I first saw this years back on Sony Pix tv channel. Revisited it recently. I like horror n action films set in the bayou n swamps, especially Lousiana.

This is not bad for a tv movie. It has plenty of gore n kills. Simon Barrett is the writer of this film n this film n Dead Birds were his initial foray into horror films. Later he wrote many horror films. But as the poster claims, from the director (Mark A.Z. Dippé) of Spawn. Well, Spawn is his only good effort before this n after Frakenfish he went downhill. But his experience in special effects is noteworthy n this film does boast of some cool effects.

Also the poster is a rip off of Anaconda n whatever has been shown on the poster of this film, nothing like that happens in the entire film. In fact the lead actor never removes his shirt.

The film is about a genetically enhanced snakehead fish. Basically a voracious fishzilla trying to topple the croc, alligator, shark n piranha genre films. There is scene where a *ucktard stands so close to an edge knowing that there is an aquatic predator lurking in the water. We have a bad ass Ricardo, a war veteran who manages to get the the giant fish outside water so that viewers may have a glimpse of it.

It has some tits, especially that of the hottie Noelle Evans (Elizabeth Shue lookalike). I think she retired. Checked her Instagram n found her to be happily married, enjoying her bike riding.

The only actors recognizable r Tomas Arana Mark Boone Jr.
