This soggy underwater "epic" just doesn't fall flat, it reaches new lows of horror movie depths and keeps submerging itself into its own murky abyss. Originally, it was made to compete with DeepStar Six and Leviathan, and even those movies were quickly forgotten after James Cameron's The Abyss. But ouch... this movie is REALLY REALLY bad.
This movie has ZERO redeeming qualities. Just a wet mess with some actors nobody cares about, a rubber suit that substitutes for a monster and FX so bad, they were outlawed in the 70s. The acting is atrocious, the directing is a joke, the editing is a mess. Actually this movie looks a lot like something from the 1950-60's rather than updated FX from 1989. It is indeed deserving of the classic "Direct-to-video" moniker that describes many sci/fi movies as flat Velveeta cheese.
