Somewhere in the South China Sea, lethal forces have emerged from the bottomless depths and probed a luxury cruise ship. With indescribable power and terror, the invasion transforms the vessel into a floating chamber of horrors. For a few survivors including the ill-fated John Finnegan (Treat Williams), and a band of hijackers lead by Hanover (Wes Studi), a living nightmare awaits. In the middle of nowhere, escape seems impossible.

January 1st 1998: Another person has seen one of the effect sequences being made for Deep Rising and tells us of an especially gruesome moment. A character who we're not going to name gets eaten by one of the creatures and is then regurgitated. Blur Studio in Venice, California, is producing three effects shots for this scene. The effects will feature the character's head and arm being eaten away by the strong stomach juices of the monster after he is brought back up. The sequence will be realized by computer graphics. In the words of the scooper,"Very gory!" [Thanks to Coming Attractions.]
