Review of Below (2002) by Allan C — 18 Jan 2013
David twohy teams with Darren aronofsky to bring a hybrid thriller alive. The film failed to find an audience originally but should of found a cult status by now. Filled with character actors you will be quite amazed which young actors you find here.
The film plays out like an old fashioned world war 2 film but strange things start occuring. David twohy brings some much needed character interaction along with the style he brung to pitch black. The only issue I had was the pacing which leaves you scratching your head.
The acting is quite good but some of the unknown actors are clearly out of there place. Interesting cast choices do what they can with some underwritten roles.
The films atmosphere and hybrid nature create something missing from mainstream cinema. The film takes a lot of risks and leaves you guessing for most part. Not for everyone but those with an interest in the supernatural genre will find something here.
