Frankenfish (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Frankenfish is a 2004 creature horror movie dealing with genetically engineered fish in the bayou. The film was based on the snakehead fish incident in a Crofton, Maryland, pond. It is one of two movies based on the incident, the other being Snakehead Terror. This movie begins with a fisherman pulling up and emptying crab cages from the riverbed. While checking on his cages, he notices a buoy bobbing and drifting. Reaching out to catch it, he is quickly dragged into the water and savaged by an underwater presence. Medical examiner Sam Rivers, and biologist Mary Callahan, are sent into the deep bayou to investigate the death. Having grown up in the area, Sam is immediately comfortable in his surroundings, while Mary is noticeably less sure of herself. They happen across an older man, Elmer, noodling for catfish in the swamp canals - he captures the fish by making it bite his fist, then lifting it from the water. While Sam is impressed, Mary looks disgusted.
