About this deal

They all of them, harbour their own fears and insecurities. Add enough paranormal elements to further exploit this emotional turmoil and the results are: Scientists are at the bottom of the ocean looking for a cure to a disease called the 'Gets (short for Forgets). Don't worry about knowing anymore since the Gets since it doesn't really matter and is never explained. The scientists are looking for a miracle substance called Ambrosia that can cure pretty much anything except boredom for the reader. What is Ambrosia exactly? Where does it come from? Don't ask because you won't find out except some vague allusions toward the end. There's more mysteries hidden by the sea than you or I can fathom and once in a while she unravels one..." I DVRed The Deep (1977) because I knew it was based on the Peter Benchley novel. I’ve been meaning to read the book as part of my nostalgic 1970s horror reading tour. Finding the movie playing was one of those portentous moments where I decided the universe was talking to me, and it was convincing me that it was time to return to my 1970s tour. I was in the mood for a movie geared towards giving me a few entertaining thrills, spills, and chills.

I hate the frigging ocean and deep water!! It's one of my biggest fears. My dumb ass just needs that scare factor so I read this book.

Riordan confirmed on March 7, 2021, that Daughter of the Deep was "crafted with screenwriting structure and development". He also said that there are talks of a possible future feature film adaptation for the book. [11] He reaffirmed the plans for a film on October 24, 2021, whilst confirming that he would be co-writing the film with Aditi Brennan Kapil. [12] Cutter throws all kinds of horror tropes at the reader - a pandemic, body horror, extradimensional gates, ancient evil/Lovecraftian creatures, The Thing-like creatures that pull themselves together after having limbs or heads cut off, self-mutilation, insane ramblings in diary entries, Stephen King-like horrible parents, scary boxes and crawling body parts, eeeeendless hallucinations that might not be hallucinations, an abducted child, wanting sex while terrified (that said, it's never actually done, which makes a change). Amphibious Physiology and Anatomy: The Deep possesses a hybrid set of human lungs and aquatic gills enabling him to not only breathe on land but also underwater for as long as he likes. He can also endure cold temperatures and see in the dark depths of the ocean. And oh boy, a creepy good start introduces us to an atmosphere of unbearable heat, a crawling jungle and a man infected with the 'Gets disease..."a plague decimating humanity on a global scale." Finally there is Al, a woman who pilots the submersible that takes down to the Mariana Trench where The Deep is set. Her defining characteristic? Um, well, she's a woman, I guess. We barely see her and she only shows up to move what little plot the book has along. When she meets her end, you barely notice or care.

Cutter reels you in slowly, a bit at a time, you manage to swallow some pretty foul tasting medicine but you keep going, venturing forward-- and then, when you're nice and hooked in the lip-he rips you the rest of the way through the book!

He is working on a cure for the 'Gets. A plague that is sweeping and killing most of the country. You start not remembering little stuff, then the bigger stuff, then you just forget how your body functions and you croak.Finally, certain aspects of the ending don’t really add up if you really stop and think about it. No spoilers here, but suffice it to say there were a couple things that didn’t fully work for me. Marine Life Enhancement: The Deep has the ability to enhance the natural abilities of marine life that he controls. A sperm whale under his control was easily able to overtake and pass a speedboat, ordinarily highly unlikely as sperm whales have a top speed of 45 km/h (28 miles/h). The Hesperus has received a transmission from Clayton asking for Luke to come home. An animal doctor who is estranged from his gifted brother, Luke's presence on the Hesperus is nevertheless seen as critical. His escort is Lt. Commander Alice Sykes, a jocular servicewoman who asks Luke to call her "Al". Before they submerge, Luke is briefed on an unsettling development. One of the three scientists in the Trieste, or what's left of him, has surfaced. Madness and a high tolerance for pain are the only explanations for what might have happened, along with a message written in the submersible in blood.

It fills bathtubs and pools and yes, of course, the ocean- but at a certain depth, water becomes a barrier from all you remember, all you think you know. Ten-Cent Daisy, a fantasy drama film centered on a Caribbean family who adopted a mermaid. The introduction mentions the belief that enslaved people thrown from slave ships have survived beneath the water in other forms. The production was responsible for a number of technical firsts, including Al Giddings' Petermar camera system and the use of specially modified 5000-watt "Senior" luminaires to provide cinematic lighting underwater. [13] The world's biggest underwater set was dug at the summit of a historic Bermuda hill formerly known as Hospital Island at Ireland Island South. [11]

So down Luke, the protagonist of The Deep, goes. Down into the frigidly cold depths of darkest, unexplored sea. Down into a claustrophobic metal spider of a habitat protects its frail human and animal cargo from the immense pressure of the world outside. Down into a nightmare where the truth of Ambrosia, its origins, and its purpose are revealed.
