The Abyss (1989): When you look long into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you - Friedrich Nietzsche - the first words seen in The Abyss (but certainly not the last words spoken, nor are they the least meaningful), director James Camerons third film to feature groundbreaking special effects and carry a strong message about just how SMALL we humans really are... ...The Abyss was released in 1989, otherwise known as the year of the deep-sea horror flick, since both DeepStar Six and Leviathan took full advantage of the Alien syndrome and while The Abyss had extraterrestrials on its mind, these particular aliens come to us with a message and a purpose... - Me, David S. Reid (in 2005), personal essay, The Abyss (1989)
