Underwater sf chiller Deepstar Six on 4K UHD, Blu-ray & Digital from StudioCanal in June

From producer/director Sean S. Cunningham, co-creator of the Friday the 13th franchise, comes his underwater creature feature, Deepstar Six – making its UK UHD debut on June 8 as part of StudioCanal’s Cult Classics range, with a new 4K restoration and artwork, a treasure trove of extras including three audio commentaries, and four art cards. The film is also released on Blu-ray and Digital.

When the crew of an experimental underwater nuclear base disturbs a huge cavern beneath their site, they accidentally unleash the giant prehistoric monster lurking within…

Starring Greg Evigan (TekWar), Nancy Everhard (The Punisher), Miguel Ferrer (Robocop) and  featuring stuntwork by Jason Vohorees himself, Kane Hodder, Deepstar Six features another memorably eerie score by Harry Manfredini (Friday the 13th), and out of this world creature effects by Chris Walas (Oscar-winner for 1987’s The Fly).

Called “wildly entertaining” by Nerdly, Deepstar Six is packed with action, explosions, outrageous practical effects, a sterling B-movie cast, and lots and lots of water, it’s Alien underwater, with a dash of The Abyss, brought to you with horror master Cunningham’s tense and terrifying know-how, making it a an absolute must for genre fans.
