The Monster Beneath Us

This beautifully shot film is: pointless, witless, as motionless to the eye as air (i.e., glaciers seem rapid in pace), without a soul, more cryptic than Sasquatch, an empty hot air balloon that lands nowhere, and just positively knickers. It is like reading the first and last page of an H. P. Lovecraft novel over and over and over. I am so glad that someone has given this a decent rating because it is clear that the filmmakers have expended tremendous energy in gestating this project that in my opinion is stillborn. As someone with a film degree, I think a class discussion on this would be quite like discussing American politics on Reddit. Cheers!

I had high hopes for The Monster Beneath Us, but it turned out to be one of the weakest horror films I've seen in a while. The story feels half-baked from the beginning, with no proper setup or explanation for the events that unfold. The pacing is painfully slow, and instead of building suspense, it just drags. When the ending comes, you're left more confused than scared-there's no real payoff or resolution. Worst of all, it's not even scary. There's no atmosphere, no tension, and the "monster" is barely even present. It feels like a film that didn't know what it wanted to be. Sadly, a waste of time.

This is simply a gem of a production...and what's not to love about a nineteenth century horror set in olde Yorkshire!

The cast are fab, as is the setting and lighting.

Horror normally, probably not one of my fave genres either and so it has to be a great story, well acted, and sufficiently suspenseful to keep me engaged.

Hopefully going to take the Mrs to see this one too and looking forward to seeing what she thinks of it as well. I think she will love it, as will most fans of the genre.

Here's hoping for more new films like this going forwards instead of pointless remakes and super hero saturation.

What's the point of making such a movie You have no idea what was the monster You have no idea why this monster was in that basement What was the connection between the maiden and the monster Why the monster wants the mother not the kid or father I mean there should be a connection when you have a literal monster in your basement with the owner of the house not the wife from other towns or cities And for the love of god why this movie was so long My brother said he will never watch a horror movie again and I feel the same after this movie.

And let's not talk about poor CGI , I'm sure you can find better artists in freelancing websites to do your CGI but still it's not the point the movie wouldn't be any better even with that To be honest you could make a short movie with the first and the last ten minutes and it would be much better thank you so much for wasting our time on this artistic peace of art .

Beautiful location and sets, but completely empty ending. No explanation as to what happened or is happening throughout the movie. Mildly spooky but not scary and used poor CGI. Lastly, the "son" is quite obviously a girl actress and so I assumed it would play into the story by the end, no luck. Nothing against Trans but this was like having Wesley Snipes play Cinderella, very distracting. So much potential to create a Gothic movie with excellent scenery and editing but a tot lack of plot and character development or at least explanation makes the movie come up way short of feeling like a complete production.
