A wonderful review of Fatal Depth has just appeared at genre website SFcrowsnest. From the review:
John Carpenter is my favorite director.
I think that’s pretty obvious if you’re familiar with my blog, Life After Gateway. My post “The Greatest Trifectas in Film History” made it clear that I believe him to be a visionary director whose massive appeal in the SF genre is on par with Cameron, Spielberg, and Abrams.

The Savage Deeps has made the shortlist for the 2020 CYGNUS Science Fiction Award.
This is an argument that has cavitated through every holiday season since 1988. I am hoping to put it to rest here, although obviously I realize there are always those out there who will continue to hold out and deny reality.
This list is likely to change from year to year, so take it with a grain of salt. But if you’re looking for a more grown up slant to your Christmas holiday season, try one or more of these films.
The magazine devoted to writers of thrillers, The Big Thrill, featured The Savage Deeps and yours truly back in January. In case you missed it, here is the article, written by David Healey. Enjoy!
“While the futuristic vision of the resources-challenged world is one thing, the action and adventure is another. Fans of submarine movies and fiction will enjoy the highly atmospheric tension and sheer claustrophobia of operating at great depths in what are essentially ocean-going spaceships.”
