No fiendishly fission formed, sinisterly scaled screen monster has ever slayed quite so splendidly as fearfully foamy, deep sea sadist Slithis! Luridly lurching out of the suppurating canal detritus like some slitherously spawned, hungrily skin-shredding savage, the degenerated Venice beach denizens are all grimly destined for a moist despicably Slithic Doom! Since this murderously mutated, bloodthirsty bipedal behemoth has morbid appetites infinities beyond your wildest imaginings! Half man, half fish, and fully fiendish! Slithis is 100% pure terror!!! This monstrously macabre manifestation of grossly mutated meat is one of the more anthropologically antisocial, ecologically evangelising 1970s schlockers! 'Slithis' remains a global warning for all mankind, since our rabidly toxic, incautiously consumerist culture has fatefully self-initiated its very own sewer-spawned apocalypse!!!!! And Creature feature impresario Stephen Traxler's perversely prescient, atomically astringent anti-hero 'Slithis' is far more than we callow celluloid sinners deserve! In this fright-lite, miserably mediocre, garbage-garlended epoch, the vengefully cruel cryptid 'Slithis' is still righteously 'taking out' the trash! 'Take care, it's gill or be killed in the 1970s silt-suckingly slimy slug-fest 'Slithis!'

Stephen Traxler's "Slithis" somewhat reminded me "Humanoids from the Deep".A gill-man body is made from radioactive mud.This strange monster is butchering dogs and people in Venice,Los Angeles.The police is not helpful in solving the case claiming that the murders are the work of Mansonesque cult."Slithis" is an enjoyable monster movie,but it can be extremely dull is spots.There is not enough Slithis attacks in the movie.There is very little going on in the first hour of "Spawn of the Slithis" and I was bored.However the monster suit is excellent and it should be shown more often.The acting is terrible with vapid performances of an entire cast,but "Spawn of the Slithis" doesn't deserve its current low rating.That's why I am gonna give it 7 out of 10.

SPAWN OF THE SLITHIS is a typical man-in-a-suit monster flick, as low budget as they come but with a handful of fun, cheesy monster attack sequences which feel like they're from an updated CREATURE WITH THE BLACK LAGOON. Unfortunately, the film stalls whenever the creature isn't around - which is for the majority of the running time - with a talky minor-conspiracy storyline, and lacking the humour and drive of a studio flick like Dante's PIRANHA from the same era. Even Corman's HUMANOIDS FROM THE DEEP is a lot more fun and B-movie friendly than this slow-paced and insignificant effort.
