Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
The expression 'an ugly drunk' takes on a whole new meaning when the thirsty crew of an American deep-sea mining station investigates a mysteriously capsized, Russian wreck and brings back some experimental vodka that turns the unlucky imbiber into a plasma-craving fish creature. (Has there ever been a better reason for abstinence?) Although this 'Aliens meets 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea' story doesn't add anything new to the classic horror and sci-fi formulas that it so obviously borrows from, it's a fun monster film all the same, with impressive, gnarly effects, a better-than-expected cast (Peter Weller and a scene-stealing Ernie Hudson are the standouts), and an insanely detailed production design by Alien veteran Ron Cobb. Director George P. Cosmatos went on to direct Tombstone. --Andrew Wright

Rating:  - Really scared me when I was little
Everybody gives this movie bad reviews, but it really freaked me out when I was a kid. I remember the scene when they go to dispose of the first infected body, that pervo guy, who drank the vodka. Just before they go to blow him out of the submarine hull, or whatever. A limb, tentacle thing spews out of it, and scratches one of the crew. Really creepy. Than one of the girls is so traumatized, by the whole thing, she's crying in the shower, scrubbing herself. It's a fairly intelligent, trippy horror ... Read More
Rating:  - Kind of old but still fun
I saw this film 18 years ago and I was scarred, Now that I saw it again I found it not bad. Effects now seems kind of cheese but have nice tension.
Rating:  - leviathan
GOOD SCI-FI FLICK UPDATING VIDEO COLLECTION HAD IT ON VHS AND WANTED IT ON DVD.
Rating: - Leviathan
Again, not up to par with todays special effects, but really good all the same. I'm a sucker for the horror movies of the 80's and early 90's. I have to put this one above Deep Star Six, although that was a terrific movie also. Leviathan will have you jumping and scared.
Rating: - Silly and funny underwater version of "Alien" that still works
Coming in the late 1980s with all the momentum sprung from the "Alien" original and first repeat, "Leviathan" sought to take the alien model underwater, where a group of trash collectors fights on-board monsters with saws and flamethrowers.
The producers of this film knew a good model when they found it and obviously allowed the audience to laugh at their copycat ways by creating aliens that alternately look like tongues with teeth and moving intestines. There's also a paean to the real ... Read More
