“The Barge People” (** out of four) was a passable horror thriller set on the British countryside in which two sisters and their boyfriends (Kate Davies-Speak, Makenna Guyler, Mark McKirdy, and Matt Swales) set off for a relaxing vacation on a barge when they are suddenly besieged by mutant flesh-eating fish that turn their trip into a nightmare. Occasionally jolting and does feature a few scares but not enough to sustain a full feature-length film as movie thins out at only about an hour-and-20 minutes. “Humanoids From The Deep” and “Deep Star Six” told similar story with more camp and laughs and charge. Good music score by Sam Benjafield.
