Mildly creepy underwater ghost movie. It's at least good to see an effective horror movie that doesn't revolve around violence and gore. Don't get me wrong- I love those types of movies, but sometimes you just need a breather. And this... Full review

Not what expected for sure but still a good movie. It ends up being a ghost story in a submarine during WWII. Actually it's kind of shallow, but it seemed like it was interesting while I was watching it. In retrospect... Full review

A good ghost story. Lots of legitimate as well as false scares. The director creates a spooky atmosphere that works especially well in the Claustraphobic setting. Unfortunately the ending is pretty cliche. It doesn't completely derail the movie but it does... Full review

Twohy has yet to make a great genre film....it doesn't take long for this ludicrously predictable film to reveal....The Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack is a thing to behold, with resounding bass and exciting directional effects contributing to the film's claustrophobic atmosphere..... ... Full Review

Below would have been much more effective with minimum material.....However, Twohy undermines himself with his directing style.....Setting the movie in a submarine is a great idea.... ... Full Review

It isn't a good film by any conventional stretch, but doesn't disappoint because, given the type of story that it is, it could have been far worse.
There's solid direction, a few good scares here and there, and a director and cast performing admirably enough to make you believe the unbelievable.

Below " has ambitions to be better than average, but doesn't pull itself together and insist on realizing them.
There are a lot of surprise apparitions in " Below ," and many times when we expect them even when they don't arrive.

Below is not a good film.
Action and horror can make a great mix and while thats criticizing a film for what it aint, from what I did see in Below, there aint much to begin with in the first place.
