The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Owww… my head hurts, and my wallet. I just spent my hard earned money on this movie, not to mention an hour and a half of my life!Okay, the best thing is the cover art on the tin – a set of giant jaws coming up from the dark depths, and looked pretty cool. The story is standard fare – strand em, then kill em. The back-story is a drilling rig out in the middle of the ocean. Caught in a storm at the same time they punch through into an underground (under seafloor) cavern and release a monster. The opening scenes were good - something comes out of a deep vent and swims towards the camera - huge teeth are shown... and then everything goes dark….No seriously, I mean real dark! The shots of the creature are mostly so dark I felt like I needed to grab some night- vision goggles cause most of the movie is pitch black. The first killing takes place on the rig… in a small room! Okay, so we know now its not huge. But wait, they soon find shed skins… is it growing Alien style? It's picking them off one by one (will we humans never learn?), and gives you the monster-cam view of things - wobbly and blurry. But don't worry, towards the end you do get to see the thing (spoilers alert) and crikey, what am i back in the 50s? It looked like some guy in a black wetsuit wearing a web- crown and a bad dental plate – a bit like the Creature from the Black Lagoon with a breathing problem. The only cliché they could have included to top it off was to have the hero blow the thing up, with himself being sacrificed at the same time… and then have him miraculously survive… and then also having the thing jumping back out for one last kill!Oh wait, they did!

Wow, can someone please give me the directors number as he owes me 2 hours of my life back. Easily the worst movie I've seen of late.I'm not usually reviewer, nor a movie critic, but if i can save someone from watching this movie then I will have achieved some sort of personal satisfaction for the torture that I received whilst watching it.The 2 positive things i can take from this movie is that 1)i saw some boobs and 2) it makes some bad movies I've watched now seem semi-bad.Every facet of this movie is shocking from the script right down to the monster which is is a cross between an inbred raccoon an A-sexual dog on heat.The acting is only topped in poorness by the dialog, which appears to be the script of a cheesy R-rated porn.How this movie made it to DVD is beyond me, obviously someone in the cast or crew is sleeping with someone in the know how.I wouldn't even recommend illegally downloading this movie. do yourself and your braincells a favour and steer clear unless you have a spew bucket and a swear jar handy 0.5/10

What ticks me off in these types of movies, is the fact that you rarely get to see the creatures in full detail. It is always blurred motion, small and fast glimpses, silhouettes, or whatever they come up with to make it more thrilling and creeping. No, no, no! It doesn't' work to that end, it doesn't become thrilling, it doesn't become scary. I will tell you what it becomes; it becomes annoying and frustrating. As a movie lover, I want to see such monsters, I want to see the horror that stalks the people. I am not content with glimpses here and there. It makes the whole project reek of low-budget and cheesy effects.If you are in for an evening of horror in the predictable genre, then this might be something right up your alley. But if you, like me, prefer more than just cheap thrills and bad plots, don't bet your money on "The Rig". The movie is bearable to sit through if you have nothing else at hand, but there are far better horror movies available. And don't get fooled by an otherwise rather interesting-looking movie cover!

The people who have written the reviews with more than one star are in someway associated with the movie.Such a god-awful mess of a movie this is! Someone said that the plot was from a Kremlin Vault. They were wrong. The plot, the direction, the acting, the music, the everything will make something from the deepest recesses of Kremlin look fresh as photo-ready basket of assorted fruit.The producer would have been better off had he invested in a pile of garbage trying to run for president.The only good thing about the movie is its poster.Giving a wide berth to this movie isn't going to help, you should actually miss the whole train.
