Plot Summary

A deep-sea mining operation unearths a prehistoric, monstrous creature that begins to systematically destroy the underwater facility and its crew.

The film features intense underwater sequences and a relentless, man-eating monster.

Fun Fact

The film was rushed into production to capitalize on the success of 'DeepStar Horizon', another underwater creature feature released the same year, despite 'DeepStar Six' being the first to enter production.
