Humanoids From the Deep (1980)

Love this Corman sleaze masterpiece. The tent attack scene on the beach with the ventriloquist dummy doing a double take all by itself is a hoot.

Fuck the neutered remake.

There's a remake?

Why am I asking? Of course there's a remake.

I saw this on cable in A School just after getting out of boot camp. There's nothing for a bunch of guys coming out of living in a barracks with dozens of other guys like watching girls get raped by sea monsters. It was a bonding moment.

Doug McClure soundly defeats serial rapist fishmen and racism in the same film; do we really need anymore evidence that he was a titan among men? I think not.

Yes, but it's far inferior to the first masterpiece.

Saw this at a drive in on a double bill with Foul Play (the Chevy Chase/Goldie Hawn comedy) when I was 16, with my sister and brother in law. The seamonster rapes were one thing, but the baby sea monster birth at the end? Fucked up stuff.

I've heard of some fucked up drive-in double features, but that one takes the cake.

Gruesome monsters, girls in bikinis, baby mutants, terrible dialogue, and Doug McClure?

Yes, please!

And naive! We had absolutely no idea what was coming, because Foul Play was the first movie.

Actually, we brought their dog along with us, and my sister and brother in law were in the front seat with their popcorn, and I was in the back with the dog, feeding her bits of my popcorn. So when [spoiler] the Humanoid baby rips up through the girl's stomach and breasts as it's being born? [spoiler] I just turned to the dog and was like, "Okay, you can have the rest of the popcorn."

This guy nails it. The remake sucks it.

I'm still trying to get over this being paired with Foul Play.

I think HftD might be the rapin-est movie ever.

Aside from the stiff leg work from the guys in the suits, that is some excellent creature work. A better director would have made this more than a just a sleaze classic.

This is the thing about modern horror remakes that I really don't understand. Why remake a gore/exploitation film if you're going to tone it down? Do these filmmakers think that audiences of the time went in hoping for more plot and character, and were disappointed to get only sex and violence? Do they not understand the appeal of the original at all?

We talking quantity or quality? Quality wise, "Galaxy of Terror" might be the winner (or loser?)

Really, it's hard to beat Urotsukidoji for sheer rape count.

Rapin-est American film then? Has AFI made that list yet?

No, but when they do, they'll probably cheat and include non-American films anyway.

Exactly! It was made for Showtime so it's not like they didn't have the freedom to be disgusting. Sex and violence will always be the top draw for movies like this; two things that will never go out of style. If you can't outdo it, don't touch it. Imagine some idiot attempting to remake John Carpenter's "The Thing", with this mentality.

Let's go with entertaining rape. Realism is not a requirement.

I think I Spit On Your Grave has that beat that if we're talking pure screen time.

You beat me to the punch on that one. Cannibal Holocaust has quite a bit as well though I don't think as much "Spit". Also, Alien vs. Predator manages to showcase a full-on raping of two classic franchises for over an hour and a half without stopping or pulling away. Watching it made me physically ill.

But it's only one rape. Just go ahead and put The Accused on the list too.

Yes but would he take the victim to an Olive Garden? And more to the point: would they still be alive?


Someone please tell me they get the references.

Yeah, but it's one rape that goes on for something like 65 minutes. It's seriously 2/3 of the entire film.

The Accused would stink if it weren't for the wonderfully catchy chant, "1, 2, 3, 4.....Poke that pussy till it's sore!"

If I had a dollar for every time I've quoted that, I'd be able to pay the hospital bills I racked up from quoting that.
