Deep Rising (1998), on Disney+
An unashamed Alien/Aliens knock-off, set on a huge, state-of-the-art ocean liner.
A gang of ruthless mercenaries hijack a cruise-liner, only to find it devoid of passengers but with some mysterious killing machine on board.
Pretty well every character is a paper-thin cliché. There's the shouty hard-man, the muscle-head, the coward, the womaniser, the corporate sleaze-ball, the beautiful opportunistic thief (Famke Jannsen providing wisecracks and eye-candy in equal measure) etc. Treat Williams is the square-jawed old man of the sea, initially unaware that he is transporting mercenaries. He often repeats the line "now what?" just before the next catastrophe occurs. In fact almost every line spoken is a tongue-in-cheek one-liner as, in case you didn't guess, Deep Rising never takes itself too seriously and is, at times, outrageously funny. It also features one of the most bloody disgusting death scenes ever - and who could resist a character listed in the credits as "half-digested Billy"?
Unoriginal, terminally clichéd, perhaps a tad too long and with the toothed and tentacled creature-feature CGI effects being barely adequate, but something of a cult classic guilty pleasure, if you're prepared to leave your brain at home for 100 minutes.
Whilst Deep Rising's mantelpiece was never going to be weighed down with Oscars, I'll award it a 6.5/10 for the fun factor.
