The sighting of a strange figure underwater during a submarine torpedo test prompts a pair of reporters to investigate, only to be captured by the cyborg fish-men created by a mad scientist.
I enjoyed this fun sci-fi adventure from Japan, which boasts some interesting makeup effects and a catchy musical score. Though there's a load of plot holes and not much for the leading lady to do but scream in horror at regular intervals, I was willing to overlook those detriments due to the film's entertainment value. There's not much depth to the story, and the villain's motivations are never really made clear, but the set design of the underwater base is well-done, and the action-packed climax is fun to watch.
