Whatever tension the pic manages to build ... is mostly undercut by the recurring appearance of the fish and by the generally overemphatic performances of the human cast ...

As shrill as it often is, the film's situational peril makes otherwise unlikable characters sympathetic, or maybe just sympathetic enough.

Rated: 2.5/4

Village Voice

A proudly lowbrow, low-budget monster movie that sees nothing wrong with the cheap-and-dirty shortcuts of yesteryear.

Beneath is a shrewd morality experiment that asks its audience a difficult question — what would they do if they were in the same boat — on top of showing what happens when baser instincts supersede compassion.

Rated: 3/5

It's all so stupefyingly disconnected from any actual human experience it almost maybe sort of spins back around on itself

An entertaining B grade creature feature that's potentially better made than those forgotten films of yore it may bring to mind.

An old-school-style aquatic monster flick that doesn’t need its oversized, absurd-looking fish, as the real horrors come from the monstrous behavior of the people on the boat. Still, it’s not bad overall.

Surprisingly, this was even worse than I thought it would be. The acting was bizarre at best, and downright awful at worst. The editing was a mess and the music didn't do much for the tone of the film other than to make scenes supposed to be tense hilariously over dramatic and tonally dissonant. The monster effects were practical which was nice to see, but the creature design was just too goofy to take seriously. Just awful in every regard.

That was truly a rotten movie. With an overused plot, the movie still could have been good if the actors were good or if at least the effect were. But there was nothing in this movie that is worth mentioning. Lethargic plot, acting and effects.
