767 Leviathan ( 1989 )

 This  science  fiction  horror  movie  got  a  critical  mauling  for its  lack of originality.  It  is  basically  an  underwater amalgamation  of  Alien  and  The Thing  and  has  very  few  surprises   but  nonetheless  it  is well  performed  and  a  solid  monster movie. The  crew  of  an  underwater  mining  operation  discover  a  recently  sunken  ship, go  inside  and  bring something  nasty  back with  them. You  know the  rest.

Amanda  Pays ( as  Williams )

Sex : No

Death : Survives


Amanda  signs  off  from  horror  films with  a  very  physical  performance  in  which  she's  frequently  wet  through.

Lisa  Eilbacher ( as  Bowman )

Sex : No

Death : Slashes her  wrists  after  discovering she's infected


Lisa  started  acting as  a  teen and  appeared  in  guest  roles  in many  popular TV  series of  the  seventies ( Gunsmoke, Streets Of San Francisco, The Waltons, Man From Atlantis ). Her  film career was  slower  to  get going  but she made a good  impression in An  Officer And A Gentleman and Beverley Hills Cop. She got  married in 1988 and her appearances became less  frequent  before she  retired  altogether in 1995..
