La regina degli uomini pesce

I want to make more of the points hinted at in the previous reviews. Whereas they see certain things about this movie as a negative, I wish to make it clear that, however tedious some folk may find this, lovers of trash cinema may well find something else here. Yes, it is very sad that Martino stooped this low, but, to be fair, many other directors have done the same over the years (Lucio Fulci, Peter Jackson, etc). What I loved about this barmy pic is that it seems like it was scripted by Alan Partridge, or at least the dubbed version anyway. Yes, there is a fair bit of 'sampled' footage, especially in the first thirty minutes, and the new footage of the fishmen shows either some bad recreations or some costumes degenerated through almost twenty years of storage. No, it's not a high point for Sergio, but I enjoyed it for all the wrong reasons. The only thing it did lack was a proper helping of sleaze but I believe it was made for TV so make do with some casual racism and inappropriate teenage love.
