The premise

An experimental submarine with a very experienced crew, the "Siren II" is sent to find out what happened to the "Siren I" after it mysteriously disappeared in a submarine rift. Things go awry when they begin to find things that shouldn't be there...

Horror Vault's take

When the experimental submarine Siren II is dispatched to investigate the mysterious disappearance of its predecessor deep within an ocean rift, the crew quickly discovers they are not alone in the dark. What lurks below defies explanation, and the deeper they descend, the less likely their return becomes. This late-80s creature feature trades on tight underwater tension and the creeping horror of encountering things science should never have created.
