Down Below

OK where do you cross a bad film with bad acting skills?

Answer: Down Below 2024 Movie!

Dreadful plot to start off with and some jumble scenes that went well over my head.

Typical religion and horror mixed in for good measures but the scenes fail because they are just so boring.

Dialogue is weak especially with the annoying ginger kid who just aks the most bonkers of questions to his pastor father.

Sex scenes are laughable and the killer in question is as wooden as a set of stairs.

If there was an oscar for poor acting would go to the Chinese kid who is in bondage gear. Talk about give a performance that your laughing your head off instead of being en-grossed in the actual scene as being serious.

I see some fake reviews on here where they are praising this bore fest on a huge level.

Dont believe the hype as I turned the movie off at 54:23 because I was bored, so yeah go figure folks!

Of course I was not familiar with the 2024 horror movie "Down Below" prior to sitting down and watching it here in 2024. Of course I would watch it, given my life-long romance with the horror genre.

But I have to say that seeing Eric Roberts listed at the first name on the cover was not exactly thrilling, as I am not really much of a fan of his. But at least the movie also had Doug Jones and Bai Ling listed on the cover.

Writer, director and star Spyder Dobrofsky put together a script that proved very, very disjointed. The narrative was all over the place, without ever really going anywhere. And that made for a confusing and somewhat boring viewing experience. At an hour into the 93 minute runtime, I still didn't really know what writer and director Spyder Dobrofsky was trying to accomplish with this movie, nor what the core of the story was about.

The acting performances in the movie were okay. Bai Ling managed to spruce up the movie with her performance.

But you know that a movie that is starring, written and directed by one and the same guy usually isn't going to be a stellar viewing experience. And "Down Below" was no different.

If you enjoy horror movies, don't waste 93 minutes on watching "Down Below". Some of us suffered through this ordeal, so you don't have to; you're quite welcome. While I managed to suffer through this movie, I can honestly say that I wasn't entertained, nor will I ever return to watch it a second time.

My rating of "Down Below" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.

So happy to see low\mid budget horror making a comeback! The movie was a little disjointed and abrupt, but that's a subjective thing that I don't love, and has nothing to do with the quality of the movie. Story was good, acting was good, production was good. Definitely would recommend every and any horror fan to give it a watch! My grandson (13) loved it and wanted an immediate rewatch. I thoroughly enjoyed it it, and plan a second watch over the weekend when I can sit and really immerse myself in the experience. Horror fans (and honestly any indie movie fans) should definitely give it a watch!

"Down Below" is a horror gem! It's got a killer cast for the genre, spooky small-town vibes, and a plot that keeps you guessing. Eric Roberts and Bai Ling crush it as always, but it's Alexis Knapp's gritty performance that steals the show.

Also Mr. Monday is one of the most unpredictable villains I've seen in a long time, not the classic Jason knock-off we've been accustomed to 100 times over! If you know you know.

The whole film is eerie and actually original-a rare find in horror these days.

Plus, it's only 90 minutes long! Finally a movie that knows how to pack a punch without dragging on endlessly for hours like so many 3+ hour sagas lately.

Perfect scary movie for a spooky fall night. Spooky is too cute of a word for the night that fits this film, but you get it. Watched it on a night where the fog took over my neighborhood and I did not sleep well that night. Nightmare fuel for someone who grew up in church. Would recommend as a good add for your Halloween movie list, and even for those who like a scary Christmas. On top of being doing its job scaring me-the acting and cast is so good. What a good cast to put together. They all deliver the movie well and when I was scared or hiding my eyes, I very much enjoyed watching what was on screen.
