The Best Underwater Monster Movie Cash In: Leviathan (1989)

16,000 feet below the ocean's surface, geologist Peter Weller is the court appointed captain of a ragtag group of precious metal miners. After Daniel Stern uncovers a safe inside of a nearby ship wreck, all hell breaks loose as a vodka-borne bio experiment starts infecting the crew, turning them into hideously deformed mutant fish monsters. Premiering the same year as James Cameron's The Abyss, this flick was unfortunately very poorly received as just some ripoff of Alien and The Thing underwater. Tony from @HackTheMovies joins us to reclaim this sunken treasure and bring this star-studded special effects feast to the surface! Strip down to your undies and slide into your compression suit because we are going toe to toe with the ultimate deep sea terror in LEVIATHAN.

Leviathan is a 1989 science fiction horror film directed by George P. Cosmatos and written by David Webb Peoples and Jeb Stuart. It stars Peter Weller, Richard Crenna, Ernie Hudson, and Daniel Stern as the crew of an underwater geological facility stalked and killed by a hideous mutant creature. Its creature effects were designed by Academy Award-winning special effects artist Stan Winston.

The film was released around the same time as other, similarly themed 'underwater' science fiction and horror films including The Abyss and DeepStar Six, and received negative reviews from critics, who cited numerous similarities to films such as Alien and The Thing.
