Product Description

Mutated Snakehead fish become deadly predators in a small Northeastern town when they become capable of moving on land, with a small population becoming its newest food source. With the help of the Department of Natural Resources, the local sheriff (Bruce Boxleitner) investigates the killings and searches for his missing daughter, last seen on a lake with her friends. Packed with relentless monster action on water and dry land, Snakehead Terror proves you could be next on the menu!

If you are like really really starving for a b-creature-feature movie then watch it. Its hard to make out in the whole movie what that creature really looked like!! its ok. When a police and arrogant mayor is involved i somehow like it!

When I saw the movie was a production of Artsy Fartsy Pictures, I knew this had to be a gem. Takes place among the snow capped mountains of Maryland, and has growling fish. Yes, a low budget B-movie with so-so special effects. And maybe so-so is generous. The plot is tired, with a small town needing a boost in tourism to survive, since the snakeheads (and all other fish) were poisoned several years earlier, and the fish have not come back. And human growth hormone poured into the lake to enhance the fish population, and done during daylight hours, no less. The movie proves one thing. The black guy will always get it. There is an interesting car crash, where the doors popped open after the crash. The dialogue is about what one would expect from a low budget movie, and in many ways the fish were smarter than some of the people. The ending of the movie becomes a bit manic and not really believable, but then this is not a documentary. It is about what a B-movie is expected to deliver, but not a great B movie. Although having a snakehead be the size of a whale, it strives to deliver.

Misrepresentation of Facts

The snakehead "invasion" in Maryland is the species Channa Argus or Northern Snakehead. The reason the Northern Snakehead is "invasive" is because it is able to over winter in freezing water temperatures. This is the only snakehead that is able to survive in freezing water. They do not get as big as the Red Snakehead or Giant Snakehead. In the beginning of the movie, there is a part of a newscast that mentions "there are no known predators against the snakeheads"... NOTE: ANY baby fish is food for the bigger fish. That means that the bass, the blue gills and whatever else fish that lives in the lake will eat the babies of the snakehead, even if they are protected by the mother. FISH are naturally voracious and predatory. So to proclaim that there are no known predators is a not true.
Also, although snakeheads can slither in land, they must be kept damp, wet... in order to slide from side to side. If the ground becomes dry, the fish will start to get dry dirt attached to it's skin that it will eventually suffocate and die. How do I know this ? I was born in a country where this fish came from and known this fish since child hood. Observed it many times in their own natural habitat. Although I have never encountered a three (3) foot snakehead, I have seen some that is about 18 inches. And they are as scared of humans just like other animals. They do not attack humans, more like they would take off to avoid contact. Along with snakeheads in the lake, there are also Tilapia, perch, catfish, and angel fish, and gouramis... so I do not understand why scientist are threatened by the presence of this fish. In fact, some friends I know in Maryland enjoy catching this fish via lures and bait. The fight is better than bass. As for the taste, the meat is white and flaky.. and very tender. I would love to have this fish in my possession again but I doubt it will ever be listened to and allowed.

No Basis in Reality

This has been on the Sci Fi channel a number of times and each time that I watch it I find it hilarious. The producers of the film took a real story from Maryland and created this incredible, over the top movie which in my mind is a parody of actual events. How you can change a sub division retention pond into a mountain lake, the bad guys transporting containers marked HGH (Human Growth Hormones) in huge letters (seemed they were getting the institutional size from Sam's Club) and the complete lack of knowledge exibited by the script writers concerning, biology, geography and fisheries is so horrible that it is funny. And the characters, you have Bruce Boxleitner as the sheriff, and Carol Alt as the fisheries biologist (very striking in her hip boots and her big electric gun (used to combat the northern pike invasion in another body of water). The movie is very entertaining but has absolutely no basis in reality. I probably will purchase this when the price comes down under $10.

Had no idea that this thing is real. OF COURSE ITS A MOVIE, but the idea that a fish could become so vicious and take over lakes is crazy right. If you are online, check out this bad guy. Makes a person wonder about end of days.

A Must Have!

When i look for B Monster movies I typically look for "Genetic mutation or Engineering" that makes the average animal something monstrous, This movie REALLY delivers with all the B Monster movie thrills of sometimes downright "Silly" monster attacks and scenes. The animation is what you would expect in a Sci Fi Original and also the "acting" is fun to watch.

LOVED this movie and its a nice addition to my B Monster Movie Collection.

As I have stated in other reviews, my Wife loves monster movies. This is a typical one that has bad acting and bad direction, but if you like monsters, it is worth watching.
