Deep Evil (2004)

Good concept, poorly executed.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

This is a terrible movie. Nearly every depiction of the US Army is wrong in it - from the way they talk, wear their berets, rank, branch insignia, etc. If a director doesn't know anything about the military (and most don't) why not ask someone instead of making a movie that looks stupid? And the monsters made no sense either. There was no real science in this science fiction. The whole story just wasn't very well thought out. The actors seemed okay, and I amazed they could keep a straight face while speaking such horrible dialogue. If I had the resources (actors, production crew, $$$$, etc.) these people put into "Deep Evil" I could have made a film that would have grossed over $100M in theaters, instead of crashing and burning on cable TV. How do these guys find the funding to make such crap?

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.

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!!!!!!

Another good TV movie from the folks at Insight, The premise of the movie was quite well thought out although I think the story was strong enough to support a longer movie.Could have spent a little more time with character development I think as there were some strong characters that could have had more introduction and development.Although a little rushed i think it was an enjoyable movie.Good work guys, wish I was with you on that one. Look forward to whats next. Matt
