I love this movie so much
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
One interesting thing about this TVM is that it was filmed in 14 days . This is the only time the adjective " interesting " will be appearing in relation to DEEP EVIL . It also gives a hint as to what sort of quality you should expect from this type of film . Quickly written , quickly produced and quickly filmed the only thing that doesn't fly by quickly is the film itself . Two hours of your life you'll never get back ? It seems a lot longer than two hours sitting through this As in these type of horror/sci-fi TVMs the intellectual and artistic parisonmy is matched by the budget . Once the military/scientific team are given their mission they spend a large proportion of the running time walking down a dark corridor waving torches . I don't know if it it was my imagination but this sequence seemed to last for 20 minutes and in order to impress the audience the characters spout such Oscar winning dialogue such as : " Everyone thinks I'm a lesbo " and " No way was that officer's daughter jailbait . Shee was eighteen or nineteen at least " If you're expecting a low/no budget remake of ALIENS you'll be disappointed because this is a very dialogue heavy type of story where not much happens What makes it more irritating is how exposition is given out to the plot . If you've read the plot summary on this page it tells you all you have to know as to how the story plays out
I read the reviews here before watching this movie, so I was prepared for a crapper bomb, its not.There is a Si-Fi blight right now so I am forced to take what I can get.None of the actors are very good, but no one sucked either. The special affects ranged from poor,buckets of watered down slim dropping onto the ground, to pretty neat, the aliens them self.Everything about this movie screams cable TV and that is what it was...go in with the attitude that this is about the quality of say "Chupacabra: Dark Seas " and you may enjoy it too.Minor Spoiler...One scene I did like was when Lamas got his spine torn out.The basic story can be read by the reviews above or below mine.No point in rehashing it for you again.
*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.
The CGI effects, the "liquid metal" type reminiscent of those in Abyss and T-2, are the real star of what is a pleasing combination of Alien and The Thing. Lorenzo Lamas is the sole bit of recognizable star power, but he's purely incidental to how enjoyable this flick turns out to be. Pour a drink, open a bag of chips and turn off your brain while you watch this one. If you take it too seriously you're going to end up bitter and twisted...just like many of the IMDb Users whose comments seem to be coming from either film-school dropouts or Hollywood wannabees. Or both. Remember - it's called the "willing suspension of disbelief" for a reason. Are we talking Academy awards here? Nope. Instead we have an hour and a half of cinematic popcorn - tasty enough to entertain but nothing that will stick with you for long. The folks at First Look Home Entertainment and DEJ Productions have given us another solid effort. Keep 'em coming, guys.
