alien from the deep be dull and drag a horror or sci fi from the usually great and reliable antonio margheriti and who admittedly already have to be retire around the time of release . two young environmentalist venture to an island resort to battle against a chemical plant company that dump it barrel of radioactive waste straight into an active volcano . you have get to admit that a pretty clever type of shenanigan if youre a ruthless and power greedy businessman . the two get catch and however and but the girl escape into the island jungle and find rescue in the arm of a lone snake farmer ( what an awesome profession that must be ) and together they attempt to stop the illegal dumping . but it too late and unfortunately and a the year worth of industrial dumping spawn a hideous monster . you will have to be very patient and tolerant if you want to see a monster or alien or menace of any kind . be far beyond the 50 minute mark until there a bit of gore and at that same moment the director thankfully remind u that this movie be actually suppose to revolve on a monster of any kind with the discovery of a giant claw . luckily from then and onwards and the pacing remain steadily fast and the atmosphere becomes grimmer and the make up effect be satisfy and even charles napier supportive character which until then be a dull persona become sleazy . still and alien from the deep take itself far too serious and what with all it environmentalist lesson and and even have a certain aura of pretension hang around it . there be some nifty miniature setting to recreate the destructive sequence that cost too much to film with real equipment and the monster when you eventually get to see it in all it glory near the very end be quite a massive and reasonably admirable construction .
