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.

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

The CGI effects, the "liquid metal" type reminiscent of those in Abyss and T-2, are the real star of what is a pleasing combination of Alien and The Thing. Lorenzo Lamas is the sole bit of recognizable star power, but he's purely incidental to how enjoyable this flick turns out to be. Pour a drink, open a bag of chips and turn off your brain while you watch this one. If you take it too seriously you're going to end up bitter and twisted...just like many of the IMDb Users whose comments seem to be coming from either film-school dropouts or Hollywood wannabees. Or both. Remember - it's called the "willing suspension of disbelief" for a reason. Are we talking Academy awards here? Nope. Instead we have an hour and a half of cinematic popcorn - tasty enough to entertain but nothing that will stick with you for long. The folks at First Look Home Entertainment and DEJ Productions have given us another solid effort. Keep 'em coming, guys.

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!!!!!!

A really pathetic wannabe SF movie. When we have; A lame story in a mixture of lousy dialogs and superb poor acting followed by some bad CGI effects and an awful creature design, can we consider this in the slightest way as a good movie? I don't think so!!! This movie will bother and annoy the more quality viewer among you big time and this for many reasons. A highly contagious virus escapes, which seems to be a morphing drop of water, and we see a special unit (Delta team) running around in one of the most poor protection suits I have ever seen in a movie. Is it normal in these kinda situations that the women of this so called "hard-boiled" Delta team are running around with this suit half open onto their breasts? I know the term "sexy" sells but please leave some credibility! Would you feel comfortable running around in an infested area like this? Not even to mention the so pathetic "Jerry Bruckheimer", "Hero" wannabe soundtrack. This is maybe fun for the American viewer but turns really quick into annoying and pathetic for an audience outside the States. Once again we have that over the top "Hero, patriotic" feeling the director wants to shove us with, poor really poor. This TV movie is a waste of time, money and energy. And I'm not talking about their money or whatever; I'm talking about my time, money and energy!!! Avoid like you would avoid a virus-infested area!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dario/ 1/10

This is a terrible movie. Nearly every depiction of the US Army is wrong in it - from the way they talk, wear their berets, rank, branch insignia, etc. If a director doesn't know anything about the military (and most don't) why not ask someone instead of making a movie that looks stupid? And the monsters made no sense either. There was no real science in this science fiction. The whole story just wasn't very well thought out. The actors seemed okay, and I amazed they could keep a straight face while speaking such horrible dialogue. If I had the resources (actors, production crew, $$$$, etc.) these people put into "Deep Evil" I could have made a film that would have grossed over $100M in theaters, instead of crashing and burning on cable TV. How do these guys find the funding to make such crap?

Typical SyFy snooze fest. You've seen it many times before; you know the characters and you know how it ends. Don't watch when you are tired; you will fall asleep.

A mate of mine pointed out to me just how many horror/Sci-Fi movies there exist dealing with random military men (and women) being sent into a top-secret and geographically remote government research facility or underground lab to eliminate some sort of experiment that went horribly wrong. As a matter of course, these people haven't got a clue what they will be battling against and, regardless of their intense training and superior skills, they get mercilessly ripped to pieces by something (usually an alien or a genetic experiment) much stronger and slimier than them.

Oh my, yes! There are so many flicks like that! James Cameron's "Aliens" is presumably the pioneering role model, because notably the 90s and early 2000s brought forward a copious amount of "send in the military" or "something's creeping in the underground lab" B-movies. "Deep Evil" is one of them, and proudly puts a tick in every box on the cliché-list, including the isolated location (Alaska), strange phenomena (alien water drops), macho soldiers (Lorenzo Lamas as the 'artillery & explosives' expert), and secrecy above all (if the monster doesn't kill you, the government will).

"Deep Evil" is a bad film, but I can't bring myself to write too many harsh and negative things about it. You know what to expect (or, at least, you should know) when choosing a film like this to watch, so what's the point in complaining how terribly unoriginal the script is, or how awfully cheap looking the stunts and special effects are? The idea of an aquatic alien species is reasonably interesting (although still stolen from, again, James Cameron and his "The Abyss") but the plot does the dumbest and most illogical things with it; - for example drops of water that turn into silver-colored spiders that look pathetically fake. The cast truly excels in giving the worst possible performances as possible. Of course, they're all well trained in this domain. Lorenzo Lamas honestly never starred in anything half-decent in his life, and Ona Grauer is the "star" of such Uwe Boll classics like "Alone in the Dark" and "House of the Dead".

This is a typical movie about aliens loose in a confined environment. The presence of Lorenzo Lamas only proves that he is on a descending curve as casting is concerned and he has a really secondary role that involves no foot work, so he doesn't really belong in the movie.

There are a lot of loopholes in the plot, but how does care? This is a monster movie, just produce the monster, let him loose on people that we don't know and don't care about and maybe, just maybe, let a few of them alive to be cast in some other movies.

Someone mentioned the effects, they were not great. If you count greenish, reddish, yellowish liquids coming out of twitching people as special effects or you like quick morphs between computer generated aqua and people dressed in plastic, then this is the movie for you.

Actually, the only good scene of this movie is when the young daughter of the general i doing an erotic dance for Lamas at the beginning of the movie. From then on, the movie just keeps going downwards :)

I literally only made an account to point out that Deep Evil and The Thing Below use the exact same scene in the lab. In The Thing Below it's when the main character's brother is talking about what happened when they drew blood. In Deep Evil, it's when they're exploring the lab and getting a sample.

Deep Evil (2004) - DNF First hour 3.7 out of 10 stars, but took a dive to 1 star after that Time to Read: 1:45 min

BASIC PLOT: In Alaska, there's been an incident. A top secret lab has been breached. Alien experiments are loose, and a team of scientists are escorting a platoon of Delta Force into the faculty, so they can retake it away from what's lurking inside.

WHAT WORKS: *ACTING IS ABOVE AVERAGE I was surprised at how good the acting was for such a low budget TV film.

*THE STORY IS DECENT The first hour was an enjoyable, low budget watch.

*SPECIAL EFFECTS ARE DECENT For such a low budget movie, the first hour's special effects were more than believable, not original, but believable.

WHAT DOESN'T WORK/WHY I TURNED IT OFF: *TRAINED TO WORK IN HOT ZONE means you never take off your suit, no matter what. These people are heavily trained, and wouldn't take off their suit, NO MATTER THE CAUSE! These problems could be fixed with some minor rewrites. Why not have the suit be defective?

*DELTA FORCE WOULD NEVER DISOBEY ORDERS, EVER! Anyone who knows anything about Delta Force knows they are the best our country has to offer. They don't get rattled! Not by watching their partner die, not by seeing aliens, nothing. They are the most squared away MF'ers out there, and they wouldn't do something stupid, like take off their haz-mat suit, because their partner got shot (so they could feel for a pulse). They wouldn't scream at their commanding officer to break quarantine, because one of the team was infected. If his Major Ross (Adam J. Harrington) ordered Trainor (Lorenzo Lamas) to kill his team mate, to stop the spread of infection, and save the population on the United States, he'd shoot her in the head! He wouldn't cry and scream and pound on a door! They've seen violence, they've seen their brothers in arms get killed, in terrible ways, right in front of them. None of that would make them fall apart in a combat zone. Again, this is easily fixed by having them be regular army. Alaska is remote, and this is a situation that requires IMMEDIATE attention. Maybe regular army is all you have to use, and they are not nearly as good or as disciplined as freaking Delta Force.

*WHY IS THE WOMAN ALWAYS THE F_CK UP? Why does it always have to be the woman who's the screw up? Captain O'Brien (Rachel Hayward) removes her haz-mat suit, and becomes hysterical, because her partner is shot. Believe me, any woman who made it into Delta Force, would not be soft.

*WATER ALIENS AREN'T ORIGINAL It's a direct rip off of O Segredo do Abismo (1989), but at least the special effects were ok.

TO RECOMMEND, OR NOT TO RECOMMEND, THAT IS THE QUESTION: *I can't recommend this movie. My suspension of disbelief dissolved at the hour mark, when people began behaving against their characters. The whole team became a bunch of mewling babies, crying for their mamas, when the fate is the world is at stake. That's insulting to every member of Delta Force, past and present. Just ask Chuck Norris (just kidding!)

CLOSING NOTES: *THIS IS A MADE-FOR-TV MOVIE, please keep that in mind before you watch/rate it. TV movies have a much lower budget, and so your expectations should be adjusted.

*I HAVE NO CONNECTION TO THE FILM, or production in ANY way. This review was NOT written in full, or in part, by a bot. I am just an honest viewer, who wishes for more straight forward reviews (less trolls and fanboys), and better entertainment. Hope I helped you out.

What keeps Deep Evil just about afloat are the creepy first half-hour and the good creature design(The Creature from the Black Lagoon comparison is definitely apt). The acting is also competent, nobody is terrible but nobody apart from Lorenzo Lamas perhaps stands out either. Deep Evil however was the sort of movie that started off with promise but went in a downward spiral very quickly. There is nothing interesting about how it looks, how it's shot is dully lit with a use of bland colours. And most of the special effects are generically coloured and look as though they were constructed in a rush at last minute. The music doesn't drive the movie at all, in fact it is a very lifeless soundtrack and is just forgettable at the end of the day. The dialogue is very turgid stuff, full of tiresome clichés and full of lines that make you go "what do they mean by that?" How the actors managed to keep a straight face or not look embarrassed is quite an accomplishment. The story is often slow to the point of boredom, and is predictable and like Alien mixed with The Thing but with hardly any of the suspense, thrills or nail-biting horror. The deaths are generally weak, in number and how they're played, and the alien(s) are not threatening in the least and are developed and characterised very poorly. The science and the depiction of the military will raise eyebrows and even annoy/anger people. There is very little interesting about the characters and you don't care for a single one. To conclude, not bad to start with but from half-an-hour in it's very bad. 3/10 Bethany Cox

I personally thought it was an interesting movie. Of course it helps that I am a huge Scifi buff. There is always a problem when anyone who tries to compare a "B" movie, to one that I always have called an "A" movie. However I did take the time to read as many reviews as possible. The reviews I did read were very interesting to say the least. There was one scene that I agree had no place in the movie. I won't mention the scene, just in case you haven't seen the movie. Movies that I watch need to have the twists and turns to keep me interested enough to watch all the way through. But you know as well as I do, you can read all the reviews you can find. But at the end of all this research, you have to watch the movie and judge for yourself. TTFN

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

Right, well initially I didn't really have much of any expectations or hopes for this 2004 movie titled "Deep Evil".

Why? Well, because it was a TV movie starring Lorenzo Lamas. Yeah, I can't really claim to think that he has been much of a grand talent in my eyes. But still, I was given the chance to sit down and watch it, so I did.

And color me impressed. This movie was actually rather enjoyable. Especially because it felt very much like a movie I would have seen during my childhood in the 1980s, perhaps even in my teens during the 1990s. It had that particular feel to it, and I must admit that appealed to me. I mean, there is just something about a secret military research facility and having an alien lifeform running amok.

I dare actually go as far as to say that this was even the best movie I have seen Lorenzo Lamas in.

The special effects in "Deep Evil" were good, and actually still are sort of passable even today. Sure, it is not photorealistic effects, but they work very well to suit their needs and purposes.

I enjoyed "Deep Evil" and thus I am rating it a six out of ten stars.

Super-duper soldier Lorenzo Lamas and his elite military team are sent into a secret facility where scientists have been working on a bio weapon.

Something has gone horribly awry.

The team, led by a supermodel / scientist must enter the lab and save humanity. Upon their arrival, our heroes encounter living slime from a meteorite that infects a team member, causing her to jiggle and fester. Lorenzo squints and gives everyone a stern look.

Can this ooze be stopped before it goops up the world?

DEEP EVIL contains thespians from the human-caber school of acting, employing video game-level dialogue. We're also treated to cartoonish CGI for extra laughs. As an added bonus, people in rubber alien costumes run around for a few nanoseconds.

A true sub-sludge classic...

This movie surprised me. I thought I was in for some "Pure Quality" But this was better than I expected.

Even though this movie had nothing original in it, deep evil managed to take all those stolen concepts and put them together really well. I noticed a few scenes straight from The Rock and Phantoms. But Liquid alien, underground laboratory, biological weapon gone wrong, commando team sent to fix the problem ...... come on. Deep Evil makes it work!!!!!!!!

The only reason I can see for it getting such a low score on IMDb is the CGI must have been done by David Hasselhoff's first grade fan club. It was pretty bad. But probably because I'm used to that sort of trash, I wasn't phased. Even the bad CG helicopters was repelled off my mental block of badness.

If you have a high tolerance for low budget computer graphics, I'd recommend this movie to you.

The movie is called "Deep Evil . . ."Deep-Evil." (*Snorts with laughter*) Great . . .just great. I'm in hell, this is hell right? Yep. I think I'm in hell.How do you name a movie Deep Evil ? is this a more provocative evil ? a more sensual and richer type of evil ? I'm really interested . . .Haha! I sincerely hope that this did not reach the overseas market, because if it has,our diplomatic relations with other countries is justifiably moot. I think this movie would be better off being tweaked to include all of Jeff Goldblum's scenes from Jurrasic Park, I really do . . .or at least they should have stolen stock reels from the movie "The Abyss" HaHaHa . . .Someone call the fire department this one's out of control !
