When a band of ruthless hijackers invade the world's most luxurious cruise ship, they're shocked to discover the passengers have mysteriously vanished! But that doesn't mean they are alone! Something terrifying is lurking just out of sight: a deadly force from the unexplored depths of the ocean that begins to snatch the horrified intruders one by one! A group of heavily armed hijackers board a luxury ocean liner in the South Pacific Ocean to loot it, only to do battle with a series of large-sized, tentacled, man-eating sea creatures who have taken over the ship first. A band of high seas hijackers led by (Wes Studi) hire a hard knocks sea captain (Treat Williams) to rendezvous with a luxury liner. Purpose of the encounter is to rob the liner and destroy it. After boarding the most expensive ship afloat, it is discovered the ship has been terrorized by a giant squid like monster. The gory remains set the stage for the rest of the carnage. The human sucking monster with tentacles is pretty slimy and repulsive. If massive blood and guts thrills you, this will be a pleaser. Also in the cast are: Kevin O'Connor, Trevor Goddard and the sultry Famke Janssen. I saw this recently on VHS, and even that was a waste of money. This was undoubtedly one of the worst films I have in a very long time. I was not aware it was supposed to be a B grade film - perhaps if I was aware it was supposed to be crap, I may not have had such an overwhelming physical reaction to it.<br/><br/>The acting was poor, the monster was… well, unconvincing much of the time, the script had few moments that weren't pathetically lame. It was just bad.<br/><br/>There were only two redeeming features that I could see: 1. Famke Janssen looked damn good 2. The monster ate many of the whining characters I quickly tired of, much to my enjoyment.<br/><br/>Aside from that, it was mediocre rubbish I would not watch again, unless it was for the repeated pleasure of watching all the lame actors in it getting mercilessly slaughtered.
