I went into this movie expecting the same lame dribble that is most horror movies these days, but to my delight, I was pleasantly surprised. Beneath managed to pull of a genuinely creepy vibe throughout, and some fairly good scares as well. This movie has the ability to get under your skin, and if you are as claustrophobic as I am, you're in for a treat. My only real complaint was the rather standard attempt-one-last-shock ending that was ridiculously easy to see coming. Aside from that, Beneath is a solid horror flick.
As a horror movie fanatic I have seen most out there, and usually I find myself sorely disappointed. Almost immediately I felt a creepy vibe with this movie, and it remained creepy and suspenseful throughout. This was the main plus. So many horror movies these days claim to be "horror" while in reality they are comedies with a "horror"-ish theme. This was not. However, despite the building suspense of the movie, no real climactic ending ensued. There were many things left unexplained, and I felt it could have gone much farther into the darkness than it did. This is why I did not give it more stars even though I did thoroughly enjoy it. It could have been better, true, but I think it was on the right track for horror, a thing I sorely miss these days.
