DeepStar Six and Leviathan were competeting sci-fi horror movies that came out within months of each other, and both were awful. If memory serves, they were rushed projects, as they were aware of each other productions.

The Abyss trailed in release date, and is more sci-fi. It's one of my all-time favorites.

I kinda dug Leviathan 😇😅

It definitely wasn’t a good movie, rather it was so bad it was entertaining.

I found DeepStar Six streaming free on Pluto and am planning on watching it this weekend for the first time to complete the ‘89 Underwater Trilogy.

I’m not a fan of horror either, I’m too chicken for the genre.

But somehow creature features capture my attention. I’m a fan of the more recent underwater creature feature aptly named Underwater also (the one with Kristen Stewart).
