Underwater Horror, and I’m Not Talking Fish Tanks Pt. 1
The underwater horror genre is often one of the most terrifying because the situations and terror often come from being trapped in a small confined space underwater as well as the fear of being cast out into the dark, forbidding depths. Man has always been fearful of the water due to our inability to survive for long in it and our incapacity to breath on our own underwater. There will always be something mysterious and frightening about the dark, menacing depths of the ocean and the strange untouched and never before seen terrors that lurk in the darkness. Here is a list of movies that deal with the horror of the underwater and may just make you think twice about that scuba diving trip or fish tank purchase.
Leviathan
An undersea mining goes horribly awry when the group of minors find a safe from the former crew of a Russian ship in the deep sea. The crew find a flask of vodka, and after two crew members share the drink they become horribly sick. One of the crew members dies and the other one slowly begins to mutate. The mutated bodies come together to form a horrible creature that begins to murder the surviving crew one by one. As each member dies it begins to mutate and forms with the monster that gets bigger and stronger. The movies is an OK take on the sort of close-quarters alien survival movies like “the Thing” and “Alien” but the special effects and horror aren’t done as well as they could have been. It’s a decent little late 80s horror movie to check out if you are into deep sea horror.
The Abyss
James Cameron’s epic science fiction horror film finds the crew of a new, experimental submersion machine investigating a mysterious submarine crash that may have been caused by an alien species unknown to man. As is common in many of these claustrophobic underwater films, there is a member of the crew that becomes increasingly paranoid and violence, making the human element often more dangerous and terrifying than the alien element. The film was a large budget and difficult production with the crew spending days in a giant seven million gallon water tank for filming. Much of the underwater filming was also done in the largest underground lake in the world located in a mine in Bonne Terre, Missouri.
