I love me a creature feature!
A wise-cracking boar captain is hired to bring a band of mercenaries out to sea for an unknown mission. He soon finds out there are several large bombs on board his hull. Meanwhile on a nearby large luxury liner, someone has sabotage's the ships instruments so they are now dead in the water. A beautiful thief is also captured and locked in an inner cabin of the ship.

When the small craft arrives, they notice all the ship's crew and passengers have vanishes do the force of an unknown entity. Once they discover what has happened and what is involved, they have to try and escape the now sinking ship quickly to save themselves.

Treat Williams and Famke Janssen lead the pack here of a very entertaining creature feature in the vein of The Relic, Mimic, Phantoms, The Virus or other films of that era.

Very entertaining as long as you don't think much about it or are able to accept the premise and story as is. The SFX are of the time period. Not great by today's standards or even of those like Jurassic Park which was made years earlier. They are not as bad as The Rock in the Scorpion King (man was that awful)!

For an old horror film this really wasn't that bad fair enough the monster it's self is budget but I really enjoyed this!!

Everyone is having the best time on the big cruise ship enjoying there holiday until someone onboard stops the ship and burns the control's all so that a private company can come in and rob the ship. Not knowing that something worse something abnormal is headed for the ship. By the time this private company reaches the ship there is no one around, they don't know what has happened yet but it's not long before they find out and it's a fight to survive. Brilliant film I enjoy the action the actors and killing beast from the deep! Worth the watch!

A guilty pleasure
Pure fun B-movie action/horror. Won't win any Oscars but an entertaining film with pretty good SFX.
