Review of Below

Below (2002)
6/10
Sinister and creepy.
30 September 2022
Set in 1943, a submarine - The USS Tiger Shark - rescues three survivors from a boat after a torpedo attack. Soon after the rescue, things start going wrong.

'Below' is confined to a submarine, and it is sinister and creepy. When it becomes clear there is evil on board, it allows for great character development, and tension. The casting was perfect and the actors delivers great performances. Olivia Williams in particular was very good as the only female character, Claire. Despite being the only woman on board, Claire remained a strong, wilful character.

'Below' is a horror film that also serves as a mystery thriller and a disaster movie. Set inside the submarine, it was claustrophobic, but effective, with no way to escape. There's also a well set-up twist towards the end.
