It is a horror movie from the middle of the eightees or earlier. I always thought it was called "the abyss" but thats a completly diffrent one.

It is about a team of people who are going to investigate a research center who hasnīt been heard from for awhile. It is located under the ice of maybe Antarctis , And this team is travveling there by a submarine. And when they arrive they find it completely desserted, they think....

the research was about animals i think, but finally they have had enough and took revenge on all the staff.


I have not seen it since the 80th so I can be wrong somewhere.

I remember it as a really good movie, but it could be lousy. But I really want to see it again, I hope someone can recognice it.

That's what I was dreadfully thinking until the submarine part.

its probably one of those zero $$ movies starring Leo Rossi and Kathy England (as the beautiful model/scientists) .. genetic mutations gone wrong.

Definitely not "the thing" I am absolutely sure it was Under the ice and they traveled there by a submarine. The plot on "deepstar six" and leviathan doesnīt feel right but the name leviathan sounds familiar anyway. and 1989 feels abit late but itīs not impossible.
Anyhow, Thanks alot for Your effort!

It sounds like a cross between The Thing, Leviathan and The Land That Time Forgot....remember, they were in a submarine and going through an ice tunnel to get to where the dinosaurs were? Wierd.

Sounds like it could only be one movie.

Looks like a good time for a sing-a-long kids......ready.....






In the town where I was born,
Lived a man who sailed to sea,
And he told us of his life,
In the land of submarines,

So we sailed off to the sun,
Till we found a sea of green,
And we lived beneath the waves,
In our yellow submarine,

We all live in a yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine,
We all live in a yellow submarine,
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine,

hehehe, the movie is not really about a submarine, They just use it in the begining to reach the research center or whatever, since it was located under the ice, the only way to reach it was with a submarine. well it made sence to me then anyway.
And it is not a "hidden world" they find, it is a man buildt construction.
Not "boa" this one is from the eightes, or earlier.

Yes, this must be it, illegal genetic experiments, mutant creatures, and submarines.
I have a strong feeling that here in sweden, the movie was called the same as "the abyss", making it impossible to find.
But 1990 !? it feels late, but this must be it.

Yes! thanks alot! this is definitely the one. I found the Swedish name for it.
The movie "the Abyss" is called "avgrunden" wich means just 'abyss' or 'chasm'.
and "the rift" is called "sprickan till avgrunden" meaning sort of "the crack to the abyss"
Now when i know the name of it, it will probably be easier to find.
I surely will be dissapointed when I see it as any other movie not seen in about 20 years, but now I just must see it.
Thanks again!

Uh....I thought I might as well mention, the last time I saw this was the first time, and that was in 1990 with some friends. And.....there was a lot of stupid stuff in it mixed in with the fun stuff. Careful there!
