Proteus

I used to have this movie on VHS back in the late 90's. I really enjoyed it, even though, the low budget does show in the lighting and special effects. No matter, the pacing is good and the acting decent. Also, I'm a big fan of Craig Fairbrass. Anyway, I enjoyed the movie so much, I managed to find a DVD of it on E Bay. It is a shame that the producers did not have more money for the budget. That would have improved the movie greatly.

This is a surprisingly decent science fiction horror movie, that rivals some big budget movies of the same genre. First, there's solid story in this movie, and the delivery by the actors were good. Second, the production was very good for a low budget movie. There's no corners that were cut to make it look as authentic as it can. Third the special effects were more than decent. In fact, in this area, it was much better done than more famous films such as the "Relic" and "Dog Soldiers", and many other movies that had bigger budgets. So, the producers of this movie has made careful planning of how to make this movie, and all the details came out right. The movie is almost in the league of Deep Rising, but that movie had much bigger budget, and it shows. Good science fiction horror, that's worth watching.

A group of drug smuglers are ship wrecked, and seek shelter on a near-by oil rig. As it turns out, it's not a oil rig at all, but a high-security genetic engineering where things went wrong, now there's monsters running around. This has to be one of the best film's I've ever seen! Excellent special effects, spectacular monsters, creative premise, a refreshingly non-routine script.....This is perfect! I want it on DVD!!!!!!!! Great twist at the end, too.
