It Came from Below

"Not very thrilling for a thriller" is what this film was described as in the review of one viewer by the name of, ruble-huff the 24th/August/2021.

I would advise you to read it, as the person perfectly describes the sheer, and utter, drivel of this totally lackluster thriller-less rubbish!

Caving/potholing are at the top of the most dangerous hobbies a person could have. Yet the four characters (who already know of the existence of a creature in the cave system by the way; the father of one of them told his daughter and son but, just like most youth of these times they are complete stupid numb-nuts!) go looking for it with no safety equipment, no food & water supplies, no ropes and most importantly, no weapons to protect themselves should they just happen to run into said creature.

The director, one Dan Allen, made a clueless drunken stagger at creating a psychological horror thriller that just failed. The creature is the best thing about the film, as it looks very convincing, but there is no background proof, of anything, that pertains to it coming from another planetary distant world. So I give the creature 2 stars and the film gets a thumbs down.

Honestly... this was horrid.

Poor sound, acting, concept... just everything was s***!

Seems almost anything can be chucked onto a streaming service these days!

This movie is missing a few key components for making a good movie. Good acting, plausible story, special effects, etc. This movie lacks every single thing required. The acting, especially when being attacked, is awful, absolutely awful. The story is just plain dumb. I've seen other cave movies and there's enough ambient lights to know what's going on but this is total darkness aside from seeing up their nose. I'm sure that saved a lot on production cost filming in total darkness but it made for one very crappy movie. Definitely skip this one.

Overall It Came From Below is a very disappointing movie. Even for a low budget film... it's pretty bad. The acting is unimpressive... the plot is nonsensical... the characters are idiotic... and the creature and its abilities are unexplained and erratic.

You have characters making truly idiotic choices, which even for a horror movie make absolutely no sense. You have a creature that has mind control abilities... sometimes... when it's convenient... and not others... which feeds on people... sometimes... and other times ignores them completely... None of it makes any real sense.

Most of the movie takes place in a dark cave, with little light, and little idea what's actually happening. The insane amount of shaky cam doesn't help at all.

The creature looks decent. Honestly it could have been a decent movie if not so horrifically written, as it had an okay concept. But it's just a horrible mess that's not worth watching.

Like a JV version of the Descent. Without the skilled actors, credible story, effects and pretty much everything else.
