Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

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

This movie surprised me. I thought I was in for some "Pure Quality" But this was better than I expected.Even though this movie had nothing original in it, deep evil managed to take all those stolen concepts and put them together really well. I noticed a few scenes straight from The Rock and Phantoms. But Liquid alien, underground laboratory, biological weapon gone wrong, commando team sent to fix the problem ...... come on. Deep Evil makes it work!!!!!!!!The only reason I can see for it getting such a low score on IMDb is the CGI must have been done by David Hasselhoff's first grade fan club. It was pretty bad. But probably because I'm used to that sort of trash, I wasn't phased. Even the bad CG helicopters was repelled off my mental block of badness.If you have a high tolerance for low budget computer graphics, I'd recommend this movie to you.

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.

This is a typical movie about aliens loose in a confined environment. The presence of Lorenzo Lamas only proves that he is on a descending curve as casting is concerned and he has a really secondary role that involves no foot work, so he doesn't really belong in the movie.There are a lot of loopholes in the plot, but how does care? This is a monster movie, just produce the monster, let him loose on people that we don't know and don't care about and maybe, just maybe, let a few of them alive to be cast in some other movies.Someone mentioned the effects, they were not great. If you count greenish, reddish, yellowish liquids coming out of twitching people as special effects or you like quick morphs between computer generated aqua and people dressed in plastic, then this is the movie for you.Actually, the only good scene of this movie is when the young daughter of the general i doing an erotic dance for Lamas at the beginning of the movie. From then on, the movie just keeps going downwards :)
