Investigating the death of one of her son's companions after a scuba-diving drip, Anna Kimbrough breaks into the morgue with holidaymaker Tyler Sherman, only to discover that the fish have wings and can fly.

DIRECTOR: James Cameron (The Terminator). | |||||||||||||||
| WRITER: H.A. Milton. | ||||||||||||||||
| - Credit for directing this film was given to Cameron. Most of the work was actually performed by Ovidio G. Assonitis, the film's producer and prolific filmmaker. Assonitis was dissatisfied with Cameron's progress after the first week and took over. According to "Dreaming Aloud," a biography of Cameron by Christopher Heard, Cameron did do the shooting for this movie, but was not allowed to see his footage and was not involved in editing. He broke into the editing room and cut his own version, but was caught and Assonitis re-cut it again. | PRODUCERS: Chako van Leeuwen and Jeff Schechtman. | |||||||||||||||

| CRITICAL COMMENT | ||||||||||||||||
| "Silly horror film...you'd have to be psychic to have spotted any talent from director Cameron in his debut picture; he made The Terminator next and hit the big time." -- Leonard Maltin | ||||||||||||||||
