The Age of Commercialism
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
This movie surprised me. I thought I was in for some "Pure Quality" But this was better than I expected.Even though this movie had nothing original in it, deep evil managed to take all those stolen concepts and put them together really well. I noticed a few scenes straight from The Rock and Phantoms. But Liquid alien, underground laboratory, biological weapon gone wrong, commando team sent to fix the problem ...... come on. Deep Evil makes it work!!!!!!!!The only reason I can see for it getting such a low score on IMDb is the CGI must have been done by David Hasselhoff's first grade fan club. It was pretty bad. But probably because I'm used to that sort of trash, I wasn't phased. Even the bad CG helicopters was repelled off my mental block of badness.If you have a high tolerance for low budget computer graphics, I'd recommend this movie to you.
"Deep Evil" is a nicely decent creature feature.**SPOILERS**Hours after the detonation of a nuclear bomb, Trainor, (Lorenzo Lamas) and a military team, Maj. Michael Ross, (Adam Harrington) Sgt. Hall, (Will Sanderson) and Capt. O'Brien, (Rachel Hayworth) are sent in with Dr. Cole, (Ona Grauer) and Prof. Peter Langdon, (Jim Thorburn) to a chemicals weapons facility where they both work. Upon entering, they find the entire complex empty and covered in slime, as well as one of their experiments. When they find that the escaped experiment is a cloned alien species designed for the US Army, they race to get out before becoming infected by the creatures.The Good News: This wasn't all that bad of a creature feature. The opening half hour of the film is pretty creepy. There's a couple of really suspenseful set-ups, all stemming from the fact that it's almost impossible to see what is lurking in the shadows. There's constant hints around that there is something there in the place, but it's not known what. The lighting and damp location there play important parts in that fact. There's some really nice good moments driven from the early suspense scenes. The film really picks up back in the final twenty minutes which is filled with action and lots of excitement to close the film out on a high note. The chase through the missile room is the best part, keeping the gunfire going and the action going along. The creature looks really threatening, a kind of off-shoot of The Gillman, only with some adjustments done near the face to change it slightly. The film does have some rather decent science fiction to explain the proceedings, which can get overly complicated but are still noteworthy without being over-the-top. It's all quite decent.The Bad News: There's still a couple of things wrong in this one. The first is the pacing, especially in the beginning. Granted, there's some really creepy moments in there, but it's also quite slow, as the majority of the time remaining is devoted to the clichéd dialog choice of having characters constantly repeat that the mission is top-secret and won't reveal what's going on until too late. That not only is a tiresome cliché but really drags out the film when there's a fifth conversation that constantly features the same result with the same dialog. The monster itself is so rarely on-screen that, while it looks easily creepy, there's hardly any scares derived from it. The design is good enough, but it's not seen enough to really get the most out of it. The very low body-count also lowers the gore in here, and while we do get some gory kills, they aren't really on-screen that often. They are for the most part off-screen, with the weakest, non-goriest kill being shown. That is the most aggravating part about it, especially because the other deaths are really gruesome and the weakest one is on-screen. Otherwise, this isn't all that bad.The Final Verdict: Yes, there are some problems with it, but that isn't enough to really disregard it. It's certainly not one of the better films of this type around, as it's too clichéd to stand out, but it's still worthy of a look for those who are interested in this type of films.Rated R: Graphic Language, Violence and Nudity
In remote Alaska a bio-research lab is hiding the secret experiments with alien microbes that landed in Siberia in the 1950's. In recent days a procedure is accidentally mishandled and the research lab is automatically put on lock-down. A distress signal is about informative as the exact purpose of the lab itself. A best-of-the-best military team is sent to investigate the incident. Of course this team, that does not lack ego, has no idea of the terror and chaos that awaits them. Finding a total bloody mess, the team has no real idea of what they are looking for. When they themselves become ankle deep in the mystery, paranoia instills the fear an insider may be plotting against them. This obviously low budget Sci-Fi film has some unexpectedly good F/X. Castmembers: Lorenzo Lamas, Ona Grauer, Rachel Hayward, Adam Harrington and Will Sanderson.
*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*"Deep Evil" is yet another alien in a lab movie. I've only seen about a hundred of these flicks. What's one more? Lamas and friends are sent to secure the aforementioned lab. It is there that they will meet their B-movie destiny. Apparently those crazy scientists have done it again and cloned an alien to turn it into some kind of super weapon. The Lamas gang will have to use all of their military training and hardware if they want to leave this lab alive. Sounds pretty standard doesn't it? There's one big problem though. Two words: Alien Water. They made an alien water monster? No, no, no, oh no...Yes, it's true. "Deep Evil" manages to be one of the lamest alien in a lab movies I've ever seen. That's a bold statement. So the scientists thought it would be pretty cool if they could make a water monster. They got a couple of drops from outer space and started playing around with it. That might have been a good idea for the scientists but why did the filmmakers think it was worth anything? A water monster? Are you kidding me? How lame can you get? There are actually scenes of the soldiers shooting puddles of water. If that's not a recipe for disaster, I don't know what is.Soon the filmmakers realize their error and try to make up for it by actually having some monsters in their monster movie. First they spring for some water spiders and then they actually splurge and whip out some aliens. Unfortunately, it all comes too late. "Deep Evil" had already passed the point of disaster by the time the aliens came out to play. This is one alien in a lab flick that needs to be skipped.
