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

Janet Maslin

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.

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