The Devil Below

The trailer wasn't bad but the movie sucked. If Will Patton wasn't in it I never would of watched it. All this movie consists of is people running around in the darkness. There was also no clear explanation on what the monsters were. And they never show you a clear shot of what they look like. All you get from whatever these creatures are is a bunch of annoying moaning & groaning. Movie was a waste of time. 4 stars.

Strong start. Visually pleasing. Great suspense elements. And then character development screeches to a half, picture gets blurry and erratic and suddenly you have no idea what's going on and you kind of don't care.

It might have been a good film but I will never know, it was filmed in stygian darkness, who was doing what to who and why will remain a mystery, as I could not make out what was going on, and why did they not call in the US Army to deal with whatever it was? filming great parts of films in darkness seems to be a trend lately, does it save money on sets? or Lighting? I don't know but it is tiresome.

One of those films which makes absolutely no practical sense. Cliche after cliche, inaccurate technical details and an old play on the heroine. Cookie cutter to put it bluntly. The character actions did not portray, even remotely, the common sense anyone would immediately have. The monster was same ole, same ole. The bad guys more common than usual with the usual, obvious twist. I successfully predicted all the elements of this film before they occurred. Anyone could. Anyone will. However, my gf did like it so I let it play. I've seen much better monster/creature films but I've also seen more monster films which are worse, a lot worse. All in all, you can watch it but it won't really do much for ya. Unless, of course, you are rather new to monster/creature features.

As soon as I saw that the main character is a supermodel European giving tours of redneck America I knew it was gonna be bad. Not to mention they try to make her seem tough as nails, but she looks like she's never gone a day without a spa treatment. The movie isn't much better, but the main character tips the hand as to how bad this is.
