This looks like a Sci-Fi Channel movie at first glance, except it has just enough nudity and swearing not to be. The plot is that a medical examiner and a hot babe game warden investigate a mysterious death on the Bayou, and quickly find themselves besieged by giant snake-head fish from Asia that have been genetically engineered.The plot moves along pretty tightly and the actors are a lot of fun in their portrayals. The weakest part of the movie are the monsters themselves, which are done in extra-crappy CGI. Still an okay movie to watch and vastly better than the junk you'd normally see on Sci-Fi.There's a whole lot of illogic here, such as why would you hunt a 25 foot long monster fish in a skiff pushed by a propeller?

I really cannot understand why people compare it with Tremors or Jaws. Even for B-movie lovers as me and my family, Frankenfish is a disaster. It's very slow moving, boring and illogical. The voodoo sorcerer could have been interesting, but after all she actually did not play any meaningful role in the movie, and the audience is not sure if she really could protect people from the Frankenfishes or it was just what she believed she was able to do. Why the fishes are "made (= bred) in China" is not clear, either. The mad gun-lover and the need to come to another house without touching the ground / water are taken from Tremors, but here all this looks very far-fetched. Even Carnosaur 3 was much, much better. The jumping man-eating fishes are quite OK, but I would like more fish and less talk.

I know that sounds like a weird title, but trust me. it's not. It's about these weird CGI fish that eat people and.... that's really about it. There's really no other plot to speak of, the main character has the personality of an old tissue, while the female lead has the personality of a brick. Basically every character in this movie must be covered in chocolate, or wore a big "please eat me" sign that i must have missed. This movie is an hour and a half long and me and my friend talked for a good 45 minutes of it, and we didn't miss a thing. However, i guess i should give you a rundown.Black guy is a police medic. he goes to investigate the murder of this fisherman guy who got eaten by a fish. why there's any of his remains left, i have no idea. And of course, mr. lead goes off by himself with a biologist. Because yes. whenever "I" have a homocide case on my hands, i send out the medic. and ONLY the medic. pfff. who needs an actual cop there. Besides, the medic has a gun! because ALL medics have guns! and he has no police uniform or badge why? i guess they couldn't afford one. By the way, in case you're wondering, he never uses his medic skills to heal anyone in this movie. so why he's a medic, once again, i have no idea what the point of that was. it would have made more sense to make him a random cop. anyway, they go to investigate. there's a crazy voodoo lady, some white trash drug doers (surprise surprise) a gun happy Mexican (don't even have to make a joke there) and possibly the funniest guy in the movie, the complaining white drinker. haha....he was great. so they talk for a while....then they talk for a while....and talk some more....then we cut to an old guy getting a blow job from a random hooker as the old guy's talking to an Asian guy.... then we cut back to more talking. Now, i know what some of you are thinking, "doesn't this part have to do with a lot of character development or story?" no. no it doesn't. we missed this whole half hour talking to each other and when we looked back, we didn't miss any of the story.And this is when the people start getting systematically killed off. old guy is pulled under water, drug guy loses head, woman gets snatched outta boat, old lady gets bit in half, the usual. eventually the boat houses start to sink (oh yeah, i forgot to mention. they're all in boat houses on a bayou. fun) and then after the Mexican kills one of the fish and starts to eat it's rare cooked heart (yummy) he gets eaten by another fish. oh boy! there's more than one! and then his house catches fire and then the house shoots the biologist. yes. you read that right. the HOUSE SHOOTS THE BIOLOGIST. now those of you who saw this are saying "it was the heat from the fire that shot of the-" yeah. i know. but it's a lot more fun to say the house shot her. because it did. which was pretty amusing because you assume she would get eaten because she kept defending the fish and then she gets owned by something OTHER than the fish, it's kinda like ironic poetic justice. and the random BJ old guy comes along as several of his men (including the Asian) gets owned pretty damn quickly. The old guy kills one, and then a third owns him and we're left with the two black leads and the drinky white guy. and mr. i have no personality lead kills the mutant fish and the two leads proceed to make out for no real reason. once again. fun. But wait! what about mr drinky guy? does my favorite character get to live for once? this never happens! holy- oh. no. of course not. he gets bitten by little fish as we cut to the credits. (unenthused)yay. The main problem with this movie is, it's BORING. half of it is unnecessary explanation, and the old white guy tells you in 30 seconds what you need to know. genetic experiments. bam. you're done. so what's the other 45 minutes for? i have no idea because i wasn't paying attention because i didn't care. maybe if the main character actually had a human personality, i may have cared. but he didn't, so i don't. The only reason why this movie isn't a 1 is because the effects WERE pretty cool. other than though, it's boring and not worth your time. go rent ghoulies or something better.Frankenfish gets 2 obvious CGI trout, out of 10

It is very very poor movie.Badly written,amateur acting,badly directed,with poor CGI,but with some funny jokes.IT has some funny end entertaining moments.The actors are unknown and they aren't good at all.Some people like this trashy C movies and i would recommend this movie to them.I like horror movies,but THIS IS NOT a horror movie.It is is SCI-FI/ACTION/comedy movie.I haven't seen a funny film like this for a long,long time.It was not a complete waste of time because it was funny and occasionally entertainment.But if you are looking for a good movie don't watch this at any cost,because this is a very bad movie with very bad actors and a small budget
