Yappy yuppies vs. giant mutant ichthyoids? The winner: audiences everywhere.
It's not funny because it's true. It's scary because it's true. Based on the snakehead fish incident in a Crofton, Maryland pond, Frankenfish is a made for TV movie from the Sci-Fi channel. This film is one of two movies based on this real life incident, the other being the more successful Snakehead Terror.
Directed and co-written by Mark Dippé (former Industrial Light & Magic animator and director of Spawn (1997)) Frankenfish is centered deep in the Louisiana bayou where the eating is good. The only problem is: Man is on the menu. That is, if yuppies are in same biological category as humans. And if years of watching bad b-movies has taught America anything it's that yuppies have got it comin'. In spades.
