The Kindred

Genetic hybridisation...is it ever a good idea?!

Plot: A young doctor-John Hollins (David Allen Brooks), working in research laboratory hears that his recently stricken mother is on the mend and takes to the hospital to see her. There he is informed that she had been working on splicing human and fish-type DNA to create a creature called Anthony. She pleads with him to destroy all her research, but fails to advise of the specifics he would find in her house. Taking a team of students and an attractive stranger (who happens to be studying the same field as his Ma), Hollins discovers his childhood home is now a scientists wet dream and a tentacled monstrosity roams the woods.

Look out for some excellent creature effects and a nice turn as the mad scientist by Rod Steiger.
