Ultimately, Beneath is better than your average Roger Corman clone because it is more serious than trivial. Read full review

Although Fessenden does fine work shooting his equivalent of Lifeboat, the movie’s surface is often rough. Yet the title doesn’t just refer to what lurks in the lake’s still water. It’s a guide to where Beneath’s substance lies, the acid heart inside its plastic chest. Read full review

Beneath may be an earnest goof, but any intended irony is so spiked with rainy-day-matinee movie love that the result is an oddly guileless horror exercise, unscary but rather adorable. Read full review

Its stance toward every dipshit slasher and creature-horror flick that's come before it never feels less than casually hostile. Read full review

That sly toying with audience sympathies is, alas, all that’s notable about this otherwise poverty-row quickie produced for the Chiller cable network. Read full review

Beneath gets capsized as much by its knuckleheaded script as by its somewhat risible giant flesh-eating fish. Read full review

Though the young actors...are appealing enough, you keep waiting for a boatful of humor to come along and rescue them. The whole film is a campy put-on, right? Apparently not. Read full review

Beneath is a very effective horror movie that's more than just a simple scary ride. Beneath works on multiple levels...

The biggest threat our characters faceBeneath is a very effective horror movie that's more than just a simple scary ride. Beneath works on multiple levels... Although set on a lake with a monster in the water, at its core, the movie is really about life in high school (or at the office). The biggest threat our characters face is each other, rather than the monster. The use of a practical monster, rather than a cgi creation, adds to the gritty realism. The young, attractive cast plays the movie with necessary intenseness, and the cinematography is beautiful Ultimately, Beneath is a scary, funny and smart movie. My friends and I all enjoyed it. Definitely worth checking out!… Expand
