What starts off well with some very colorful underwater photography becomes a non thrilling bore. This quickly disinigrates into a stereotypical conspiracy of greed as a coastal community is terrorized by giant man eating fish and even bigger man eating men. The proprietor of a local factory is upset by the present of college age ecologists who discover that the toxic waters are unhealthy, and eventually, it's discovered that it is in more ways than one. We get to see the effects of the toxidity of the local plants not only through attacks on humans but the sudden presence of gutted marine life found on the coast which reveals that there is something terrifying out there.
One-dimensional characters, either extremely noble or extremely evil, populate this film, and the subplot involving a drug produced by the factory that ends up in the food source of the community, begins a mind control theory involving the lack of the nutrients in the food that not only the humans eat but the barracudas and marine life as well. To prevent the secret of what is going on inside the factory, those under control of whatever they are consuming, officials turn to acts of violence which backfires on the factory owner.
Then there's that sound effect trying to pass off as a musical score that becomes really irritating after a while. This community may be able to be controlled, but the viewer has other options then to be manipulated by another hideously ridiculous 70's combination of science fiction, horror and political thriller that turns it's townsfolk into the walking dead, that is if they don't get eaten up by the barracudas or die from boredom from watching films like this.
