Snakehead Terror Plot Synopsis:

Two years after the desperate attempt to eradicate the snake-head menace in Maryland's once-serene Cultus Lake, the fish population continues to decline. However, as if that weren't enough, someone thought that it would be a great idea to fill the lake with potent growth hormones to increase the lake fisheries, resulting in the creation of a mutated strain of more powerful and more ferocious aquatic predators. Now, Sheriff Patrick James and the marine biologist, Lori Dale, have to right a wrong, before the now-uncontrollable monsters decimate the entire community. Do they have what it takes to stop the snake-head terror?


Synopsis / Plot Summary: A small town, desperate to recover from hard economic times, is under threat when voracious Snakehead fish mutate and survive previous lake chemical poisonings. The fish transform from pests to predators when human growth hormones are dumped into the local lake in the hopes of reviving the local fishing industry. Thriving on the hormones, the Snakehead fish grow to monstrous proportions, devouring everything within reach. Capable of moving and eating on land, they are forced to leave the now barren lake in a desperate search for food - animal, vegetable or human.

Tagline: The fish are really biting.
