Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Nothing was on tonight so I watched this movie and was absolutely blown away by the poor production numbers the mind-numbing acting and clichéd script. I hope any money made on this movie goes directly the the screenwriter of Jaws2 as the movie literally was taken from this movie. It was so bad that the prospect of shovelling snow outside in -25 temperatures was an option taken... The only highlight was the flimsy wardrobe given to Carol Alt, who is still smoking hot...Must have put the budget at $20.00 at the local Value Village. As for Bruce Boxleitner he must have done it for the money because his performance was a phone in job if I have ever seen one and for the supporting cast my goodness they were very amateurish I have seen better performances in watching paint dry as it was less painful than the acting presented.

This film is just laughable. i don't have to spend half an hour watching it to know what's going to happen. it wasn't boring, just predictable, and at times, funny. The story is as follows; a Small American town surrounding cultus lake (which is actually in Chilliwack, British Columbia, where i live, which is half the reason i wanted to comment on this film) has a problem. The snakehead fish, an aggressive hunting fish native to china, has taken over most of cultus lake. the government of the small town decides to poison the lake and kill off the snakeheads to avoid any further problems. there is a further problem. some of the snakeheads survive. Without knowing that, someone dumps growth hormones into the lake so other fish can repopulate quicker. however, who gets most of the hormones? the snakeheads. and yes, they certainly do populate quicker...The true story behind snakeheads is thanks to some stupid Chinese guy who immigrated to north America. He brought his pet snakeheads with him. once they got too big, he dumped them into the great lakes, hoping the problem would be over. it got way worse. snakeheads can really travel over land, so they started heading south for warmer waters. they've been reported as far south as Baltimore, Maryland.As for this film, regular horror junkies will agree it's very predictable. The scene where the 2 girls and the boy finding the cabin is more than evident, cause the scene goes as follows;Girl 1: (banging on window) mister! open the door! (old man doesn't move) Girl 2: the door's open! Girl 1: boy, it stinks in here. Girl 2: mister? (Girls discover man's legs are now down to blood and bone. boy goes into another room and finds someone else being eaten by snakeheads in closet, with their mouth wide open, as if they were screaming.)yes, it's a predictable film, but worth a rental if you like those kinds of movies.4/10

A shocker in ever sense of the word, even the usually fit biologist looked like she'd fallen asleep with a bot-ox needle stuck in her face, I couldn't work out most of the film, like the 'shock' on peoples faces when they saw something, but we (the viewer) didn't get to see, like the insides of the snakeheads gut's on the pier, the old bloke in the chair etc. etc. unless i was just watching a cut version but I cant believe they would bother cutting this tripe. The lake was nice and pretty but basically that was the only thing worth watching about this pathetically lame film. If a snake head fish started crawling after me I'd boot it in the head. There is no way any snakehead fish could kill me, the one that looked like a whale at the end might have a go but lets be honest you're never going to get snakehead fish that big. If they were going to include a monster snakehead fish the size of a whale at the finale why didn't they have it do something, like rear up out of the water and swallow someone like miss bot-ox? All the giant snakehead did was bang into the jetty a couple of times like can't you see the jetty pal.. oh please don't bang into the jetty its so frightening, I could have picked it off with a catapult. I quite like monster films but prefer them not to be made into comedies, it just feels like everyone involved in movies like this are in it for one thing, money, not credibility and certainly not to provide viewer satisfaction.

No way, a small seaside resort, some lethal murder fish killing innocent campers, fishers and tourists, an old sheriff and lots of underwater hassle... no, not Jaws, Part 26 again, but Snakehead, a new kind of killer fish, is striking this time.The monster is a bunch of chemically mutilated shellfish with Piranha teeth that can also live underwater as creeping on land and kills everything from dogs to curious campers or stupid, drunken teenagers during their funny beach parties... and now it's Sheriff Bruce Boxleitner's turn to fight the creeping death and a skeptical mayor, accompanied by beautiful Carol Alt.Okay, there are some really thrilling and shocking moments, but also too many fish horror standards from classics like Jaws up to contemporary copies like Lake Placid (such as point-of-view cameras and even a rip-off of John Williams' Jaws theme). Some moments are even too ridiculous and over the top and would rather fit into a Scary Movie comedy, just like a bunch of killer fish (that sometimes look like snakes or mini alligators) attacking the driver of a car or some girls in a block house by eating wholes into the wood. But if you are out for some simple underwater horror action, this flick is for you.
