On this day, January 13, 1989, the sci-fi horror film DeepStar Six premiered in theaters across the United States. Directed by Sean S. Cunningham, best known for his work on Friday the 13th, the film takes audiences to the ocean floor, where a group of scientists and engineers encounter a terrifying undersea creature.

The story centers around a Navy research team working on a deep-sea military installation when they inadvertently awaken a deadly sea monster. With its claustrophobic setting, tense atmosphere, and suspenseful creature design, DeepStar Six became an early entry in the wave of underwater horror films released in the late 80s and early 90s.

Fun Fact: The film’s production team worked hard to create the underwater environment, relying heavily on practical effects to bring the deep-sea terror to life.

Trivia Question: What other iconic 1989 underwater sci-fi film competed with DeepStar Six at the box office?
