Once upon a time, makers of 'ghost story' type films understood that the most effective scare is that which the viewer concocts for him/herself. Suggestion is more powerful than visual evidence. For a prime example of this genre, find 1960-something's "The Haunting" (Claire Bloom etc). Easily the most frightening movie ever--but everything is very skillfully left--or perhaps placed--into the imagination of the viewer.
Then there came a long, long period where directors forgot that fact. What became more important wasn't "whodunit" but "howhedunit." Gore galore. The only problem was that these films completely lost the haunting tone of their predecessors.
In the last few years, amazingly, filmmakers are returning to the former genre of filmmaking. Witness Blair Witch, The Ring, Ghost Ship, and now Below, in which more is left to the imagination of the viewer, and these films are better for it. If you hold up "The Haunting" as penultimate, these movies are well worth watching to see the genre being reborn.
If you're a fan of, say, Wes Craven, give Below a miss. Otherwise enjoy.
Rates a solid 7/10

In this day of computer animation, fine though it may be, Disney bucks the trend to produce another hand-animated feature. And the results are wonderful! Stylistically animated, the results are nowhere near as lush as the Little Mermaid, but seem to suit the film perfectly. Kudos to the cast for wonderful voice-acting. Spade and Warburton shine, and John Goodman is fine in the role of straight-man Pacha. Don't miss this one!
Energetic actioner unhampered by any plot whatsoever (increasingly less surprising in Crichton's work). Effects are top-notch and the cast of largely-unknowns has a fine silly time chasing twisters across Oklahoma and merrily chewing the scenery in the process. Bill Paxton is fun, as he has been ever since stealing scenes in Aliens, but seems less comfortable with a leading-man position than he is with a supporting role. If slam-bang action is your bag, this is the flick for you! But if you prefer byzantine plotting and meaningful dialogue, move along, move along. Nothing to see here, citizens.
