A star rating of 3 out of 5.

Alan Jones

Tremors meets Titanic in this cheesy but entertaining movie from director Stephen Sommers (who went on to box-office gold with The Mummy franchise). It's a gory horror tale in which a hi-tech pleasure cruiser on its maiden voyage is overrun by modern-day pirates, then attacked by a multi-tentacled, Hydra-like creature. The film navigates an ocean of hilarious monster-movie clichés and derivative special-effects sequences, while Treat Williams does a decent Kurt Russell impersonation and Famke Janssen lets her wet T-shirt do the acting. This gruesome fantasy doesn't skimp on memorably tacky death scenes (a victim sucked through a toilet!), and there are plenty of familiar faces among the cast (including Wes Studi, Jason Flemyng and Djimon Hounsou).
