About
Not for you if you want a fully original monster story or faster pacing; this late-80s underwater sci-fi horror instead delivers suspense in the deep, for fans of Alien-style tension or Leviathan-style creature thrills.
Pros: strong underwater tension; effective effects; mostly mysterious monster | Cons: slow start; formulaic later; characters can feel bland
