    I don’t think we give Wes Studi his due for being a guy who makes every movie better. Sometimes you have a Last of the Mohicans where he’s a main cast member and sometimes it’s a Deep Rising where he’s just there to fight an octopus but no one has ever thought Wes Studi didn’t improve things

    Alright monster nerds, I have one just for you. Remember Deep Rising? The movie says its squirmy, fluid-slurping monsters are Ottoia - a kind of worm called priapulids found in the Cambrian Burgess Shale. They didn’t get as big as in the movie, but they did burrow to snack on smaller critters. 🧪

    I am also a Deep Rising guy, and I like that it, like Deepstar Six and Leviathan (and I guess The Abyss) came out right alongside another movie that was outwardly very similar in Death Ship. (Which stinks but has an amazing opening sequence)

    Rumor has it that Deep Rising (1998) was meant to set up a King Kong film before it was scrapped and Peter Jackson got involved. I actually wouldn't have been mad at getting a Deep Rising sequel but Kong was a wild choice lol

    I miss the big budget creature features of the 90s. The Relic, Deep Rising, Species, Phantoms, etc... You don't get these types of films anymore. 95% of this 4K looks great. A dark movie that is helped by HDR and a sharp picture. There are establishing shots that look bad. Soft, fuzzy, but few.

    There's a hilarious disconnect between that film's crew and the final product. Jerry Goldsmith scoring, Ann Coates editing, the DP of ET shooting, the writer of Moonstruck adapting Crichton, and the end result is demented B-movie schlock. I should double-bill it with Deep Rising one of these days.
