Review of DeepStar Six (1989) by Mike E — 08 Jun 2011

I do enjoy a good underwater horror films, this one may not be the best I've seen but there's enough enjoyment to be had. It's all centered around a crew of workers stationed on the ocean floor during the construction of a nuclear launch pad when they suddenly disturb an undiscovered pre-historic creature that then turns its anger towards them.

The creature only starts to really get nasty at the one hour mark with a gruesome kill, its only kill really as the rest of the crew tend to get killed off due accidental circumstances, mostly due to the resident screw-up played by Miguel Ferrer.

There's the inevitable flooding scenes that crank up the tension and the entertaining squabbles between the crew members provide some funny moments. A decent effort overall, takes a while to get going though.
