There's still so much we don't about our oceans, especially when it comes to what lies on their floors. In 1989's Leviathan, a deep-sea mining crew is reminded of the saltwater's deadly secrets when they find something horrifying living amongst a ship's ruins at the sea bottom. This Peter Weller-starring film is shooting to the surface late this August as part of Scream Factory's Summer of Fear, with a couple of bonus features in tow.
Set for an August 19th release on Blu-ray, you can pre-order the film now at Scream Factory and Amazon for around $25.00. This 1080p video resolution of Leviathan comes with new interviews and the theatrical trailer.
