Cath Clarke Guardian The denouement when it comes is meant to be shriek of pure sci-fi horror; but really, you'd find better entertainment - and more energetic acting - watching a fish tank. Rated: 1/5 Feb 16, 2021 Full Review Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com What Lies Below mostly coasts on its never-fully exploited main scenario: what would you do if an attractive eccentric tried to be your stepfather? Rated: 2/4 Dec 4, 2020 Full Review Amanda the Jedi Amanda the Jedi (Youtube) Disturbing but probably not entirely in the way they were aiming for. Jul 4, 2021 Full Review Margot Harrison Seven Days (VT) The awkward storytelling and dialogue don't feel meaningful or deliberate, and the ending isn't tantalizing so much as mishandled. Rated: 2.5/5 Apr 21, 2021 Full Review Tom Meek Cambridge Day ...the eerie ride becomes bad camp... Rated: 1.5/4 Apr 15, 2021 Full Review Austin Burke Austin Burke/Flick Fan Nation This film features a somewhat interesting setup, but the lack of any sort of payoff keeps it from thriving. Rated: 4/10 Apr 8, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Tamika p This was the worst movie by far. Cant believe the screenwriter even thought of this horrible mess. Maybe if the ending was better, I would rethink my decision but this is an overall no good. Do not recommend!!!! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/15/24 Full Review Kasey C Not good at all! Someone told me the end was worth it but it definitely wasnt. Hard to follow and just not very entertaining unfortunately. Has a good idea but execution is terrible Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/07/24 Full Review Tina K Sucked and a waste of time! There is no pay off at the end, as someone claimed. Stupid ending and that is 1.5 hours of my life that I'll never get back! Good grief! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/21/24 Full Review Donna-lee E If I had a rotten tomato or just about anything at the time of watching I would have thrown it at this movie. It could of had potential but this train wreck got worse at it hurtled along, I stick in there to the end but was glad it was over, if not annoyed by the wasted time. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/24 Full Review Gianmarco R This is not a real review, it should be taken more as a collection of impressions on the film. Wow, where to start, well certainly from saying that the film is a total waste because it could have been a very banal thriller and it would have been negative but not too much and instead it dares more wanting to become much more classic horror and less psychological thriller with a twist of the plot right towards the end which radically changes the film making it no longer banal but really bad, this unexpected change of direction succeeds in the arduous task of making this thriller worse which otherwise would have been simply banal but acceptable but instead it is really terrible in this way. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/18/23 Full Review GM M Woeful, I repeat, woeful. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
