Leviathan (1989)


Peter Weller gives a great performance in this deep-sea incarnation of The Thing (with hints of Alien). With a great supporting cast and very polished direction, the film is suspenseful and interesting until the very end when the surviving crew members escape the undersea mining facility... and that's where everything goes to shit! Luckily, the embarrassing footnote of an ending (after the climax, mind you) is not enough to destroy the complete integrity of the film and is more humorous/idiotic than anything else. Slick, atmospheric, and exciting with fantastic special effects, Leviathan is worth at least a peek.

7/10
