  Deep Blue Sea (1999 film)
  
  Deep Blue Sea is a 1999 American science fiction horror film directed by Renny Harlin and starring Saffron Burrows, Thomas Jane, Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Rapaport, and LL Cool J. Set in an isolated underwater facility, the film follows a team of scientists and their research on mako sharks to help fight Alzheimer's disease. The situation plunges into chaos when multiple genetically engineered sharks go on a rampage and flood the facility. Deep Blue Sea had a production budget of $60–82 million and represented a test for Harlin, who had not made a commercially successful film since Cliffhanger in 1993. The film was primarily shot at Fox Baja Studios in Rosarito, Mexico, where the production team constructed sets above the large water tanks that had been built for James Cameron's 1997 film Titanic. Although Deep Blue Sea features some shots of real sharks, most of the sharks used in the film were either animatronic or computer generated. Trevor Rabin composed the film score; LL Cool J contributed two songs to the film: "Deepest Bluest (Shark's Fin)" and "Say What". Released in theaters during the...

  @davidshq Abyss and Sphere are arguably sea monster movies? If not, Rig may not qualify.
  I keep waiting for the James Rollins books to get adapted.

  There's also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Swarm_(Sch%C3%A4tzing_novel)#Adaptations to look forward to.
  Sorry, I tend to start from books ?

    The Swarm (Schätzing novel)
    
    The Swarm (German: Der Schwarm) is a science fiction novel by German author Frank Schätzing. It was first published in 2004 and soon became a bestseller. Plot The book follows an ensemble of protagonists who are investigating what at first appear to be freak events related to the world's oceans. A new species of marine worm works together with bacteria to destabilize the continental shelf, causing a megatsunami which kills millions and severely damages the coastal infrastructure. Whales and sea-borne mussels band together to attack and incapacitate a commercial freighter. Swimmers are driven from the coast by sharks and venomous jellyfish. Commercial ships are attacked and sometimes destroyed. France sees an outbreak of an epidemic caused by contaminated lobsters. When it becomes clear that all those events are related, an international scientific task force is created under the lead of the United States, led by Lieutenant General Judith Li, a close friend and adviser to the President. Sigur Johanson, a marine biologist working...

  @akkartik I haven't seen The Rig yet, didn't realize it had sea monsters in it, will have to watch!
  You're right, there aren't a ton of options to choose from. Underwater (2020) was decent. From back in the day, Anaconda (1997) and Deep Rising (1998).
  Honestly some of the films are faint memories from childhood that if I rewatched I'd probably find much too corny. I liked Gorgo (1961), 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (various), trying to think of others...I'll take suggestions :)

  The Rig passed the time.
