It Came from Below

Stopped watching 30 mins in. Awful is not even a strong enough adjective. Prime will add anything to their catalog...

There's some films that are so bad I wonder how they were even made. Someone had to have the idea. Then somebody had to give it a green light and actually finance this crap. And finally there was a crew involved. My goodness. I have it a shot because of the half decent score by that was a mistake. I could have taken a 30 minute nap and had a dream more eventful than this mess.

Aside from the storyline and characters being being absolutely awful, even for a low-budget production, this film is unwatchable without having subtitles turned on. Whoever was in charge of audio levels severely FAILED at their job.

Don't know what I just watched. Couldn't hear any of it as the music score was WAY too loud. So loud you can't hear any dialog. If you feel the need to watch this use subtitles.

"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.

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.
