DeepStar Six is my favorite aquatic horror film. I'm a huge fan of Leviathan, Sphere, Deep Rising, The Rift. I don't get why Virus and Dagon were criticized. Both films are very atmospheric and entertaining. The creatures look realistic. I also remember The Neptune Factor (1973), Prophecy (1979), Killer Fish (1979) and Lords of the Deep (1989)

The Abyss is hardly underrated. In fact it is highly loved and respected. And the Aliens are anything but deadly.

LEVIATHAN and Deep Rising, two of my favorite Underwater monster horror films.

The Abyss, not a Horror film, but a sci-fi adventure film.

IMO, The Abyss shouldn't be on this list. It's practically the gold standard of underwater films (hardly underrated). It's not really a horror (more a thriller/sci-fi). And the description given in this video is... misleading. I do agree that people should watch the directors cut of it, though.

Leviathan is more like The Thing in an aquatic setting.

I loved Underwater. The production design of the "hardsuits" alone were jaw-dropping. Glad I was able to catch it in theaters.

Deep Rising is easily one of the best water-based monster movies. Underwater was okay but should've had more suspense/tension like Alien did

Compliment, compliment. "And Nancy Everhart is also decent in her role".

During 1989-1990 we had 6 underwater-themed films: The Abyss, Leviathan, DeepStar Six, The Rift, Lords of the Deep and The Evil Below. Does anyone know the reason? I'm not complaining though. I'd love to see at least 10 aquatic horrors this year

I’ve got a soft spot for “Dagon”- it’s funny to note that it’s not an adaptation of the story “Dagon”, but of “The Shadow Over Innsmouth”. Which is my favorite of Lovecraft’s work, explaining one reason why I enjoy the movie so much. They changed the location from the New England town of Innsmouth to the Spanish or Portuguese coastal town of “Inboca”, or “Imboca”, translating to “In mouth”, approximately. It was a clever little detail, like the protagonist’s Miskatonic University sweatshirt. I recommend watching this to anyone who likes practical effects in their horror movies, as opposed to CGI, (which it only uses sparingly), and fans of HP Lovecraft. Enjoy, and thanks for the great video!

Leviathan, Deep Star Six and Deep Rising are extremely underrated. Also check out this Korean horror movie called Sector 7 (2011) a really good aquatic monster creature feature.

Deep Rising was an awesome "grab the popcorn and leave your brain at the door" movie. Thanks for reminding me, I have to watch it again now.

I'd like to thank Marvelous Videos for bringing me on as a narrator!

I would have replaced The Abyss with Ghost Ship

The Abyss is not a horror film

I've seen Sphere, Deep Rising, the recently released Underwater and Virus. Don't know how The Abyss counts as a horror movie, but I've seen it too

Sphere is actually a psychological thriller, the novel is especially good.

"Underwater" might have a few problems.. but there are lots of hidden easter eggs .Very rewatchable, which is more than I can say for most films.

When you say that Dagon is a loose adaptation, that's a huge understatement. If it were any looser it would slip right off the screen.

Loved Deep Rising growing up. It's a fun movie. The Abyss is an amazing movie with a fantastic premise and cast. And I just watched Underwater recently, that movie is pretty great. I was shocked how much I enjoyed it. Would recommend to anyone that likes monster movies. The twist though....just brilliant.

Dagon is cheesy and crazy, and I love it. Cold skin could be a masterpiece if they tightened up the editing and had less panning shots of people staring out at the water for what seems like forever.

this is one of the best compilations i've seen yet.... awesome work fellas!!

Sea Fever is a new movie that came out in Jan 2020. Also check out Sector 7, a Korean horror movie on an oil rig (first 3D), And Harbinger Down is like the thing on a boat. Love water monsters, sharks and gator/croc movies!

It's funny how a space movie Alien (1979) inspired so many underwater horrors - DeepStar Six, Leviathan, The Rift, Underwater

At the end of Deep Rising they land on an Island and there's a new creature coming down from the mountain, always wanted a sequel.

Deep Star 6, Leviathan, and Deep Rising are my favorites

The Abyss may not be horror but the production certainly was!

Wait abyss with deadly aquatic species? I don't think you've even seen the abyss? Your synopsis on the abyss is completely wrong.

I just love your all of your content, and yes the sphere is such a great movie, great plot, twists, actors.

Need a video for Bug Horror, Mimic, Arachnophobia,Ticks Ect... 👍 Love your vids

Yeah the Abyss, that unknown film. Lol.

Hilarious irony that you're using music from a movie about a desert planet.

"Humanoids From the Deep" has always been one of my favorites.

Love Deep Star Six. So well done. Great creature design and a wonderful performane by Miguel Ferrer. And Dagon, so atmospheric and creepy like a lesser Del Torro movie.

Thank you for putting Underwater on here!!! It’s criminally underrated.

It apparently has been so long since i last watched The Abyss, because i dont remember it being a horror movie. Time is undefeated

Deep Rising was freaking awesome. A fun movie.

I love Virus, Underwater was surprisingly nice, I went in a Kristen Stewart hater, but she turned me into a follower. She acted great and looked very pretty. Deep Rising is another one I enjoed a lot. I am thrilled to see Cold Skin and Endless Decent. Will definitely check them out.

Don't think he has actually watched any of these films

I remember "Leviathan" since I saw that a few times as a kid.

Have you noticed all the good ones where made in the 80’s? I loved that decade of cinema.

Deep star 6, Leviathan, Virus and Deep Rising were definitely my favorites

I've gotta check out these movies...thanks MV!!!

The Abyss is a legendary movie. Also, DeepStar Six, Leviathan, Sphere and The Rift are also fine.

Deep Rising was one of my favorites

Hell Yea for including 'Dagon'. & in that coveted last spot All around a damn fine list. Some real B movie gems

One thing all these movies have in common is a lovecraftian theme, only the shark oriented movies don't have that aspect. You can get some aspect of cosmic horror from all of these though.

Deep Rising and DS6 - my Favorites

Freaking LOVE Leviathan! I must have watched it 3 times at the theater. Bought it later on VHS, then upgraded to DVD. That epic ending with the face punch!!!

Leviathan, The Abyss and Deep Rising are my favorites from this list actually are the best too

Such a great genre. I recently watched "Underwater". Don't ignore it because of Kristen Stewart like some people do. It's a solid film with some really cool visuals.

Sphere, a sci-fi horror thriller film from the novel by Michael Crichton. And from Director Barry Levinson.

Deep Rising is awesome. One of my fave popcorn movies of all time. Kevin J. O'Connor is brilliant.

I've seen 7 of these. The aliens in the Abyss were benign and only fought when attacked by a lunatic crew person.

I swear when I was a kid every summer (and I mean EVERY SUMMER)I would end up watching deep star six on scifi in the afternoon after getting out of the pool...damn life was good

Leviathan is my favorite of the less-known underwater horror movies. And, Amanda Pays is certainly easy on the eyes!

The creature design of Virus is beautifull!

The abyss is not a horror movie nor are the aliens dangerous.

Virus, a good sci fi action horror film.

I saw Deep Rising in the cinema. Was so good. Going to buy it on bluray.

Deep Rising is one of my favorite movies of all time. Underwater was awesome. Hopefully it gets a sequel. Ya earned a like & a sub.

Deep star 6, Leviathan and abyss were the three I watched and loved growing up.

"Abyss and Deep Star six" was my favorite...

Humanoids From The Deep is another Underwater monster horror film, too. It was Oscar Winning composer James Horner's first film.

People need to realize that the Thing 1982, and the Thing from another world early 1950s, both were based on the same book "Who goes there?" The 80s version was more true to the book. It explores the paranoia of not knowing who is human and who isn't. This story was around long before the movie Alien came out! This pertains to the comments below not necessarily the video. There is no way in hell that Alien inspired the Thing. BTW, saw Leviathon in the theatre back in 1989 with friends. The one thing we all took away from that movie is that it was basically the Thing 1982 under water. Still not a bad movie though. Deepstar Six, which was definitely Alien underwater, came out in 1988 before all the above underwater movies were released. Still one if my favorites though.

Creature (1998, Peter Benchley) should've made this list. It's underrated due to airing on tv, but so many great "movies" were aired as 2-3 episode "tv shows".

Your background music reminds me of Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness lol

As usual another great video piece from you. I was especially glad to see Dagon mentioned here, it really does not get enough love and respect. Keep up the entertaining work.

Leviathan and Deep Star Six definitely freaked me out as a kid

Not my kind of movies, but I like how neutral your videos are. No surely comments. It’s refreshing.

The Abyss... this underrated blockbuster from the Indie director James Cameron, who is only known within the arthouse scene...

I remember watching deep rising when I was a kid but I never remembered the name. Now I know the name and I'm so happy. Gonna watch it right now.

The Abyss is not a horror movie. It’s more of a drama and psychological affects of under water risk with an alien encounter as second thought.

No Harbinger Down? I say BS. It's a clear cut shoe-in for this list...

loved watching deep rising and viras when I was younger 👍

You should make a list of Alien knock offs. One of my favorites is an admittedly bad movie called Creature. It's bad but an actor named Klause Kinski delivers an amazing performance and a spine chillingly amazing monologue.

I agree. Deepstar Six is very under rated. BTW first death was sad too. Captain got killed by the door. Characters were likable too.

Virus is still extremely underrated.

I loved The Abyss and its soundtrack.

Great list. One of my all time favorites was a 2 part mini series. It was called "The Beast". It was about a giant octopus. As a kid it scared the hell out of me. I would love to watch it again but you can't find it anywhere

There was a time when James Cameron was a genius that deliver most of the greates movies sci fi has ever seen, but now he is just an empty shell of a former giant

Here’s 10 others that deserve mentioning: 10. The Meg 9. Triangle 8. The Bay 7. She Creature 6. Sea Fever 5. Ghost Ship 4. The Creature Below 3. Below 2. The Lighthouse 1. 47 Meters Down

Never really thought the Abyss aliens were hostile but thinking of flooding the earth to save it from humanities destructive tendencies

I would also recommend The Beast and Creature. Both movies are base on books written by Jaws author, Peter Benchley.

I really want to like this channel. You pick really good subjects. But there is something about narrator and the script he is reading from. It rubs me the wrong way. Almost like a salesman pitching something. Anyone else get that feeling?

Awesome underwater film monster stories! Still early for most underwater sea students. See you seating in the back row of the movie theaters....t.b.c.

Glad to see Sphere on here. Was my first Chricton novel I read that wasn’t Jurassic Park, and the movie stays pretty close to the book with the only a few moments that completely different.

For years I was searching for deep rising... thank you!!!!!

Leviathan Is one of my favorite Underwater films And I actually have it on VHS 📼 LOL😆

Leviathan and deep star six were two flicks i grew up with lol

Ok, it seems like people don't understand why The Abyss is on this list. This is mostly because it was one that started it all. It was one of the reasons why all these deepsea horror movies were created from 1989 and throughout the 90s, and so on. Keep in mind film studios would follow a certain movie theme be it a space horror, a disaster (Tornado, Volcano, Earthquake, Shipwreck, or whatever). If one studio was making a major movie, the other studios will try to either out due one each other or get in on the next movie trend. Now while The Abyss wasn't a underwater horror movie, but an action/thriller/drama movie. The other movie studios and directors didn't know that at the time. They've just assumed The Abyss was going to be a deepsea horror film base on the last movie that James Cameron filmed which was Alien. Next thing you know 1989, became the year of the deepsea scifi horror films. At least six films sharing the same theme came out that year. Boy, did they missed the mark when James Cameron finally released his movie. Its kinda funny when you think about it.😅😅

arguably, in literature the father of sea horror is william hope hodgson (1870-1918) and i'm surprised that he hardly got any attention in cinema.

The reason Sphere didn't do well is because while it was written by Michael Crichton just like the blockbuster Jurassic Park, the screenplay was a very reduced version of the book. And the book was extremely popular. So this was very much a case of "the book was better".

Deep Rising!! Yes! A great Action Horror film that's Alien but takes place on a cruise ship.

I actually really enjoyed Virus. Not sure why most people hated it so much.

Underwater was so good and became a favorite for sure.

As many have stated The Abyss was not underrated, it was excellent and everyone knows it. The Sphere also not underrated, it was terrible with an ending that infuriated nearly 100% of its viewers and including it on this list without breaking into laughter makes it very clear that the narrator did not write the script and has never seen these films.

grey/green really stands out in the Cold Skin description. Watching it lol

Deep Star Six... I have long began wondering how all those lung-less crustaceans manage to roar and howl.
