Beneath

Without a shadow of doubt, the worst movie I have ever had the misfortune to come across. The music in the film???? Holy crap, put together by some deaf hermit I imagine. My time would have been better spent smashing my special parts to a pulp with a meat tenderizer. Someone out there owes my 90 minutes.... I WANT MY LIFE BACK. The 'KILLER' fish looked like a trashed dinghy with eyes. The actors really need to find a different line of work, mc donalds maybe... Its a bit annoying trying to write 10 lines about this pile of poo. As I am writing this Scotland are beating England.... damn!!! a bloody equalizer, ah well. Oh yeah, back to jaws junior.............Don't!!!! JUST Don't!!

I don't know if this movie is the worst movie in the world bu it is in top 10 worst movies list. I only watched the movie because the person who shared this linked a different IMDb page to me and I saw the point 6,7 and decided to watch :) But for your goodness NEVER EVER NEVER Watch this movie. You can better sit and watch yourself at the mirror instead of watching this movie (I don't even want to call this a movie ) I voted 1/10 but if I could i would vote 0/10 even -1/10 for this. And i really disappointed for seeing Mark Margolis in this awful movie. He was really good actor for me after watching Breaking Bad. I think valuable actor must be more specific when choosing scenarios.

Went into this with sort of high expectations. Love a good water monster film and don't mind them low budget. I saw this trailer a while back on You Tube and thought it looked good. Basic premise - characters all with annoying character traits and not that enjoyable to watch end up on a lake with a medium sized fish puppet. Maybe my expectations were too high but the movie doesn't deliver on the trailer. The creature looked awful and probably the most fake I have seen besides most the creatures on SYFY. They show too many close up, medium and long shots of real bad fish model which clearly looks fake. I appreciate, what looked to be, practical effects over CGI but in this case it didn't help the film. Some of the better scenes with the fish is when it is submerged in the water or a shadow in the water. Its huge eyes look fake as and should have been darker to hide that fake-ness. The story is unremarkable and the characters, as written, are awful. I feel the actors did their job and no criticisms there - though none shine through. The director, I feel is sloppy as there is no build up for tension in his scenes, he rushes moments that should have levity (most death scenes besides the first girls) and the cinematography is amateurish. The director should have been in control of these aspects. The aspects of having friends making decisions about who to use as fish bait is as stupid as it sounds and comes across like voting for Big Brother. The teen love triangle and angst did leave some room for the actors to emote but again the director I feel didn't push or get the best out of them. The editing and the music was god awful and ruined some aspects of the suspense in scenes being too loud/bombastic when a softer more ambient soundtrack would have been better. With all that said I WOULD advocate for the director to be financed and to continue developing and the film was not a complete waste. It does sit well with SYFY type of films and as stated my expectations may have been too high has it was a awesome trailer.

Finally! A cheesy horror movie where the aquatic predator is NOT brought to you by the "magic" of CGI. Yes, this movie is cliché and predictable in close to every single way, but unlike every other made for ScyFi movie wherein the beast is some computer generated three-headed shark or swarm of piranhas, the creature in THIS movie actually appears to be in the water rather than edited into it after filming was complete. It may lack the kitsch of Sharknado but it deserves some credit for the old school mechanical creature effects factor. There's just something much creepier about knowing that there's really something there in the water. I have to be honest, I do not regret a single moment spent watching it.

Signs of bad: 1. Cover is more scary than the what's in the movie. Called false advertising. 2. Usual no-name studio, "Chiller Films". Usual no-name $100/day actors (OK, a few TV spots and similar cheap-to-make movies for their credits.) 3. Usual dumbed down stereotypic plot hooks: Teens in car going to a remote site to party, with lots of boring scenes of van driving on road. 4. Usual teen mix of hot chicks, jock, nerd/geek, cool quiet type guy. 5. Usual stranded setup with no cell reception (so overused there are actual web sites that list all the no-cell-reception movies). 6. Usual alcohol, usual dumb decisions, usual tension amongst are doomed group. 7. So they get boat stranded on some small lake/reservoir. Only stranded in the sense that they can't figure out how to paddle a hundred yards to shore. 8. Monster is one, and only one (reproduction is not in the cards) large catfish (they actually do get that big) with eyes on the top of it's head (why during their many chances our dummies didn't poke them out is beyond me). Eyes should have been on the side for a scavenging bottom feeder. Anyway, it's scary attribute are some teeth that are functionally pointless except for snagging on sunken trees. 9. No scary or gory scenes except for a minimal amount of prosthetic blood tossed around.

kind of the opposite of the other movie I watched today, I liked this one a lot less than I expected. Its gotten mixed reviews mostly on the good side Id say. Unfortunately it does not deserve the praise. What I did respect about the movie was the way the creature looked. It looked like they mostly used practical effects mixed with a little bit of cgi. This in my opinion was a great move on part of the directors. Using practical effects is almost a must for me. There has been a flood of cgi filled creature features and most of the time as soon as the crappy digitally animated creature shows up it pulls me right out of the movie. The creature in this movie looked great, Unfortunately the movie has nothing else going for it, The whole movie takes place around a group of teenagers stranded on a small boat. They make incredibly bad and unbelievable decisions that just make you mad and just over half way through I couldn't wait for this movie to end. It would have been nice to see them do something special with this cool creature and when it finds its first victim I thought things were looking up but they definitely went down from there.

I love this fush so much please respect her, shes doing her best and i feel like whil the men as always are too many but the main caharcter js not a man so its gery valid and the fush is amaxing truly great monstrosity i want nothing more than for her to kill me and then preform my eulogy, one guy has agressive vibes but the fish takes care of it, i stan, she is an icon, they out her thru a lot tho

Okay... I'm feeling pretty uncomfortable at the moment. Had to sleep through the night (it was not easy tho..) before i start to review this movie,because its so horrible that i have no words for it. First of all i have never seen such bad actors in my entire movie career, which contains around 1700 movies total (its not a big amount compared to the 'gurus' of IMDb, but it means something...). The FISH... seriously, what the _____ was that? The 90's had even better rubber monsters in the horror era than this.. Its so typical, the idea is awesome, the story could be awesome as well,but in the end.. its a whole lot of nothing. When i read the reviews here, first i thought "ah okay, maybe they were way too hard, it worth a try.." now i say if you want to spare 90 minutes from your life, then avoid this movie!!! Summary: Actors 1/10 - Someone slap these actors and do NOT let them play in anything anymore please! Story 7/10 The Direction of the movie 1/10 Visual 1/10 - Fish. *shoo* Camera-work 7/10 - which is surprising (at least they gave some money for an actually good person) Please, trust the reviews here, and never watch this movie.......

This movie was absolutely awful. I just don't know what to say, but I'll try to list a few of the reasons to not watch this movie. 1. The entire movie, they are the same distance from shore and do not get closer. 2. At one point, they "realize" that they were paddling in circles (in a 200 yard wide lake). 3. They decide to throw people overboard to buy time. After throwing one body and two "friends" overboard, they realize they can make oars out of the seats of the boat. What the hell? 4. Two of the three friends thrown overboard somehow survive only to be later killed in a irritating, nonsensical manner. 5. One of the "friends" gets rapped up by a slow moving rope that is powered by a tiny trolling motor. He falls over and struggles helplessly like in Austin Powers, where the guys yells stop and gets killed by a steam roller. Comedy? 6. How did they even get to the middle of the lake? It doesn't make sense that a monster hungry for human flesh would ignore the large group of loud people until they made it to the center of the lake. 7. The creature eats and eats without needing more than a few minutes to digest the bodies of a person half it's size. How many people does it take to fill that monster's belly? 8. The acting wasn't bad, but the reasoning behind each character's thought process didn't make sense. I feel bad for the actors involved since they actually weren't bad...

When six high school graduates take a rowboat out to the middle of a lake, they encounter a giant fish. Larry Fessenden's sort of JAWS homage may be a well shot B horror movie at times, but the writing and acting make the movie laughable. It begins promising enough with the stereotypical teen horror movie setup that had the potential to be a solid creature flick, but the movie immediately begins to drown in the ridiculousness of its own setting: a tiny lake. At any time, they could row their way back to shore. Even when the creature shows up, they could take five minutes to make it back to land. Instead, however, they stay in the lake. Even after they sacrifice their friends and spare Doritos to the monster, they dip their hands and a cooler top into the water in order to row further towards the center of the lake rather than to the shore. Before you know it, the surviving characters suddenly become homicidal and seem to have forgotten all about the fish. They instead decide to forget all about the creature so that they can focus their energies on fighting over the one girl left on the boat. With bad, unguided acting and a poor plot, Fessenden's film is laughable and almost unwatchable.
