Leviathan

Leviathan (1989) - 4/5

This movie is a solid entry into the creature horror genre. It builds on many established genre classics, swapping the space setting of Alien for deep sea, splicing in a sizeable dose of The Thing’s body horror for good measure. There’s substantial chemistry with real depth and connection, and the effects are better than the budget could have predicted. If you like ‘80s horror movies and haven’t seen it, you owe it to yourself to check it out.

Closest comparison: It’s like Alien by way of Sphere.

Setting: Isolation
Plot: Horror
Tone: Disaster
