Deep Rising description Following in the reptilian slime trail of Anaconda, this derivative monster movie from early 1998 plays like a cross between Titanic and Tremors, with parts of Aliens tossed in for good measure. Director Stephen Sommers couldn't recognize an original idea if it swallowed him whole--which, by the way, is exactly what happens to a lot of passengers on a luxury ship that is attacked by a giant serpent-like sea creature with a voracious appetite for human flesh. Treat Williams plays the leader of a mercenary crew whose members discover the ravaged ship and wage war on the creature; Famke Janssen joins him as an onboard thief and con artist who just happens to be highly skilled with automatic weapons. Of course, the action grows more intense as the body count rises and along the way the monster is gradually revealed in all of its gruesome glory. A guilty pleasure if ever there was one, Deep Rising arrived in theaters shortly after another waterlogged thriller, Hard Rain, and if nothing else it provides proof that the B-movie monsters of the 1950s are alive and well and as cheesy as ever in the age of digital special effects. --Jeff Shannon |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | SOMMERS BEST!! |
| If you want to explain the hellish abomination that was Van Helsing, you need look no further than Deep Rising, the original Sommers blend of horror and flip humour that was the template for The Mummy movies and what was to follow. Deep Rising is where Sommers got his schlocky blend of humour and horror just right-it's fast, funny and completely over the top. Treat Williams is great as the wisecracking hero who confronts a big beasty from the deep on a ocean liner. This probably needed the likes of Harrison Ford to sell it at the time, but Williams has such a twinkle in his eye that it doesn't matter, both he and this gulity pleasure are great fun to watch. | |
