Its a movie about a crew that gets stuck in a submarine or ship because of ice everywhere. They keep seeing that this monster or creature keeps hitting the ship. We see the creature until the end when there is no more electricity so the doors open and the water comes in. It was a tentacle creature with lights. At the end it comes towards the last woman
I've been looking for this film for years

I don't know, but I hope someone does because this sounds intriguing.

Europa Report

I�ve seen this film about 7 times but it never seems to leave any sort of impression and I didn�t even recognise it from that description. So odd.

Interesting. I thought it was a really beautiful movie, and packed some real emotional heft.

First when we learn that

the interviews are not from the crew having returned, but from the crew still out in space. So people we assume must have survived, well, that might not be the case.

And second I really loved the ethics of them not wanting to attack the creature. After all, they landed on its planet. While it is scary and does harm them, there's a distinction between a creature and a "monster." I have a real soft spot for movies where people who are scientists or explorers truly embrace the ethics of their profession, even if it sometimes harms them or even costs them their lives. Of course I was hoping they would survive, but I would have been really sad if the movie had led up to them killing the creature.

For sure, that�s all completely valid, and I couldn�t agree with you more on

approach to creature

. I remember watching Troll (2022) on Netflix and loving it, actually thinking, What a great film�. up until

WARNING: spoilers below

it became clear they were going to hunt/hurt the creature

and after that I finished it with utter contempt.

I didn�t mean that I didn�t like Europa Report, I did (I did watch it quite a few times after all), but somehow it�s just that I don�t seem to find the plot specifics memorable� at least not enough to have recognised the above. Might attempt an eighth (?) viewing this weekend.

I actually know exactly what you mean. The film left more of a general impression on me (especially the last 10 minutes) than specifically remembering the plot. It was the detail about the creature having lights on the tentacles and coming for the woman that jogged my memory because I think that final sequence is both frightening and beautiful.

I've thought about that ending sequence quite a bit, but never felt super drawn to rewatch the film as a whole.

Man, I remember sitting on the edge of my seat for the majority of the final half. Had nightmares afterwards, too. Damn good movie.

Okay, an early (the earliest?) appearance of a submarine in literature was Jules Verne's novel "20,000 Leagues under the Sea". A famous section of that novel is when the submarine is attacked by a giant squid. This tentacle monster attacking a submarine must be a ripoff or homage of Verne.

It's called Tentacle Monster Hits Submarine Stuck on Ice.

It's a good sci-fi film, but more of a "slow" sci-fi movie.

This question is marked as answered. So it's Europa report? I was going to check out that movie looks interesting but haven't got around to watching it yet, from what I've seen it didn't really stand out so I guess I'll have to watch the whole thing and judge it then.
