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!!!!!!

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

Right, well initially I didn't really have much of any expectations or hopes for this 2004 movie titled "Deep Evil".

Why? Well, because it was a TV movie starring Lorenzo Lamas. Yeah, I can't really claim to think that he has been much of a grand talent in my eyes. But still, I was given the chance to sit down and watch it, so I did.

And color me impressed. This movie was actually rather enjoyable. Especially because it felt very much like a movie I would have seen during my childhood in the 1980s, perhaps even in my teens during the 1990s. It had that particular feel to it, and I must admit that appealed to me. I mean, there is just something about a secret military research facility and having an alien lifeform running amok.

I dare actually go as far as to say that this was even the best movie I have seen Lorenzo Lamas in.

The special effects in "Deep Evil" were good, and actually still are sort of passable even today. Sure, it is not photorealistic effects, but they work very well to suit their needs and purposes.

I enjoyed "Deep Evil" and thus I am rating it a six out of ten stars.
