Something evil is happening in the sleepy fishing village of Noyo. Fishlike humanoid creatures, spawned by mutant DNA, begin rising from the ocean looking to mate with the local women. Scientist Susan Drake (Ann Turkel) along with local fisherman Jim Hill (Doug McClure) seek to investigate the cause of this invasion of creatures from the ocean floor. But when the annual Salmon Festival begins, some unwanted guests arrive to crash the festivities. Swimming in gore and gratuitous nudity, HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP updates the classic drive-in creature feature for the era of grindhouse sleaze.
