The Abyss Returns To Streaming After Controversy

James Cameron's 1989 film The Abyss began streaming on Tubi on February 1, after being pulled from Disney+ in the UK for including a banned animal‑cruelty scene. The contested midfilm sequence, showing a rat submerged in oxygenated fluorocarbon, was banned by the BBFC decades ago but reappeared in a remastered release; the film still holds a 75% critic and 83% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
