God the sound design in this segment makes it all the more horrifying from the music pangs to the scary whispering. Really gives the brine pool that feeling of contained evil.

So the sea also has a sea that sea animals could "drown" in.

Wild.

Is no one gonna talk about how cinematic 0:46 is?? Like, the the misty water of the brine pool, the absolute darkness everywhere but the spotlight, and alien looking eels diving in and out- it looks terrifying and amazing.

[ryazofshields]

This legit looks like something out of an alien horror film, the ocean is so cool yet creepy at the same time and I love it!
