To keep it short and sweet: I've been a fan of some of previous adaptations of Sparks' works, so I entered into the movie with moderate hopes of enjoying myself.
Hopes that plummeted within minutes. The characters had no chemistry and barely any emotion showed in their eyes. The best acting came from the Grandma and the little boy.
The dialogue, tropes, and general chosen scenes were horrendous.
Done right, a good romantic-themed movie can restore the soul. Done badly, with a poor script, poor acting, and poor directorial choices, you get this forced hot mess.
Do not recommend.

Disclaimer: I received a screening link of this movie from the publicist. This in no way influences my review.
I was surprised when I first started watching It Came From Below. I was expecting, well, all the negatives that can come along with a low-budget film. However, the sister and brother won me over fairly quick and I found myself actually interested in the film. As it went on, even though the elements were all too familiar from various caving movies out there, I was still fairly invested in the film. This, I thought, might turn out to be a hidden gem (a low-quality gem, but still a gem.)
And then we hit the last half of the movie and things went to pieces. Thing after thing happened that didn't make sense. Some of the logic of reality gaps were atrocious. And the end had me absolutely scratching my head and wondering if they'd really went there. (They had.)
The dialogue was decent. I've seen far, far worse camera work and lighting. The creature was delightfully gooey. But overall, I just can't recommend this.
