Horrible monster

Deep Rising (1998)

Written and directed by Stephen Sommers this film stars Treat Williams, Famke Janssen, Kevin J. O'Connor and Anthony Heald. Smugglers and mercenaries end up trapped on a cruise liner with a sea monster.

Essentially the script of this film steals from a lot of places but is mostly a third rate Alien (1979) knock off. Like many 90s action films this film does not have any character arcs, character motivations that make sense or much personality either. When it comes to the monster the film relies heavily on early CGI that is not really up to the job it was being asked to do at this point.


1/5
