I'm a possum and I find garbage.

I just watched Deep Shock (2003), a made-for-TV movie about wooden actors in an underwater facility made of plastic having a run-in with terrible CGI eels under the north pole.

The set is covered in plastic bowls painted silver, I guess to give it a sci-fi texture. Maybe they're supposed to be giant rivets or something.

The U.N. consists of twenty or so people sitting in a mostly empty concert hall. One guy who doesn't like Lead Lady's theory about smart eels or whatever just calls a vote to get her removed from her position, and they just decide it with a show of hands.

They spelled "losing" wrong.

The plot is kind of like a poor man's The Abyss. The bad guy even dies the same way by getting crushed inside a tiny submarine.

The U.N. sends a bunch of submarines from a bunch of different countries to launch nuclear torpedoes at an underwater trench, because apparently the U.N. can do that.

Deep Shock? More like Deep Schlock!
