An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I saw The Thing Below as, regardless of a movie's reputation, genre, age or how it looks, I've always believed in giving movies a fair chance. I had nothing else to do so I went ahead and watched it anyway. Having sat through the whole thing, I honestly wish I hadn't and am surprised that I even made it to the end. Even when giving it a fair chance, The Thing Below is still one of the worst movies I have seen in a long time, can't even remember the last time when I saw a movie with no redeeming values whatsoever, and possibly even ever. An obvious starting point in summing up what was wrong with The Thing Below(which is enough to fill an essay on how not to make a movie) would be the technical values. The interiors and lighting look very drab and the editing choppy. There are scenes as well that look as though they were edited from other movies and very clumsily too. The special effects actually look as though they were thrown into the movie at last minute through desperation with a very unfinished look to them. Other commentators have said that some of the worst special effects they've ever seen are in The Thing Below, and I really cannot argue against that. The sound effects manage to be both muddied and bizarre, while the music was so dull and generic that I can't even remember it. There is absolutely nothing believable in the dialogue either, there is so much cheesiness and awkwardness that it is enough to make your toes curl. In regards to the story it is highly derivative, but considering that this is hardly the first movie to have this problem I can kind of temporarily forgive it. But the cobbled-together structure, cringe-worthy parody-like approach to scenes, sluggish pacing and a complete lack of atmosphere, suspense and thrills I cannot forgive. Every character is underwritten and obnoxious, even the beginning had scientists behaving in a mind-numbingly stupid way. The titular monster was not menacing or memorable in the slightest, the movie doing absolutely nothing to develop it, its terrible design being the least of its problems. While a lot of the actors don't seem to have a clue what type of movie they are in, throughout there is a very strange mix of over-earnestness and disengaged blandness and it was really painful to sit through. To conclude, an extremely poor movie with nothing to recommend at all. 0/10 Bethany Cox

I can not recommend this movie less. It is so stunningly beneath awful that it drops through the floor of the universe and comes out on top. If that makes sense. Which this movie does not.In a nutshell, the story is a composite of Alien, Event Horizon, Leviathan, and Ghost Ship, with a knock-off crew from The Abyss and Armaggeddon. Seriously, you have seen this story many, many times before. And why is there always one guy with a cowboy hat?Stilll, if you have a Roku box and time not spent on something more productive like porn, this movie offers so many unintentional laughs that it's really worth watching. It truly earns the Academy award for the very antithesis of good dialogue. And the casting? Ah, tres merdefique! The casting director's couch is still sweating Astroglide and incompetence. Personal favorite is the hottie "professor" that might be old enough to vote 5 years from now.In the end though, it's the horrendous CGI that truly lowers the bar for all. Rendered at some resolution so low it must be measured in Kelvin, the creature is a testimonial to any 12-year-old with a dream, and a pirated copy of After Effects.

No doubt this piece of garbage will end up on the late late movie. If it does,don't watch it. It is pure crap. The special effects were bad,no doubt,none of the actors,were paid much for their acting,none of the major DVD rental stores,here in the Toronto,area,have this film in their rental selection. No doubt,this film will end up in the dollar store selection. Even at that price,I would not buy it. This is probably one of the worst films released. As for the actors,their were no well known names associated with this film. The film was released by a independent film company,associated with the movie channel.a Canadian owned company. If you see this film on DVD,avoid it.

I watched this movie (well, most of it) after actually making the mistake of PAYING for it at the rental store. To explain my summary, a pearl is formed when something irritating (a grain of sand, for instance) gets into an oyster's shell, and the oyster lays down more and more layers of mother of pearl onto the particle, transforming it into the beautiful object we can wear as jewelry. This movie went the other way: a beautiful grain of an idea slowly covered with layer after layer of crap.SPOILERS AHEAD The idea: The Sea Ghost is an oil rig drilling into the ocean floor. It's top-secret mission: attempting to reach a new source of energy at the planet's core. Drilling all the way to the core doesn't exactly make sense, but since geothermal power is a real concept this is an acceptable mistake. At 15 miles down (about halfway through the crust) they hit a cave, a cave with something living in it. This is great, because if you know your science, this tiny nugget of information has all kinds of frightening implications. If an organism were living 15 miles down (WAY deeper than any known cave systems) it most likely has been isolated for hundreds of millions of years. It may even have self-generated on its own, completely independent of life above. This organism would be as alien as any extraterrestrial, and none of our knowledge of life as we know it would apply to the new creature. While no known creature can get inside your head and make you see things, it has already been established that this thing is NOT any "known creature." This could have been scary, and I mean HP Lovecraft scary!Unfortunately, it isn't. SPOILERS END HERE"The Thing Below" suffers from bad directing, questionable acting, shots stolen right out of "Virus" and the worst special effects I have ever seen. The CGI is so bad that when I got my only glimpse of the creature, I COULDN'T TELL WHAT I WAS LOOKING AT! Shots of the boat and the Sea Ghost from the outside were so bad I winced every time I saw them. Visual effects should never cause physical pain.
