The Rift (1990)

When Siren 1 disappears, the government calls in it's creator Wick Hayes.  Wick doesn't want any part of this mission but they plan on blaming him for the failure, even though they modified his plans and kicked him off the project.  

Feeling trapped, Wick heads onto Siren 2 where he is greeted by an unenthusiastic crew who think he's to blame.  To make things more uncomfortable, his ex also shows up with the military to help with the rescue.

When they get down into the depths, they find seaweed growing which is odd since nothing should be growing at this depth. A sample shows it’s highly toxic to fish.

They also find a pressurized cavern under the ocean where someone has been doing experiments. There is lots of equipment and signs that people have recently been there.  When they hear noises in the holes in the walls, they peer in. A cute little creature comes out and kisses them on their helmets.  No, of course it doesn’t. It’s a harbinger of death.

It’s standard 90s ocean horror with a few names you’ll recognize and some exploding heads.


Suited up for exploring the cave
Oh no, don’t put your head so close to that hole.
A nicely done head explosion
I’ll be fine. Nothing to see here.
