DeepStar Six Ratings & Reviews
- RichardOctober 12, 2025Saw 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.”
- 30QuidKidJune 29, 2025Rubbish. Save your time!
- KrisbathgateAugust 5, 2025Entertaining but the 'mistakes' to further thw plot were far too glaring and obvious.
- ርልዪረJune 27, 2025So so action/horror movie about a US deep sea base being attacked by an unknown 10 metre long creature. Pace is slow, it takes over an hour to see the monster and even then it is nothing special. Generally uninteresting characters spouting a lot of boring dialogue. Director Sean S Cunningham attempts to re-work the famous jump scare at the end of his slasher classic "Friday the 13th" but it is far less effective. Good that metric measurements are used and not imperial ones. Couple of gory scenes but that's it.
- ZokkiieJune 23, 2025It has a decent premise—military tension on an underwater rig—but it doesn't fully deliver. The setting is cool, and there are a few tense moments, but the plot is thin and the characters lack depth. Dialogue feels stiff, and the action never really takes off. It's watchable if you're into 80s thrillers, but ultimately, it’s pretty forgettable.
