DeepStar Six gets the 5 Minute Drive-In treatment in this fast 5-minute movie edit of the 1989 underwater sci-fi horror creature feature from Sean S. Cunningham, the director of Friday the 13th.

Edited by me, not AI. Spoiler warning: this is the whole wet disaster compressed into 5 minutes. Mild gross/violence warning: flooding, pressure panic, monster attacks, screaming, chest trauma, and deep-sea workplace safety that clearly died before the crew did.

DeepStar Six is Alien underwater, The Abyss’ weird cousin, Leviathan’s soggy neighbor, and a workplace training video where the lesson is “never go six miles under the ocean with people who ignore cave warnings.”

Miguel Ferrer yells like the ocean broke company policy. Greg Evigan tries to survive damp sci-fi nonsense. Nia Peeples gets stuck in a metal coffin with bad decisions. The monster looks like seafood got radicalized and came back for management.

For drive-in movie fans, B-movie freaks, bad movie fans, USA Up All Night survivors, Elvira fans, Creature Features viewers, Joe Bob Briggs followers, MST3K/RiffTrax addicts, grindhouse weirdos, 80s horror fans, creature-feature sickos, sea monster fans, and anyone who likes movie edits where every hallway is wet, doomed, and absolutely not up to code.

5 Weird Fun Facts:
1. DeepStar Six came out in 1989, the same year as The Abyss and Leviathan.
2. Sean S. Cunningham directed it after Friday the 13th.
3. Harry Manfredini did the score.
4. The monster was about 700 pounds and 22 feet long.
5. The sets used giant water tanks, because normal movie stress was not wet enough.

Sorry for the fun facts, but they add context/commentary and help support fair use. Also sorry not everything fits; five minutes cannot contain every Miguel Ferrer freakout, damp corridor, practical monster shot, and terrible undersea workplace decision.

00:02Six months at the bottom of the ocean.
00:04It's more than I bargained for.
00:05It's national security for you.
00:07We're on the turnpike.
00:08I'll see you in a few.
00:10I think there's a cavern under the site.
00:12It's too late to request a site change.
00:13You can't install a missile sled over a cavern.
00:16It's before the end of the week.
00:17Jerk.
00:17But this could be the only chance I'd get to make a study before we leave.
00:20You've seen one cavern, you've seen them all.
00:21In 1848, the English ship the Valiant reported that these waters contain mysterious creatures of all sizes and types.
00:27You've got to let me go out there.
00:28No, I'm too far behind you, kiddo.
00:29Fire in the hole.
00:32The seat floor, it's giving way.
00:34Oh, shit.
00:35Back it up.
00:37Are you guys all right?
00:38Yeah, we're okay.
00:39As soon as I scrape out my drawers.
00:40I want to see what you guys are sitting on.
00:42Shit.
00:45We lost the signal.
00:46Shit.
00:48We lost the remote.
00:53She didn't let her panic.
00:54Holy shit, I don't fucking believe it.
00:56Are you telling me they've disappeared?
00:57No contact.
00:58I've got contact.
00:59I don't think it's Seacat.
01:00It's smoking too fast.
01:08This is Deep Star.
01:09Please acknowledge.
01:10Deep Star 6.
01:12How do you read?
01:14What the hell is that?
01:15Look at that mother.
01:16I think we're a picture of a boss.
01:19It's gone.
01:20This is GSRB 2.
01:22Can we get it cleaned up?
01:29Thank God.
01:30First Jack is life's cross.
01:35Who's buying?
01:36She won't hold it.
01:37Come on.
01:38Come here.
01:43Spare yourself.
01:54See you guys.
01:55Thanks.
01:57What was that?
01:57That was our baby's heartbeat.
01:59We're leaving.
01:59Secure the missile slid before we leave.
02:01Decompression is postponed until we secure Vengelder's missiles.
02:10Yes.
02:12What the fuck?
02:14Idiot.
02:14What have you done?
02:15Secure the missile slid.
02:15What's the problem?
02:16You detonated the missile slid.
02:17Yeah, according to your procedure.
02:18Oh, Jesus.
02:28There's a power shortage in section six.
02:29Oh, the oxygen filtration system is wrecked.
02:31Seven, eight hours, maybe.
02:33That isn't our main problem.
02:34The cooling primary to the reactor was destroyed.
02:37So what'll happen when it goes supercritical?
02:39It'll explode.
02:39Two nuclear explosions in one afternoon has to be some kind of wreck.
02:42Hey, fuck you, pal.
02:43That's my procedure, okay?
02:45Isn't there a way we can repair the main lines to the decompression bay?
02:50Have you got that fridding in yet?
02:51Working out.
02:52I just want to have to seal over the leak right here.
02:54Okay, I'm clear of the airlock.
02:56Passed in yet?
03:00Goddammit, there's something in the fucking airlock.
03:08Oh, my God.
03:13I can't do that, Dan.
03:16The fucking plate's gonna blow up.
03:18They've got a surface in the escape, but it's the only chance we've got.
03:20Don't be an idiot.
03:21Don't you call me an idiot.
03:22Some form of arthropod.
03:23Can we kill it?
03:24I don't know.
03:26That thing could be anywhere.
03:29What the fuck are you doing, McBride?
03:30I need lunch.
03:38We're on the pot stage.
03:39Get the hell out of here.
03:40McBride!
04:02I'm gonna kill that son-of-a-bitch-nighter.
04:11I'm gonna decompress.
04:14I'm gonna get topside.
04:36Come on, it's time.
04:38Come on, it's time.
04:52No!
04:56It's Brian!
05:00Hey, listen, A, I left something you're gonna like in your video machine.
05:08Are we talking about Miss September?
05:09In a word, nasty.
05:10Is it hot?
05:10Oh, it's hot.
05:11Is it wet?
05:11It's wet.
05:12Is it smooth?
05:12Is it right?
05:13Yeah!
