A deep-sea mining crew, counting down to its last few days (well, first, of their project, and later, of their lives–ouch, that was pretty promo-like, huh?) 
and, seemingly out of nowhere, one of the crew members becomes infected with an odd sort of skin disease, which may lead back to a small, spider-like sea creature brought on board.
In any event, things don’t look good, and this disease is apparently something more.
Something very deadly.
This may also explain the sunken Russian ship they find, with the mysterious captain’s log and, well…one thing leads to another, and “Alien”-style fun ensues as members of the small crew are infected or killed.
The special effects are excellent, and with all this CGI crap we have today, its great to see these “genuine” effects, and they look great.
Overall, the movie isn’t bad, it sustains a good amount of suspense in parts, and George P. Cosmatos can handle a swift action scene quite well.
“Leviathan” ain’t bad or you can try “The Abyss” for similiar fun.
Enjoy!
