Review by Brian Harris
A small group of eco-friendly college students head out to the
backwoods to run some tests on the local water supply when the trip
goes horribly wrong. A group of hillbillies are being chased by some
kind of mutant fish-man and both groups find themselves on the run,
fighting together in order to survive.
When the "cavalry" is called in to contain the situation they also
become moving targets! All hell done broke loose in the hills
t'night I tell ya what!!
Wow, this was a shitload of fun. The monsters in this were
excellent, they reminded me of C.H.U.D., the gore was gross and
meaty and there were sister humpin' inbred hillbillies! Throw in
some garish lighting and zany comic-style animated cell sequences
ala Creepshow and a pierced, tattooed hottie and you've got yourself
Creature from the Hillbilly Lagoon!
After seeing this I'd say I'm definitely looking forward to
Griffin's upcoming film, The Dunwich Horror.
