One interesting thing about this TVM is that it was filmed in 14 days . This is the only time the adjective " interesting " will be appearing in relation to DEEP EVIL . It also gives a hint as to what sort of quality you should expect from this type of film . Quickly written , quickly produced and quickly filmed the only thing that doesn't fly by quickly is the film itself . Two hours of your life you'll never get back ? It seems a lot longer than two hours sitting through this

As in these type of horror/sci-fi TVMs the intellectual and artistic parisonmy is matched by the budget . Once the military/scientific team are given their mission they spend a large proportion of the running time walking down a dark corridor waving torches . I don't know if it it was my imagination but this sequence seemed to last for 20 minutes and in order to impress the audience the characters spout such Oscar winning dialogue such as :

" Everyone thinks I'm a lesbo "

and

" No way was that officer's daughter jailbait . Shee was eighteen or nineteen at least "

If you're expecting a low/no budget remake of ALIENS you'll be disappointed because this is a very dialogue heavy type of story where not much happens What makes it more irritating is how exposition is given out to the plot . If you've read the plot summary on this page it tells you all you have to know as to how the story plays out

This is called a Canadian movie but it is an American Pay TV movie set in Alaska but filmed in Canada to save money. It is basically a story of germ warfare; with a twist. American scientists working on a project in futuristic Alaskan Laboratory find a new terror weapon. Any more explanation would be a spoiler. Rather simplistic movie worth watching after midnight if there is nothing else to watch. Most simple storyline would be ..Alien meets Alaska. 3/10 is about what this film deserves and i would like to say that i am in reality -being generous. The type of film where you watch and watch only to see if you were correct in your guesses as to what the plot will bring about. Simple and when it ends it ends--finally. the end

I rented this once and thought it stunk. What possessed me to re-watch this, I don't know. Oh, wait, yes, I do know: I felt like re-watching some recent rubbish sci-fi/horror flicks. Amazingly so, "Deep Evil" isn't actually all that bad as I remembered it to be. I blame that on the fact that by now I have watched a considerable amount of infinitely worse flicks already. So, in some underground facility the government has been experimenting with an alien substance. Those folks just never learn. Of course the alien organism evolves and grows out of control. A team of highly trained military folks are sent in to secure things (as in: blow the whole thing to kingdom come). Amongst them, that 'what the hell happened to my career'-guy Lorenzo Lamas. Our team gets to fight against (in following order): alien water (yes, you read that right), hundreds of silver alien spiders and eventually rubber-suited humanoid alien creatures. Far from anything special.

Another good TV movie from the folks at Insight, The premise of the movie was quite well thought out although I think the story was strong enough to support a longer movie.

Could have spent a little more time with character development I think as there were some strong characters that could have had more introduction and development.

Although a little rushed i think it was an enjoyable movie.

Good work guys, wish I was with you on that one. Look forward to whats next. Matt

Please Please Please don't watch this. i am 23 years old and consider myself a bit of a movie buff, i have seen countless movies (good and bad) but nothing has effected me this way, this movie should never escaped the studio. It is a pox on all that watch it. It is seriously appalling. Not just bad, as some movie are, it seems to attain a new standard of s**t that was previously un-attained. I refuse to even mention the details of the movie in this post as it weakens my moral fiber to even consider inflicting this on another human being, actually I'm not only sorry i watched this film but I'm sorry for posting this and piquing anyone else's curiosity enough to watch it. Please don't, seriously, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!!
