Underwater (2020) is the unhelpful title for basically an Alien style movie... underwater. But I liked it more than the last five actual Alien movies. Being an Alien movie by way of a disaster movie was a nice switch - Calliope on RPGnet noted this as the location is dangerous enough without monsters - and Kristen Stewart got to be intense and caring. (As a game it would be easy enough with Alien, resembles the classic Call Of Cthulhu adventure Grace Under Pressure, and closely follows the Grave And Watery scenario in Robin D. Laws’s out of print story game Pantheon. The location could also work with non-horror-y adventures, like I could see the pure disaster version in Trinity.)
