What keeps Deep Evil just about afloat are the creepy first half-hour and the good creature design(The Creature from the Black Lagoon comparison is definitely apt). The acting is also competent, nobody is terrible but nobody apart from Lorenzo Lamas perhaps stands out either. Deep Evil however was the sort of movie that started off with promise but went in a downward spiral very quickly. There is nothing interesting about how it looks, how it's shot is dully lit with a use of bland colours. And most of the special effects are generically coloured and look as though they were constructed in a rush at last minute. The music doesn't drive the movie at all, in fact it is a very lifeless soundtrack and is just forgettable at the end of the day. The dialogue is very turgid stuff, full of tiresome clichés and full of lines that make you go "what do they mean by that?" How the actors managed to keep a straight face or not look embarrassed is quite an accomplishment. The story is often slow to the point of boredom, and is predictable and like Alien mixed with The Thing but with hardly any of the suspense, thrills or nail-biting horror. The deaths are generally weak, in number and how they're played, and the alien(s) are not threatening in the least and are developed and characterised very poorly. The science and the depiction of the military will raise eyebrows and even annoy/anger people. There is very little interesting about the characters and you don't care for a single one. To conclude, not bad to start with but from half-an-hour in it's very bad. 3/10 Bethany Cox

I personally thought it was an interesting movie. Of course it helps that I am a huge Scifi buff. There is always a problem when anyone who tries to compare a "B" movie, to one that I always have called an "A" movie. However I did take the time to read as many reviews as possible. The reviews I did read were very interesting to say the least. There was one scene that I agree had no place in the movie. I won't mention the scene, just in case you haven't seen the movie. Movies that I watch need to have the twists and turns to keep me interested enough to watch all the way through. But you know as well as I do, you can read all the reviews you can find. But at the end of all this research, you have to watch the movie and judge for yourself. TTFN

Please Please Please don't watch this. i am 23 years old and consider myself a bit of a movie buff, i have seen countless movies (good and bad) but nothing has effected me this way, this movie should never escaped the studio. It is a pox on all that watch it. It is seriously appalling. Not just bad, as some movie are, it seems to attain a new standard of s**t that was previously un-attained. I refuse to even mention the details of the movie in this post as it weakens my moral fiber to even consider inflicting this on another human being, actually I'm not only sorry i watched this film but I'm sorry for posting this and piquing anyone else's curiosity enough to watch it. Please don't, seriously, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!!

Another good TV movie from the folks at Insight, The premise of the movie was quite well thought out although I think the story was strong enough to support a longer movie.Could have spent a little more time with character development I think as there were some strong characters that could have had more introduction and development.Although a little rushed i think it was an enjoyable movie.Good work guys, wish I was with you on that one. Look forward to whats next. Matt
