Watched a version of this movie titled "Screamers" on Tubi. I have no clue how close to the original it was.
The opening scene was gory and gave the impression that this would be an all-out blood and guts kind of B-movie. But after that, it turned into an adventure story that reminded me of a Hammer film.
The movie was worth watching for the look of the Fishmen and Barbara Bach but overall, it dragged quite a bit.
