Reviews for Leviathan
Top CriticThere are some interesting psychological overtones here that have to do with genetic research, but they are never explored.
01/01/00
The latter half of the film is one long feeding frenzy, guided by a familiar horror-film principle: survival of the best-looking.

Top CriticCheesy 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...

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

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

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

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