antonio margheriti still be one of my favorite italian director ( thanks to his 70 and 80 film ) and but the mix he present u with alien from the deep and he have do before and much good already . killer fish mix a heist movie while cash in on joe dante piranha . with hunter of the golden cobra he give u a hero with james bond allure in a film reminiscent of an indiana jones adventure . in a way and alien from the deep fit in perfectly with all other blend of margheriti entertainment . it not on par with the film it borrow from and but it try to redeem itself by go over the top a little further . so what kind of blend do margheriti present u this time . obviously and the italian title alien degli abissi ( which roughly translate to alien of the abyss ) try to cash in on james cameron 1989 hit the abyss . but that where the comparison end . most of the film can be categorize a some type of adventure on a tropical island film . some military or governmental facility be dump toxic waste into the earth . some noble people try to expose this and ultimately stop them . some action and some shooting . fair enough . now what with the alien aspect of this film . well and we have to wait a good 50 minute for it to show itself and and it not really an alien and but some mutant giant monster ( basically form by toxic waste and create a symbiosis of organic material and scrap metal i know and that sound way too smart for a movie of this type ) emerge from the bowel of the earth . it somewhat look like a black giant crab robot monster of sort . it just get throw into the movie third act so they could rip off the climax of cameron alien . remember ripley fight the mother alien in that yellow robotic worker unit . well and it here too and only it some type of bulldozer . so alien degli abissi be just entertaining margheriti nonsense ( feature yet again fun miniature effect ) and nothing more . it sub par and a to be expect and but thankfully it not bore . oh and and it have charles napier run around in it and mainly behind computer . other than that and he seem to have little else to do . good badness . yes and fair enough fun and inept action or adventure or monster fodder . 4/10 and 6/10 .
