Creature from the Hillbilly Lagoon - 2007
Director: Richard Griffin

TRUE DUDES REVIEW:
Dumb shit fuckin’ hillbillies have been dumping toxic waste from a genetic research lab in the local watering hole. A group of young scientists go to check out the toxicity levels in the waters. While collecting some samples, one of the scientist is bitten by a mysterious aquatic entity lurking below the surface. Later, the aforementioned dumb shit fuckin’ hillbillies are ripped to fuckin’ shreds by the country fried creature. The hillbillies’ kin get worried about them and takes to the woods in search of their lost little hilljacks. After finding the their remains and a run-in with the creature, they decide to get the fuck out of the woods. Their paths cross with the young scientists who have just discovered that the bitten scientist is now turning into to a fish man. After discovering that an evil female scientist from the genetics lab is responsible for the bloodthirsty fish men, it’s time to get the fuck away from the water.
This is sort of like an intentionally campy Humanoids from the Deep, kind of a Humanoids from the Deep South. It’s got toxic waste, hillbillies, a shitty looking creature costume, naked chicks and lots of politically incorrect dialogue. So, it pretty much kept my attention for the eighty-five minutes it was on the screen. While it’s got some good points, it’s also got the bad: embarrassing acting, lots of continuity problems and corny fucking dialogue. At least the creature delivers some creative kills–the beer can through the heart was a nice touch.
Disc is from Shock-O-Rama. Extras include a commentary track, deleted scenes and lots of trailers from Shock-O-Rama.

If you like this review and would like to purchase the DVD go to the TDR Shop.
