Deep Shock (2003)

disgusting, overrated, pointless

best movie i've ever seen.

Best movie ever!

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I know this film really got slammed in User Reviews, but if you approach this movie NOT expecting some new entirely new version of film, then I think you'll find you enjoy the film. First of all, I don't think that there could be a completely new version of "what awaits us in the deep of the oceans" film. However, this film certainly adds a few new twists while not being some huge CGI film. Other than a few shots, I would even say this is a family-safe film, for those who are not easily frightened. I wouldn't recommend for small children, but teenagers could certainly handle this with no problem.And I must admit, I liked the "creature" in this film, it wasn't set out to be some horribly new creature that's supposed to scare us all to death at first site. But as always, take the time to see the film for yourself! You may truly disagree with my opinion... but then, that's the great thing about living in our society... everyone has an opinion and can voice it!Take it easy, ya'll!ST75

This was one of the worst movies EVER!!!!!!!! It was so bad, I was laughing through the WHOLE movie! The plot was SO cheesy; especially the end. This movie turns from an end-of-the-world-disaster to save-the-eels! I mean, c'mon! And I swear...I think they use SOCK PUPPETS for the eels! And there was this horrible kiss scene in the middle with the two main characters who happened to be divorced. How predictable! It was SO terrible that my mom, my sister, and I couldn't finish it, and when we DID finish it, it was about a year later! The second time we watched it and we finished it this time, we did MST3K-like comments throughout the movie.Summary: Only watch this if you're a movie basher! Make hilarious comments, watch this at a sleepover for laughs, and I mean HUGE laughs. Also watch for mockery. The metaphor that explains this movie: This movie is a very shallow field full of cheese and sock puppets!

So let me just say that I rented this movie because of the huge alien-dinosaur-like beast on the cover of the DVD. So I first start to watch this film and you can't help but make fun of the horrible acting, the abysmal filming, and the oh so magnificent script. Well, the first time you see the creature (30 minutes into the film, in case you feel like just FWD-ing through the amazing introduction of plot)you can't help but say, "Hmm... that looks a lot more like Puff the Magic Dragon than an awesome prehistoric alien beastie." But then again, it's not like you have high expectations of a film like this. ANyway, there is some horrible acting by the main female lead. You may have seen her in such Cinemax classics as "Bad Red" and "Just Girl from Australia....or England.....or, wait, what accent are you using today?" ANyway, The plot is really bad because it never really goes anywhere, but tries to create these amazing layers of depth for the characters. My favorite parts of the movie are when the screen flashes the new scene locations so as to eliminate the costly transition scenes required of higher quality films. Overall, if you see this movie sitting on the shelf and have a whopping 93 minutes to kill, It's worth the view, but only if you have a handful of friends with which to mock this great film. Other films I recommend include the fabulous TIMELINE with Paul Walker, and THE CORE. These special movies will touch your heart.I'm out.

*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*It could have been so simple. You rent a flick called "Deep Shock" and expect giant eels to be attacking. Well, that's what I expected. Instead I got a hokey, moronic, painful waste of a movie. Who was in charge of quality control for this stink burger? Yuck-o. Shockingly terrible.Giant glowing eels attack an underground station. The UN sends the usual plucky scientist to investigate. The eels looked like the dragon from "Never Ending Story". They did not look like eels. They shoot lightning bolts out of their heads! What? Wait...What? What is that about? These are super eels. How super you ask? The scientist creates a computer program to talk to the eels!! YES!! Instant messaging with eels! AAAAAAHHHHH!!!This movie is as lame brained as it gets. I was in agony watching it. The monsters turn out to be misunderstood eels and the humans are wretched for not trying to understand them and their eel ways. If there is one lesson I can impart on monster movie filmmakers, it is this: MONSTERS ARE THERE TO BE KILLED. THEY ARE THE BAD GUYS. THEY ARE NOT THERE TO BE PETTED LIKE A PUPPY DOG OR OTHERWISE SYMPATHIZED WITH!This movie was made for only one purpose: To show off their lame computer special effects. Over half the movie is spent having characters look at computer screens. Whoop-dee-doo. The eel flick needed lots of computer screen shots with diagrams of subs, stations and whatever else was in chaos. Send this flick down into the eel trench. They might like it. All humans should avoid.
