A luxury cruise ship was sailing in the South China Sea with 3,000 people. Then the ship was attacked by an armed group whose purpose was obscure. But there were no passengers on the ship.  The survivors were only the ship's owner, the captain of the ship and a woman.

In the movie, it is great how they show the monster. The monster doesn't appear in the opening of this movie. It appears with an indirect expression. For example, an iron wall becomes hollow, and  a floor comes off and a man drowns in the water. It's an indirect expression, so I feel the weirdness more. And in the middle of this movie, the monster appears. It is a big worm that attacks people. What is the natural shape of the monster? 

This is a famous story of monster B-movie. This is great. I think it's the best monster B-movie.
