The film includes a brief clip from Corman’s The Little Shop of Horrors. Meanwhile, the local bar is named Kormann’s and includes a flashing neon sign: “cheap”). The film’s working title was apparently Sssslither.

Reviews:
Mildly amusing dialogue during the first hour is agreeable and we’re in monster movie cliche central, which is fine as long as we’re all board. Alas, from then on, there’s simply not enough CGI eel attacks – or even a convincingly nasty critter on show – to make this one a winner. It’s a shame, because with a little more beastie action this could have been a contender like Frankenfish rather than a loser like Snakehead Terror.
