From the Ocean Depths They Strike...To Terrorize...To Mate...And To Kill!

After a new cannery introduces scientifically augmented salmon to a seaside town in the Pacific Northwest, a species of mysterious, mutated sea creatures begin killing the men and raping the women.
In Humanoids from the Deep, consciousness is carried by monsters and creatures — a plane of “mutated sea monster horror”. The story fights on E8/E9 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing exploitation, environment, violence, greed, sexuality.
Films fighting at the same level of reality, about the same things.
The same preoccupations examined at another scale — one mind versus a nation.
Other films that change a standing rule of their world — ranked first by those bending it at the same rung.
