Review of Deep Rising

Deep Rising (1998)
2/10
Oh dear...
6 July 1999
I saw this recently on VHS, and even that was a waste of money. This was undoubtedly one of the worst films I have in a very long time. I was not aware it was supposed to be a B grade film - perhaps if I was aware it was supposed to be crap, I may not have had such an overwhelming physical reaction to it.

The acting was poor, the monster was... well, unconvincing much of the time, the script had few moments that weren't pathetically lame. It was just bad.

There were only two redeeming features that I could see: 1. Famke Janssen looked damn good 2. The monster ate many of the whining characters I quickly tired of, much to my enjoyment.

Aside from that, it was mediocre rubbish I would not watch again, unless it was for the repeated pleasure of watching all the lame actors in it getting mercilessly slaughtered.
