What about Anaconda? LOL. To this day I still feel fear when I go in the ocean . . . . daaaaaa dum daaaaaaaaa dum :eek: Jaws is definitely
the quintessential horror creature, even at his mechanical, floppy worst. It insinuated itself into our deepest collective unconsciuos psyche . . . :shark:

Sorry guys, I had to go with Lake Placid. It has just the right amount of humor. I almost picked Thy Abyss, because that is one great movie with a great cast, but after not so much thought...Lake Placid it is!

Event Horizon, Alien, The Thing, The Shining, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Exorcist?

Some may have voted on those bizarre movies.... Good poll though...

the key word was "underwater"You know, I never saw that! I just figured from the title, it was a "Horror movie poll".

I searched the first ten pages of google, and then image searched the same. I ran across alot of movies I've never heard of... but what is Deep Rising? It never showed up.

What about Anaconda? LOL. To this day I still feel fear when I go in the ocean . . . . daaaaaa dum daaaaaaaaa dum :eek: Jaws is definitely

Yeah, "Pirahna" barely made it. Total crud like Anaconda and Orca were left off the list... too cheesy...

Jaws should pretty much swamp this poll. :shark:

"Like a doll's eyes..."

You know I gotta agree though, Lake Placid was great... I loved the old lady who fed her husband and the cows to the gator and considered it her pet...

I had to vote Jaws for the best underwater horror, the Abyss is more of a SciFi.
Joe, Event Horizon is still one of my all time favorite movies. I'll never look at Sam Neill the same again

Following in the reptilian slime trail of Anaconda, this derivative monster movie from early 1998 plays like a cross between Titanic and Tremors, with parts of Aliens tossed in for good measure. Director Stephen Sommers couldn't recognize an original idea if it swallowed him whole--which, by the way, is exactly what happens to a lot of passengers on a luxury ship that is attacked by a giant serpent-like sea creature with a voracious appetite for human flesh. Treat Williams plays the leader of a mercenary crew whose members discover the ravaged ship and wage war on the creature; Famke Janssen joins him as an onboard thief and con artist who just happens to be highly skilled with automatic weapons. Of course, the action grows more intense as the body count rises and along the way the monster is gradually revealed in all of its gruesome glory. A guilty pleasure if ever there was one, Deep Rising arrived in theaters shortly after another waterlogged thriller, Hard Rain, and if nothing else it provides proof that the B-movie monsters of the 1950s are alive and well and as cheesy as ever in the age of digital special effects. --Jeff Shannon

Although "Creature" is my sentimental, camp favorite, and Abyss is a little more creative, I had to go with Jaws - particularly for 2 scenes - when Dreyfus finds the underwater body in the sunken boat, and for the look of horror on Scheider's face when he first sees the shark when he is chumming. The mandatory sequels immediately lose any credibility, but jaws still holds up well to this day.
