1989 was the year of sea monster movies in Hollywood. After the success of James Cameron’s ‘The Abyss’, other filmmakers jumped on the wagon of undersea creatures and spectacular visual effects. George P. Cosmatos’s ‘Leviathan’ followed the trend and unapologetically borrowed inspiration from ‘Alien’ and ‘The Thing’. If you replace the creature from ‘Alien’ with the monster from ‘The Thing’ and set it underwater, you get ‘Leviathan’. It is a minor horror classic in its own right and an ambitious B-movie monster flick. More than thirty years since its release, ‘Leviathan’ holds up better or at par with the creature features from the 1980s. It follows a crew of underwater miners, who suddenly find themselves infected with a gene-altering disease that causes them to transform into hideous mutant creatures. The creature effects designed by Stan Winston involving the mutations looked nasty yet practical. The monster barely appears throughout the movie but its presence dominates the plot. Today, we are going to explain the origin and nature of the hideous mutant creature from the B-movie monster flick.
