final Thoughts

Another case of York Entertainment producing an good plot and cover art, but screwing up most everything else. The acting is awful, but that really doesn't bother me in this type of movie, what did bother me is that the only time we ever see the creature is when the woman gives birth to a baby, all the attacks happen with the creature of screen. Though altogether the dialogue, was generally bad, there where a few scenes that where creative and funny. A good premise gone bad, but still not the worst movie I've seen, and if your hard up it may be worth watching, but there a lot better b-movie trash out there, including ones (which are mentioned in the dialogue of the movie) that have essentially the same premise.
