the thing but on a boat

heavily inspired by a lot of stuff but really just not as good in any way. the only place this really excelled was with some of the body horror elements but there wasn’t enough of those to go around. the dialogue and character work was just weak and uninteresting to me. also ppl were just dumb for no reason which is annoying

Though this came out first, it really reminded me of Still Wakes The Deep in terms of a sea creature lying undisturbed, is... well, disturbed. And the consequences catch up to the crew. Like Sea Fever, SWTD was also very Irish and had Irish folklore in it. I like it when media has deep lore in it, and this was a surprisingly good watch.

Super enjoyable movie, felt like by the end the visuals were a bit lackluster. Would recommend

This is a pretty creepy environmental scifi thriller that leans more slow burn than gushing horror. The ethical debate of self preservation vs. preventing risk to the group is definitely poignant in post-covid times, but I do wish the action had increased a bit by the end. This was mostly quite sad.

It didn’t need to go full body horror but the pinworm parasites and giant glowing cephalopod really got me excited—so when the movie dives into a more quarantine-inspired, relationship-heavy thriller wasn’t my preferred experience. To each their own.

I love smart protagonists but some of the plot developments felt kind of random or underwhelming. Props for a gorgeous ending though!
