Deep Rising

Deep Rising (1998) navigates the turbulent waters of B-movie excess with a cast of marauding mercenaries who plunder a luxury liner in the South Pacific, only to find their spoils contested by monstrous, tentacled beings that have laid claim to the vessel. Director Stephen Sommers stages a relentless assault of carnage and claustrophobia, blending human paranoia with aquatic terror in a vessel that becomes both arena and ark, a microcosm of survival and savagery.
