Twists and turns abound, and while they're as expected as the rest of the beats in Below the Fold, they're also engaging enough to entertain.

In Their Own League

It’s a very well-made film, and it’s great to see how effectively a filmmaker can make a low-budget film look so slick and impressive.

Rated: 4/5

An effective and taut mystery thriller that mostly eschews cliches...

Warped Perspective

Below The Fold is a piece of fiction, but it comes with a reminder that life doesn't follow any narrative rule book.

While Below the Fold may not cover a whole lot of new ground, what it covers it does so engagingly and with uncommon insight into rural life and the secrets we don't talk about.

Rated: 3.0/4.0

If you're looking for a decent procedural no-nonsense crime film and no more, this one fits the bill.

Rated: B

There have been way to many movies of late that leave you guessing at the end of the movie. While some may think " ooh so creative" i just think it means they are not creative enough to think up an ending. i want to see the whole movie, not parts.

Two local new reporters throw their journalistic professionalism as well as their common sense right out the window while investigating a serial killer in Below The Fold. However, there’s never any real tension or suspense generated because their ineptitude is so monumental, there’s never the ghost of a chance of the killer ever being caught! The two leads are supposed to have some history, but this is never developed, and the actors have neither the charisma nor chemistry together to cause us to care. The ending will make you groan with dissatisfaction. Ignore the (undeserved) positive Tomatometer reviews and skip this one!

I liked it. Not so much the ending, unless it makes for a sequel. Great chemistry between the leads.

Well made but ultimately disappointing. The basic plot would be a forgettable episode in a police procedural series and that's fine because it's so well shot, acted and edited. However, they try to be a bit too clever in the final 20 mins and the whole businesses feels like a wasted experience.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

I was very pleasantly surprised by this extremely unassuming cast who acted so naturally that I forgot they were acting. A hidden gem for mystery lovers. No high drama just real.
