This was "Humanoids From The Deep". Truly an awful worthless film. About the only enjoyment I derived from this film was the resolution of the plot. These humanoids are making a terrible nuisance of themselves, there seems no way to stop them, what do you do? Well in most science fiction, the bad creatures/aliens/etc are done in either by some discovery of science, an act of god, or some quirk of mother nature (like in War of the Worlds). What defeats the humanoids in this film? Simple, the townspeople get sick and tired of having their woman stolen and ravaged and so they band together and beat the shit out of the aliens with a bunch of 2 by 4s!
