Cheesy hybrid of Alien, The Thing, and The Abyss.

A "just say no" (or "nyet") PSA disguised as a thriller.

Forgettable and predictable, but with a good cast and some fun special effects.

The latter half of the film is one long feeding frenzy, guided by a familiar horror-film principle: survival of the best-looking.

Dismal knock-off of THE ABYSS, but better than DEEP STAR SIX.

Okay effects, good performances, and just a little more than the FDA- recommended daily minimum allowance of mindless entertainment and chills.

There are some interesting psychological overtones here that have to do with genetic research, but they are never explored.

Cheesy underwater monster movie that, for some reason, I have a perverse enjoyment of.

Marks a low point in special effects wizard Stan Winston's career...

Leviathan is intermittently interesting, but it's a bad sign that the movie starts losing its punch when the monster shows up.
