DeepStar Six

A pretty crummy late-era Cold War nuclear fears film. It cribs aggressively from Alien and Aliens, which is really only interesting to me in leading to my thinking about how much Alien actually draws from submarines itself.

Perfectly serviceable monster movie. Sean Cunningham delivers exactly what you want, with just enough gore and bad ends for people.

As far as 80's horror goes this one isn't too bad. It's got some very memorable deaths, especially the one immortalized on the movie poster. The trademark "non-monster but detriment to the team" is actually half believable instead of just literally terrible at absolutely everything (though let's be honest he is pretty terrible at almost everything). Even so, for a low budget horror flick that feels like Alien-except-under-the-sea it manages to entertain.

18-6-2012 just not my kind of genre

While not as good of a movie as Leviathan or Abyss it's still a hell of a lot of fun. The characters are all very likable and the story is fast paced. The monster looks like a throwback combination of Ray Harryhausen and Roger Corman.

Not too bad, but there's very little monster, and very much other stuff. The monster sucks though and wish it would be more threatening. Still the other situation is threatening enough

I've often seen this film mistaken as being superior to Leviathan. It is not. It is painfully not. Leviathan isn't exactly a masterpiece, but at least it has a cast. The talent for Deepstar was offscreen with the director of Friday the 13th (which I maintain is a positive) and the producer of a boatload of awesome. What surprised me most was the soundtrack, which seems to have been lifted for the recent Prometheus. Btw the third sea movie of the period was The Abyss. I hated The Abyss.

I dont know why folks are saying leviathan is better, better PRODUCED sure, better actors and effects etc, but there is WAY more going on in this one, and its way more ambitious in the amount of things going on and events presented etc. A lot more going on here compared to the bare bones presentation of Leviathan. A lot of the graphics are cheesy in this, and a bit of the acting just a tad, but overall, actually a decent flick. better than leviathan. Needed more monster time though.

Viewed October 12, 2021. Reasonably entertaining movie about an underground nuclear base being attacked by a monster. Miguel Ferrer is well-cast as the hapless captain, all of the environments look pretty cool, and so does the monster. I’ll admit I was looking at my phone for most of this. I’m not perfect.
