Title: Monsters on a boat Post by: Joe the Destroyer on February 14, 2007, 10:31:49 PM I recall seeing a movie when I was a kid that had some strange serpent-like creatures on a boat (not Deep Rising; this was early 80's). I don't remember too much else about the movie except one scene in which a guy is assailed by one of them and begins bashing it with a fire extinguisher, or something along those lines.
The only other thing I remember is that the film was extremely dark and that the creatures had what appeared to be skulls for heads. I could be wrong about the latter part, as I was only about 3-4 when I saw this.

My money is on "Leviathan" with Peter Weller. Here's the IMDB Page: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097737/
However, none of these take place on a boat (the first two take place on an underwater lab/mining facility and the latter takes place on a submarine and secret cave system deep within the ocean depths) so I'm probably wrong. :wink: But after all the snow we've gotten in my neck of the woods, maybe Hell has frozen over. In that case, I could be right! :teddyr: Title: Re: Monsters on a boat Post by: Joe the Destroyer on February 15, 2007, 06:45:30 AM It's none of those. It actually predates them. If I remember right, the title had either "within" or "inside" in it.
Title: Re: Monsters on a boat Post by: Javakoala on February 15, 2007, 07:00:49 AM This sounds like The Intruder Within. Chad Everett was still trying to play the leading hunk years after "Medical Center" was cancelled. As soon as I read the original post, this is the movie that sprang to mind. Fits the time frame and the monster had a head that resembled a skull. Here's the IMDb link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082565/ (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082565/)
Hope this helps. Title: Re: Monsters on a boat Post by: Joe the Destroyer on February 15, 2007, 03:40:57 PM Yeah, I think that's actually it. I've been wondering whether or not I fabricated that one. Thanks!

The film actually takes place on an oil drilling rig instead of a boat.

I enjoyed the movie, it's worh watching :thumbup:

I was about 4 the last time I saw it, so I thought it was boat. I wouldn't mind picking this one up sometime in the future, for the sake of nostalgia if nothing else. Of course, I'll have to do a little digging, but it's worth it. |
