Frankenfish is an American horror film directed by Mark AZ Dippé in 2004.
action
A torn corpse is found in the Louisiana swamps . Forensic doctor Sam Rivers and biologist Mary Callahan are sent to the swamps to investigate the cause of death. There, in a village, they meet a crowd of quirky characters (Vietnam veterans, hippies, voodoo worshipers). The research shows that huge monster fish are up to mischief in the waters, which the villagers eat one after the other. Finally a hunting expedition turns up, which takes Rivers and the two last survivors of the village on their ship. It turns out that the fish are genetically modified and are used as targets for the hunters. The hunters continue to hunt the fish and are eaten in the process. Rivers succeeds in defeating the last monster fish by making it jump into the circling ship's rotor. In the last scene you see Dan, another survivor, being eaten by newly hatched monster fish - the genetically modified fish were obviously males and females.
background
The staging about genetically modified snakehead fish , the Northern Snakeheads ( Channa argus ) introduced from Asia , is based on an incident in the small town of Crofton in the US state of Maryland - as is the case with Snakehead - The Terror of the Lake .
The animal horror film first aired on October 9, 2004 on the private US television network Sci Fi Channel . The work was released on DVD in Germany on December 14, 2004.
Reviews
The lexicon of international films wrote that the "trashy animal horror B-film" satisfied "the expectations of genre fans largely professionally" , albeit with high blood toll.
