Reviews for Below
...begins with promise, but runs aground after being snared in its own tangled plot.
10/18/02
Top CriticA gripping little B-movie of more mood than substance, Below nonetheless delivers on its modest promises.
10/14/02
Half Submarine flick, Half Ghost Story, All in one criminally neglected film
03/17/03
Consistently clever and suspenseful.
10/25/02
an exceedingly clever piece of cinema.another great ‘what you don’t see’ is much more terrifying than what you do see thriller, coupled with some arresting effects, incandescent tones and stupendous performances
11/15/02
A surprisingly unnerving production that shouldn’t be allowed to slip beneath the radar.
10/11/02
Below may not mark Mr. Twohy's emergence into the mainstream, but his promise remains undiminished.
10/10/02
Top CriticAn enjoyable, if occasionally flawed, experiment.
10/18/02
Top CriticThe film has enough spooky momentum and good actors to keep it going.

Top CriticAs underwater ghost stories go, Below casts its spooky net out into the Atlantic Ocean and spits it back, grizzled and charred, somewhere northwest of the Bermuda Triangle.
10/22/02
The reason Below gets beneath your skin is that the scriptwriters know what most current horror filmmakers never learned: Fear is an emotion, not a visceral response.
10/18/02
Top CriticEvery moment crackles with tension, and by the end of the flick, you're on the edge of your seat.
10/11/02
Exciting and direct, with ghost imagery that shows just enough to keep us on our toes.
10/17/02
Thanks to strong acting and low-key direction, Below stays above water in atmosphere and suspense.
11/01/02
While director David Twohy arguably doesn't mine the premise for all it's worth, he gets enough out of it to make it an effective Halloween treat.
10/12/02
Top CriticAn underappreciated little film that would go down well as part of a triple bill on video for some undemanding entertainment.
09/24/03
Twohy knows how to inflate the mundane into the scarifying, and gets full mileage out of the rolling of a stray barrel or the unexpected blast of a phonograph record.
10/11/02
Top CriticThere is nothing outstanding about this film, but it is good enough and will likely be appreciated most by sailors and folks who know their way around a submarine.
10/21/02
Gave me the willies.
