Humanoids from the Deep (1980)
Some very disturbing things are happening in the small fishing town of Noyo, California. A fishing boat blows ups without warning, the town’s dog population mysteriously winds up dead, and several residents seem to up and disappear out of thin air.

The canning company, Canco (no really, that’s the name) has even sent some VIPs to the town to drum up support, including one of its own scientists.
