Deep Rising (1998)

Elevator Pitch

A new cruise ship is disabled in mid ocean while a ex-military torpedo boat comes alongside allowing armed mercenaries to board, with the intention of taking it over. They find that the ship is deserted except for a female thief who has been shut up in a store and the owner with a few supporters in the ship’s vault. But on the ship as well is some sort of a marine monster which lurks in the water sloshing about in the alleyways. Their own craft is disabled, the cruise ship is slowly sinking, the monster threatens; can they survive?

Content

Just a smigin of people enjoying themselves in a big party before the ship is disabled. Scenes on the torpedo boat as the mercenaries prepare their weapons and then once on board the ship almost continuous running about in the corridors, often in water, being chased by the monster (or bits of it), shouting and firing their automatic weapons. There are some gruesome depictions of partially eaten people and distress as the monster grabs members of the team despite their fire power. Just a bit of drinking at the start, but no nudity or sex – if only we might say!
