Deep Evil

I personally thought it was an interesting movie. Of course it helps that I am a huge Scifi buff. There is always a problem when anyone who tries to compare a "B" movie, to one that I always have called an "A" movie. However I did take the time to read as many reviews as possible. The reviews I did read were very interesting to say the least. There was one scene that I agree had no place in the movie. I won't mention the scene, just in case you haven't seen the movie. Movies that I watch need to have the twists and turns to keep me interested enough to watch all the way through. But you know as well as I do, you can read all the reviews you can find. But at the end of all this research, you have to watch the movie and judge for yourself. TTFN

This is a typical movie about aliens loose in a confined environment. The presence of Lorenzo Lamas only proves that he is on a descending curve as casting is concerned and he has a really secondary role that involves no foot work, so he doesn't really belong in the movie.

There are a lot of loopholes in the plot, but how does care? This is a monster movie, just produce the monster, let him loose on people that we don't know and don't care about and maybe, just maybe, let a few of them alive to be cast in some other movies.

Someone mentioned the effects, they were not great. If you count greenish, reddish, yellowish liquids coming out of twitching people as special effects or you like quick morphs between computer generated aqua and people dressed in plastic, then this is the movie for you.

Actually, the only good scene of this movie is when the young daughter of the general i doing an erotic dance for Lamas at the beginning of the movie. From then on, the movie just keeps going downwards :)

I rented this once and thought it stunk. What possessed me to re-watch this, I don't know. Oh, wait, yes, I do know: I felt like re-watching some recent rubbish sci-fi/horror flicks. Amazingly so, "Deep Evil" isn't actually all that bad as I remembered it to be. I blame that on the fact that by now I have watched a considerable amount of infinitely worse flicks already. So, in some underground facility the government has been experimenting with an alien substance. Those folks just never learn. Of course the alien organism evolves and grows out of control. A team of highly trained military folks are sent in to secure things (as in: blow the whole thing to kingdom come). Amongst them, that 'what the hell happened to my career'-guy Lorenzo Lamas. Our team gets to fight against (in following order): alien water (yes, you read that right), hundreds of silver alien spiders and eventually rubber-suited humanoid alien creatures. Far from anything special.

A mate of mine pointed out to me just how many horror/Sci-Fi movies there exist dealing with random military men (and women) being sent into a top-secret and geographically remote government research facility or underground lab to eliminate some sort of experiment that went horribly wrong. As a matter of course, these people haven't got a clue what they will be battling against and, regardless of their intense training and superior skills, they get mercilessly ripped to pieces by something (usually an alien or a genetic experiment) much stronger and slimier than them.

Oh my, yes! There are so many flicks like that! James Cameron's "Aliens" is presumably the pioneering role model, because notably the 90s and early 2000s brought forward a copious amount of "send in the military" or "something's creeping in the underground lab" B-movies. "Deep Evil" is one of them, and proudly puts a tick in every box on the cliché-list, including the isolated location (Alaska), strange phenomena (alien water drops), macho soldiers (Lorenzo Lamas as the 'artillery & explosives' expert), and secrecy above all (if the monster doesn't kill you, the government will).

"Deep Evil" is a bad film, but I can't bring myself to write too many harsh and negative things about it. You know what to expect (or, at least, you should know) when choosing a film like this to watch, so what's the point in complaining how terribly unoriginal the script is, or how awfully cheap looking the stunts and special effects are? The idea of an aquatic alien species is reasonably interesting (although still stolen from, again, James Cameron and his "The Abyss") but the plot does the dumbest and most illogical things with it; - for example drops of water that turn into silver-colored spiders that look pathetically fake. The cast truly excels in giving the worst possible performances as possible. Of course, they're all well trained in this domain. Lorenzo Lamas honestly never starred in anything half-decent in his life, and Ona Grauer is the "star" of such Uwe Boll classics like "Alone in the Dark" and "House of the Dead".

This is called a Canadian movie but it is an American Pay TV movie set in Alaska but filmed in Canada to save money. It is basically a story of germ warfare; with a twist. American scientists working on a project in futuristic Alaskan Laboratory find a new terror weapon. Any more explanation would be a spoiler. Rather simplistic movie worth watching after midnight if there is nothing else to watch. Most simple storyline would be ..Alien meets Alaska. 3/10 is about what this film deserves and i would like to say that i am in reality -being generous. The type of film where you watch and watch only to see if you were correct in your guesses as to what the plot will bring about. Simple and when it ends it ends--finally. the end
