Of course I've seen worse looking monsters...on worse films. <br /><br />I do love the tentacles they made for this movie, there's this one scene where we see the tentacles of the creature slithering through the hallways of this underwater mining rig and it just looks awesome! <br /><br />At the end of the day, Leviathan is a good monster flick, but the monster in the end could have been handled a bit better is all. <br /><br />I mean, what say you guys? Am I talking bullcrap?

It's better than Deep Star Six though! And it's a good film for the most part...the sets are pretty impressive, totally inspired by Aliens. <br /><br />Thanks for commenting Kaijinu! <br /><br />Franco Macabrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994905312221715861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293273378239831747.post-74276052902745203262014-06-04T12:44:34.627-07:002014-06-04T12:44:34.627-07:00Awesome list again!

Such a clever concept!<br /><br />And after seeing that fish thing in Leviathan, I think I'm ready to see it now!<br /><br />P.S.<br /><br />I think the big demon in Hellraiser is called The Engineer.
