12 Freakish And Terrifying Aquatic Monster Movies Explored In Detail
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 сер 2024
- Aquatic Monster films have existed since time immemorial; while some like Guillermo Del Toro’s The Shape of Water win Oscars, the others simply end up as unbearable B movies. However, sea monsters have continued to haunt us in almost every mythology, or sometimes they appear to be urban legends like the Loch Ness Monster. No matter what, these creatures are something to behold. In this video, we have compiled a list of the best sea monsters created in Hollywood’s history. A few films that feature here might not feel like Oscar contenders, but they definitely knew what to do with their monsters! Let’s begin, shall we?

I watch a few channels that do these kind of lists and I really like yours. Great use of visuals, smoothly written and you pack a lot into your compact videos.
Welcome aboard!

There is one more sea monster. That is The Megalodon from The Meg (2018).
@@MarvelousVideos almost forgot godzilla is a sea monster
@@boy_ka84 I'm thinking of watching that movie with a friend, since he likes prehistory, like me, and a family member!
Leviathan scared the shit out of me when I saw it on TBS for Easter 1996, granted this was years before I saw The Thing and Alien. Stan Winston and his team did some great work on it.

Deep Rising 1998
Deep Rising was always amazing movie for me. also it's sound/noise they attract too, it's show when dude reaches for sub machine, and they do slow mo scratch
I'm always glad to see 'Leviathan' get its flowers. It's such a grossly underrated film in my eyes. I know the creature effects aren't the greatest in the world, but the director at least had the presence of mind to hide them well with camera and lighting trickery.
A piece of trivia for anyone interested: the biggest misconception about the film is that there is only one monster. Wikipedia even gives this impression in its summary of the film. The truth is that there are 3: the Six-Pack/Bowman creature, the DeJesus creature, and the Cobb/Doc creature. The Six-Pack/Bowman creature is jettisoned from the research station toward the beginning of the film and is the creature that surfaces to attack the 3 survivors at the end. When the first creature is jettisoned, an appendage is severed from it by the platform hatch, which infects and assimilates DeJesus, mutating him into the second creature of the film. Finally, the first creature also manages to wound and infect Cobb as it is being jettisoned. Later in the film, Cobb begins to mutate while simultaneously assimilating the Doc, giving us the third creature. The Cobb/Doc creature is isolated somewhere in the research station and is killed in the implosion. The DeJesus creature is killed by Beck, crushed with the very same platform hatch that gave it life. And of course, the first creature is blown up on the ocean's surface in the film's climax.
I always thought that story had potential for something of an expanded universe, continued and built upon in comic books. Phenomenal movie. I sincerely hope it gets its due in the upcoming "In Search Of Tomorrow" documentary.
We definitely need more Movies with Kraken, giant Octopuses or aquatic lovecraftian Gods
And kaiju don’t forget kaiju
@@captaingoji3394 ....That's basically what he said.
@@Blutteufel Ehm, no. He said Krakens, giant Octopusses and lovecraftian Gods. While Kaiju can be Kraken like, those are two different species.
@@FelixS. I hate to break it to ya, but 'kaiju' is effectively a catch-all phrase for 'giant monster,' so yes, that is indeed basically what he said.
@@Blutteufel And I hate to break it to you but the Kraken and giant Octopusses were a thing way, WAY before Kaiju became a synonym (within some subcultures that is) for "giant monsters". Again: GIant Kraken can be Kaiju but would you refer to monsters from Greek mythology as "Kaiju"? That´s some next weeb-level shit then.
Just because you refer to giant monsters as Kaiju within your bubble doesn´t mean the term works as synonym for already existing concepts in general. So stop pretending otherwise. Your original comment was supposed to sound quickwitted and edgy but it failed, let me be very clear with this. And no, Kaiju =/= giant monsters in general, while it may refer to those in Japan and are commonly known by now due to popcultural relevance, they still adress a specific kind of movie monster / anime and manga monster etc. And a giant kraken is certainly not a Kaiju per se. Don´t let me start with Cthulhu which is on a whole different level.
Humanoids From The Deep scared the piss out of me as kid. We had on VHS, me and my siblings would try to finish the movie without being scared. anyways been trying to find this movie for so long now, I started to believe I made it up. Thanks, glad I found your channel!
on Shudder now
@@andrewrodgers2180 bet imma check it out
Deep rising, that was actually spooky but didn't realize it was a prequel for skull island. Cool.
What do you mean by skull island?
@@prarambh1589 well, I meant for it to end up being the island with King Kong and other (edit)- Super- deadly creatures we simply dub monsters on skull island.
Sweetheart was a very interesting film to me because i thought it was gonna be another “going crazy on an isolated island” type of film but when it was revealed to be a horror monster movie I was very surprised.
"I know you've been through hell..."
"Been? Bitch, we're still here!"
God bless Ernie Hudson.
Lmfao
You know, when you have a fight in water it feel more scary, because water is not the best element for humans in a bare fight against a creature that has total advantage
I read an article that a mad lad scientist decided to gather a bunch of water samples from Loch Ness and sifted through to find any species that hadn't been identified to figure out what Nessie was. He found an unidentified sample that would do well to explain it. A previously unidentified (at least within the loch) species of freshwater eel.
Rampage must have had the longest time between the game coming out and the movie remake, 32 years!
Great movie too😁
@@dragowolfraven3806 Didn't see it but I'm more of a one for old classic games
And I was actually surprised Larry the rat made a cameo.
Didn’t know this was a game till read your comment
@@eugenehatin.420 Well back in ancient times but Thanks
The creature in Underwater is based on Lovecrafts Cthulhu but the plot comes across way more like Dagon.
Even the monster looks more like how Dagon is described. I know he has a tentacle beard, but he looks more like a giant angler fish like the rest of the deep ones.
Dagon and Hydra are portrayed basically as the Adam and Eve of the Deep ones, so they look like them, just massive.
That's what I thought as well more like Father Dagon or Mother Hydra
True, Cthulhu's original children weren't half human, that was Dagon and the people of Innsmouth.
Humanoids from the deep is a great classic corman movie👍 love it
that BS still gives me nightmares!!!
The ending of underwater was crazy. Loved when cthulhu was unveiled.
Bruh, Deep Rising could've been an amazing lead in to the fucking Monsterverse...
But then we wouldnt have had godzilla in it. Remember Godzilla 98 made Toho very upset and werent too sure when selling the rights to godzilla for another american remake. I am complete shit at explaining that I even confuse myself
Ikr!
Including Lizzie was a stretch. For that matter, you could include Godzilla or Cloverfield monster.
I'm glad you included Leviathan. That's a classic.
In Humanoids from the Deep, they didn't "assault women for pleasure". They took them for mating. They were a ripoff from Lovecraft's Deep Ones.
Why Piranha 3D and not the original? It was far better.
I had no idea about a connection between Deep Rising and a Kong movie. I just figured it was just another "out of the frying pan and into the fire" horror movie ending. Cool.
I've always thought the Gill Man from original "Creature From The Black Lagoon" was a decent-looking monster (then as now). Thank you, Millicent Patrick, Universal Studios, director Jack Arnold, Ben Chapman, and Ricou Browning.
He still holds up just fine to me as well
@@mrspeigel3593 So very true. Hats off to Millicent Patrick, for designing Mr. Gillman!
Oh yeah, he was groundbreaking for his time in terms of special effects, and I agree that the look has aged remarkably well.
Ooh, I totally AGREE!!! :)
Oooh, I totally AGREE!!! :)
I just started watching your channel and I gotta say it’s pretty good👍 I’m a huge horror movie buff so it’s nice to see channels like this
There is this little gem of a mini series called Creature. It is about a monster shark that later comes out of the water and becomes humanoid, with the means of breathing air. awesome series worth watching.
I remember watching leviathan and thinking to myself, they ejected the body of the two shipmates who's bodies were changing. So essentially they let the creature out into the wild ocean and is now absorbing sealife and getting bigger and deadlier???
maybe that's how Deep Star Six's monster came to be... or any one of the other monsters now that I think about it...
There was a ridiculous shark movie called hammerhead man something like that which was about a scientist who try being his son back to life but his son transform into a shark hybrid and started killing anyone in its path. Oh this was an actual land shark who're the head is a shark but the rest was human and it was flat out scary but lame at the same time
Hammer head shark frenzy
sharkman or hammerhead (same film, 2 names) from 2005, has jeffrey combs in it
Well, thanks for telling me the names of the ones I didn't know.👍
Deep star six where more people die from accidents than the monster.
Great list - i watch all these films for their amazing FX ... if only they made more creature films instead of all the silly horror rubbish we get today.
Seriously! Monster/Creature Feature is my favorite genre but not enough good ones are being made right now.
Not sure I knew about the Deep Rising/King Kong connection before seeing this
*”the film would of been better if they used better effects” bruh the movie came out in 1989*
And?
If everyone in Florida saw Lizzie they would be like " Now that's a big one "
Great video again. Wow. Keep it up.
The shark attacks that inspired the movie Jaws were likely from a Bull Shark, at least the attack that happened in Matawan Creek.
I loved „Underwater“
The good old Bruce, you can´t make a list of aquatic monsters without Jaws
Yeah but Bruce is just a big Great white with a taste for humans
Bruce is freakish because he keeps attacking the orca even after he's met with extreme violence. Also he's a lot more aggressiv than mormal sharks
They massively dropped the ball with Jaws! Some juvenile Great Whites, especially the males, can be highly aggressive. They haven't yet learned to conserve their energy, so they'll attack and fight until they realise that it might not be such a good idea after all. Since Great Whites never stop growing, the older they are, the bigger they become. All the big and successful sharks live way down and are only seen if they want to be seen. Bruce should have been the kid while mum and dad, who would be much, much bigger should have made the sequels. Dad woulda been a total beast! Cunning, smart, and downright vicious!
Dude, I watched the host movie since I was a 5 year old child. This movie is really good.
GREAT CONTENT AS USUAL!!!!
I only suscribed ´cause you got the names of Deep Star Six and Deep Rising creatures! I´m a fan of these but I had never seen the names in other videos. Thanks Marvelous Videos
I love this channel! Insomnia sucks, something to watch that doesn't suck
These monsters sure are scary, especially what they do to their victims! I would not want to encounter them! I want to check them all out with my bro! Thanks for sharing with us!
'Deep Rising' is an underrated film. Granted bad CGI, original story; Good, the character Finnegan & company; Good, The only thing I will complain is ruining the twist ending of the creature. In the film it is implied that the "Creatures" were giant worms that live at the deepest depthes then revealed to be attach to one main, bigger, monster. Even if the twist is revealed it is still fun action flick. (Edit) OK the extra info about the ending leading to Skull Island makes sense and pretty cool.
You're missing the best one of all, GODZILLA. It lives in the ocean but can go on land
n sharctopuse, lake plasid, PotC Krakin, laviathin from atlantatlantis, Carbdes from sinbad, the Meg ect
Humanoids from the Deep that movie used to come on Fritz the Night Owl all the time.
Every now and then when im going through a lot in my life, i dream of swimming in green/brownish murky waters with sea monsters. Creepy af. Idk why i even get in the water lol 🤔😂
nice vid !
NICE VID!
15:53
Humanoids from the deep traumatized the hell out of me!
My older brothers took me with them.
They knew I was too young for that movie. I cried all the way home and I didn't eat anything green for month!!!!
i looovved the deep sea monster flicks of the 90s.
I have to nitpick, Lizzie is an American Alligator not a crocodile 👍🏻
Honestly, I think octulus was the best "creature" out of all of the rest. Bcuz of each tentacle being its own attacking appendage, It fooled me thinking that was the initial creature. The movie was cheesy, but the way they added octulus to the whole skull island mythos was cool asf....however Jaws had to be the best "movie" bcuz it seemed so real back then...the actors, the soundtrack, jaws lol it was 👌 awesome
so in underwater everyone went absolutely mad and either killed themselves or turned into fish people
Suggestion: ALL Demons of Charmed Explored in Detail
Love this channel, brought back memories of all these great monster movies and reminded me of some I forgot. Also hate to be that guy but first of all the Kraken is not from Greek mythology but from Norse or Viking. Also it looks like a giant octopus. Secondly The shark in the 1916 attacks probably was misidentified. It most likely was a bull shark which are man eaters and can survive in fresh and salt water, which the great white can not thank Neptune swim up fresh waterers' for long. I saw Jaws on the big screen when it first came out. It scared the barnacles off me. I was even wary of swimming in pools.Great stuff
Humanoids from the deep is bananas
It's a live action hentai
Yeah see some monster fish fetishes
Waith wath
This type of the stuff is the exact reason why I have thalassophobia
You and me both
Loved Deep Rising! Taped it off of TBS a long time ago because I saw Famke Janssen was in it!
Saw it in theater when it came out, it's a guilty pleasure…
Good video I really love it and give me that you like making videos and we're in the middle of summer right now why don't make your next water video about shark movies that came after Jaws I mean Josh is a good shot movie yes but it's not the only shark movie it was the first and now now let's see if you can focus on the movies that came after each with their own unique different movies like The Meg, 47 Meters down uncaged cage, sharktopus and Sharknado.
Leviathan: "One of the Soviet Seamen named Six-Pack"? Thats an error.
Deepstar Six: The Crew didnt "launch an attack". One of the characters detonated the underwater nuclear missiles as a self-destruct sequence.
Don't forget the mistake in Rampage. He says Lizzie can bite through helicopters but shows Lizzie attacking an A-10 jet.
Yeah, this video is full of errors. On the Sweetheart description had the boyfriends backwards too.
Not to mention the Kraken was never part of Greek mythology.
Great vide.
That was fricking amazing
Great list.
I met Peter Weller when he had just finished filming Star Trek. He is a WEIRD dude. He wouldn't let anyone help him who knew him, and I hadn't watched robocop in 15 years, so I got the... honor. He bought every single snickers bar we had and gave one to the cashier for dealing with his derisive insults. I made him feel guilty for it, I guess.
Very cool video
Deep Rising...one of my my top 10 fav underwater monster films
The creature from Peter Benchleys creature
20:04 Video; " According to Greek Mythology....."
Me; "THERE IS NO KRACKEN IN GREEK MYTHOLOGYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
20:10 Video "However, according to the Norse mythology, the Kraken was the largest of all sea creature"
Me "yes it is from Norse but I think we can safely say that the WORLD Serpent is probably a LITTLE bit bigger"
Didn't know the kong bit. Nice.
Watched Sweetheart last week. Kept my interest through whole flick.
All my years I always wanted a sequel to deep rising! Always wondered what creative monster they would come up with. Now I know it was suppose to be Kong! Wow thank you for putting this long desire to rest! Although I would have rather seen another original monster for a sequel. Could have been it's own universe.
i hope the Monsterverse will introduce an original aquatic Titan in the next movie or an adaptation from Toho like Ebirah or Manda
Crocodile from the everglades, huh? 😂
Ironic is that I have recently watched something that was talking about alligators in Australia an yet here I am wondering how they got crocs in Florida...
Cthulhu is way beyond Godzilla and other terrestrial creatures. In the Lovecraft Mythos, Cthulhu is a Great Old One, a divine being.
Speaking of pacific rim, im certain a wall built around the whole of the pacific ocean is magnitudes more expensive
than ANY Yeager mech
Also useless, the kaiju could easily break through them and one could even fly
@@geoffreydunsmore1561 Yep, as we seen
3:43 when an experiments going right is being a bad thing and it sounds weird
Lizzie's face kind of looks like Biollante from the Godzilla franchise.
I forgot about the ending from Deep Rising! You just triggered a memory of me seeing this at the movies and gushing with my friends afterwards about how awesome the sequel was going to be. The ending to Deep Rising was it's highlight. That, and Famke Janssen...
Was kinda worried you wouldn't mention Octalus... I love that movie.
We need a versus movie where Lizzie meets Gustave and battle for the title of King Croc.
I have that fear of deep water and things lurking in the depths, and somehow my brain finds it to click on this video. I’ll never sleep again..
That was fricking cool
In the movie Deep Rising at 59:08 to 58:11 you find out what the creature is, there's no mention of kit being an Octalus.
OMG, humanoids from the deeps, both ones, are scary!!!

Lochness is not "urban" legend its folklore
Eh, the cthulhu was was nice but they were really going for the character, it would have been crazy and awesome if the second they saw it, the surviving crew went insane. knailing the horror that lovecraft was so renound for.
They should give Ralph his own movie
One movie comes to mind that since Jaws was included, I believe it should have too. The movie Orca.
Deep Rising was a great movie spooky in a lot of places and hilarious in others....."Now What???" 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂
"Kraken was the offspring of Ketus and.." NOOOOOOOOOO! FUCK! HOW DO I HATE THIS! FUCK! KETUS IS THE "KRAKEN", AND THE KRAKEN IS FROM NORSE MYTHOLOGY! WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP DOING THIS!!! AAAAAH!
Sweetheart actually took me by surprise. it wasn't bad and I had no idea there was a creature in it at the start.
Dang it, I’ve seen all of these. Regardless of what the writer or director says, that was not Cthulhu is Underwater, and they should be embarrassed for trying to pass it off like that was the case.
Was it dagon
Why Did I get so excited when the host came on at 8:27? I havent even watched it?
Humanoids from the deep reminds me of H.P lovecrafts Dagon
That was the actual inspiration for the movie.
if octolas is from skull island, does that mean its the monsterverse version of the giant octopus that shows up in Toho?
If she's from the Everglades, wouldn't Lizzie be an alligator?
that was cool
I used to have a pet Red Bellied Brazilian Piranha named Paco. I had him for 7 and a half years.
Scaled up Octalus would be an ideal depiction of the Kraken.
It's the proof there aren't enough movies with underwater monsters.
The movie underwater was a total mess and a huge disapointment... the bad actors certainly didn't help.
So, except Deep Star Six and Leviathan... We really do not have any good monster movie happening in the depth of the ocean. (abyss is not an horror movie but it still checks out as awesome)
Sweetheart is CRIMINALLY underrated!
Leviathan totally ripped off the Thing
The one about the ravaging fishmen has me wondering are there already actual Fish-Goblins/Fish-Orcs in fiction, because they certainly act like them.
