------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Original Ripper......: UNKNOWN ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- USER COMMENT: The story of "Creatures from the Abyss" is all about 5 young adults (the box calls them "bright teenagers", HA!) that get lost on the ocean in an inflatable boat and take refuge on a research vessel. All of the crew but one are dead and one by one the characters are contaminated/killed off by mutant fish.
I'm pretty surprised that I had never heard of this movie until I bought it with the Shriek Show triple feature yesterday. It seems to have a bigger than average budget compared to other B-movies. The special effects were alright. Another thing is that it's a lot like Carpenter's "The Thing". This means it gets pretty weird and with weird movies like this you never know what to expect because, really, anything could happen (and it does).
Sadly, this film is not that great. You can tell that, while it is kind of an original premise, it desperately tries to be hip. This may be the reason that up until its Shreik Show release it has been so obscure, at least in the US. OK, it still is obscure. Hip-ness does not make a film good.
The reason, though, that I gave this six stars is that it has an ENDLESS supply of really bad dialog. A lot of movies are unintentionally funny due to bad lines, but this movie takes the cake. Literally, from start to finish, the bad lines just don't stop. Even the boat has bad dialog (but this was supposed to be funny, I think). As far as all of this goes, it's worth its weight in gold.
Not scary, but has enough over-the-top wacky eye-candy to keep you interested throughout.
