The Devil Below

I recently saw “Deep Evil” (also called “The Devil Below”): this is where we see that Cinema is above all about editing, a script, actors in their roles and a camera at the service of the film, and not about pointless aesthetic fetishism. And let me add that the film's soundtrack is just the right amount of immersive. Well, “Deep Evil” does the job, and I was amazed that I stayed through to the end, far more satisfied than with other, more expensive or pretentious films.Translated with **** (free version)

Enjoyable suspense horror movie. Decent characters, including my favorite deputy hoskins from the OG Halloween movie. Creature effects are suitably creepy when they are shown about 2/3 of the way for the movie. The last scene is a little cheesy but overall, it kept a good pace without dragging in any spot. Would recommend for suspense horror movie fans

The technical elements of this film are excellent. The rest are either bad or so average it's not even worth mentioning. But I will. I think I'm going to lay most of the blame for this unoriginal film of boredom onto the writing. It is the most unoriginal, boring and outright nonsensical series of forgettable characters doing very little whilst copying badly from so many good films. Maybe I should blame the director for ripping off so much. The reveal of the monsters is lifted directly from The Descent (2005). The Aliens (1986), Phantoms (1998), Silent Hill (2006) inspiration are too obvious. The character motivations make no sense. The monsters look terrible shuffling along and their lifecycle and anatomy make no sense and they try to hide how bad the monsters look by using a filter over most of the shots that they are in. Unoriginal. Boring. Stupid. Save for life for something else, it's not even bad-good.

Really boring, plain story and forgettable characters. The monsters were mediocre at best. The only reason to watch this movie is to see for yourself how poorly shot some of the scenes are. Boggles my mind that someone thought this was a good idea. Unless you have a massive tolerance for bad movies, stay away.
