Where to Watch The Rift
- ZokkiieJune 26, 2025This could’ve been a fun underwater sci-fi romp, but it’s mostly a mess. The idea—a crew sent to find a missing submarine—has potential, but the awful acting kills any tension or excitement. The effects are okay for a low-budget ‘90s flick, and there are a few decent monster moments, but the cast delivers their lines like they're half-asleep. Even R. Lee Ermey seems bored. Unless you’re a fan of cheesy B-movies or just want something to laugh at, this one’s best left at the bottom of the ocean.
