Crazy credits
In the rolling end credits: "The Producers assure that no fish or humans were harmed (much) in the making of this motion picture. All animals and crew were treated with care and concern for their well-being." Also, "This motion picture has been inspired by true events. Characters and incidents in this film are fictitious. Any resemblance to actual events, locales, persons or fish, living or dead, is entirely coincidental."

Terrifyingly Bad

Yet another mutant killer fish movie. The twist this time is that they can walk on land. Gasp! What could be scarier than an overgrown, flesh eating carp dragging itself through the mud after its intended victim? Just about anything else actually.

Tired format of decent sheriff (conveniently single) teaming with smart (and sexy of course) biologist to defeat the threat, while trying to convince the hard headed mayor to close the lake etc. etc. You've seen it all before, and way better in Jaws, Piranha and so forth.

Lame special effects, poor lighting, bad acting, annoying teens...need I go on? Not an original, frightening or worthwhile moment in the whole mess.
