Strange and terrifying things are happening in the sleepy fishing village of Noyo. An aquaculture experiment has gone badly wrong, and its results — fishlike humanoid creatures — are coming out of the ocean looking to spawn and take their revenge. As the creatures close in on the townspeople, scientist Susan Drake and local fisherman Jim Hill try to uncover what is behind the invasion, even as the annual Salmon Festival brings the whole town together in one place.

Description

When the Wind Blows (1986)-writer Raymond Briggs' adaptation of his own graphic novel, brought to the screen by director Jimmy T. Murakami-is an enchantingly collage-like animated film (featuring drawn, stop-motion, and live-action sequences) on a very grim subject, indeed: the effects of nuclear holocaust on an ordinary English couple. James and Hilda Bloggs (perfectly voiced by acting legends John Mills and Peggy Ashcroft) are a happy, near-elderly pair living in the lovely rural countryside when-seemingly out of nowhere-disaster beyond all imagining strikes. Featuring a score by Roger Waters (late of Pink Floyd), with a title song from David Bowie and contributions from Genesis, Squeeze, and Paul Hardcastle.
