Saw this one on a movie channel ages ago and yeah it’s not great, but it’s also not bad.
It’s one of those underwater creature flicks that came out around the same time as The Abyss and Leviathan, but with way less budget and way more B-movie energy.
You’ve got a deep-sea military base, a prehistoric monster and a crew of walking stereotypes just waiting to get picked off.
The pacing’s slow, takes forever to even see the creature, but once it shows up, it’s got that rubbery, late ‘80s charm.
It’s the kind of movie you half watch while folding laundry, then realize you’re actually kind of into it.
Not memorable, not essential, but if you’re into retro sci-fi horror with a splash of nuclear panic and decompression gore, it scratches the itch.
Watch it once, maybe twice.
Then file it under “decent creature feature with a soggy heart.”
