Killer Crustaceans from "Inner Space"

The Bleiman brothers just mentioned Deep Star Six, which I fondly remembered from my video-store clerk days.

Believe it or not, I think Deep Star Six was better than the gross-out cheese-fest that was Leviathan, although the latter received a lot more airplay on UPN, TNT, and TBS when I was younger;

Leviathan, of course, was a much more direct rip-off of ALIEN;

Like JAWS, ALIEN was a terrifying film that everyone wanted to emulate, although some films (like Creature) were less shy about lifting bits of the plot;
