No bigger than your dick. Yeah, the way the ocean came in, the pressure just crammed his whole body up into his helmet in a matter of seconds. We just buried his helmet.\u201d Too much information? Yeah, thought so. Join your faithful Grue-Crew \u2013 Chad Hunt, Bill Mulligan, Crystal Cleveland, and Jeff Mohr  \u2013 as they take a deep sea dive with Leviathan (1989), one of the many underwater-monster-themed films released during 1989-90.

IMDb   Director: George P. Cosmatos Writers: Jeb Stuart & David Webb Peoples (screenplay); David Webb Peoples (story) Music: Jerry Goldsmith Cinematography: Alex Thomson (director of photography) Creature Effects: Stan Winston Studios Selected Cast: Peter Weller as Steven Beck Richard Crenna as Dr. Glen \u201cDoc\u201d Thompson Amanda Pays as Elizabeth \u201cWillie\u201d Williams Daniel Stern as Buzz \u201cSixpack\u201d Parrish Ernie Hudson as Justin Jones Michael Carmine as Tony \u201cDeJesus\u201d Rodero Lisa Eilbacher as Bridget \u201cBow\u201d Bowman H\u00e9ctor Elizondo as G. P. Cobb Meg Foster as Ms. Martin Eugene Lipinski as Russian Captain Tom Woodruff Jr. as Lead Creature Chad is a natural-born monster kid from way back so it\u2019s not surprising that Leviathan is his pick. Even though it\u2019s obviously derivative of several other SF-horror films, he still enjoys it. He loves the comedic moments and doesn\u2019t get enough of the nasty, icky, gooey, and creepy Stan Winston Studios-designed creature.  Crystal liked Leviathan when she first saw it and she still likes it, for telling a compelling story that makes sense, for its effects work, and for its phenomenal cast, especially Peter Weller. On the other hand, Bill thinks Leviathan is a little too formulaic, holding very few surprises. Even though all the parts are there for an excellent movie \u2014 writers, directors, cast, cinematographer, and effects \u2014 it seems like there is something missing. Jeff had a fun time with Leviathan and he, too, loves the cast. He has no trouble believing they had spent six months together at 16,000 feet beneath the ocean\u2019s surface. A dash of Alien, a pinch of The Thing, and a smidgen of The Fly all added to the fun for him. If you\u2019re pining for a sea monster movie, Leviathan is a fun ride. As of this writing,  Leviathan is currently available to stream free with ads from Tubi & PlutoTV and on a variety of subscription and PPV streaming services. Every two weeks, Gruesome Magazine\u2019s Decades of Horror 1980s podcast will cover another horror film from the 1980s. The next episode\u2019s film, chosen by Jeff will be Halloween II (1981).
