Barracuda (1978)

Directed by Harry Kerwin and Wayne Crawford
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Dark Sky Films)

A marine biologist stumbles on a government experiment in a small Florida town. People are acting strangely, fish are dying and human bodies, or at least their heads, are washing up on the beach. The barracudas are almost an afterthought. Good underwater photography and an electronic soundtrack by Klaus Schulze give this some punch, but the acting is subpar and there are long, boring stretches of scientific nonsense that undermine credibility.
