Deep Rising
Deep Rising is a 1998 American action horror film written and directed by Stephen Sommers and starring Treat Williams, Famke Janssen and Anthony Heald. It was distributed by Hollywood Pictures and Cinergi Pictures and released on January 30, 1998. While the film was a critical and box office failure, it has been regarded as a cult film.
Captain John Finnegan and his crew, Joey and Leila, are hired by mercenaries Hanover, Mulligan, Mason, Billy, T-Ray, Mamooli, and Vivo to pilot their boat across the South China Sea to an undisclosed rendezvous point. Meanwhile, the Argonautica, a luxury cruise ship built and owned by Simon Canton, is undertaking its maiden voyage. Thief Trillian is discovered and taken to the brig. An unidentified saboteur disables the ship’s navigation and communication systems. Something rises from beneath and rams the vessel, leaving it dead in the water, and the passengers are slaughtered by unseen creatures.
A speedboat that the “Argonautica” has shaken loose collides with Finnegan's boat. The mercenaries seize control with the intention of looting the passengers and vault of the Argonautica and then using the torpedoes stored on board to sink the ship. Leaving Leila and Billy behind to repair the boat, the group boards the ship. The group reaches the ballroom only to find blood and no sign of the passengers. Finnegan and Joey go to the ship's workshop to scavenge parts to repair the boat under Mamooli and T-Ray’s guard. While repairing their boat, Leila is dragged away by the creatures. The creatures kill T-Ray as he investigates the unusual noises. Before dragging Mamooli away as well. Finnegan and Joey flee and encounter an escaped Trillian.
The mercenaries reach the vault, and Vivo opens it. However, Canton, who was hiding inside with Captain Atherton and three other passengers, mistakenly kills Vivo. Mason and Mulligan panic and accidentally kill the passengers. The mercenaries, Canton, & the Captain flee the creatures and subsequently encounter Finnegan, Joey, and Trillian.
Canton is revealed as the saboteur, having hired the mercenaries to sink the unprofitable ship so that he could collect on the insurance. The creatures appear as Canton and Captain Atherton fight, releasing a partially digested Billy after Finnegan shoots it. After the creatures attack and eat Captain Atherton, Canton theorizes the creatures are an evolution of Ottoia, which drain their victims of their bodily fluids and then eject the bloody carcasses.
As the survivors flee, Mason is grabbed by a creature. He kills himself by detonating a grenade. Mulligan elects to stay behind in the crew's galley until a rescue party can arrive. A creature approaches Mulligan, who scares it off with fire from the stove before being devoured from behind by another creature.
In a running battle, the survivors find themselves being herded. Attempting to rid himself of any witnesses to his insurance scam, Canton misleads the others to the bow while he moves towards an exit route. The group finds the bow is a "feeding ground" full of bloody skeletal remains. The creatures break through the hull, flooding the lower decks and separating the survivors. Hanover wounds Joey to slow the creatures but is eventually devoured by one. As an act of mercy, Joey leaves Hanover a gun. However, Hanover wastes his only shot trying to kill Joey and is consumed.
Finnegan and Trillian spot an island and return to Finnegan's boat, but—having lost the engine parts—find it useless as a means of escape. Joey returns and begins repairs, and Finnegan sets the boat's autopilot to crash into the Argonautica and detonate the torpedoes. Trillian returns to the Argonautica and locates a jet ski with the fuel they can use to reach the island, but Canton arrives armed with a flare gun. Canton demands Trillian to join him or hand over the keys, but she flees and he chases her. Finnegan pursues Canton to the ballroom on the main deck, saving Trillian. The creatures smash through the main deck and are revealed to be tentacles of a vast deep-sea cephalopod-like monster—the Octalus—rather than individual entities. The Octalus grabs hold of Finnegan, who shoots it in the eye, blinding it and freeing himself, and he and Trillian escape on the jet ski. Canton flees the Argonautica by jumping onto Finnegan's boat, but breaks his leg doing so. Crippled, he cannot disable the autopilot and dies as the boat crashes into the Argonautica, detonating the torpedoes and destroying both ships and the Octalus.
