It Came from Below

This film had potential and there were moments when it appeared that it may bounce back. However, it never rebounded into anything other then a waste of a good afternoon.

I can deal with poor acting and poor lighting. A lack of a consistent plot, character development and story is too much. Wanted to buy into the mythos, but I feel even the writer lost their footing as the film developed.

This honestly had the chance to be a good movie. But it fell flat. The worst part was the music. No matter what I did I could not hear the majority of the dialogue because of the music. It was frustrating and because of this I had a hard time actually figuring out what was going on. I actually created an account because I wanted to review this movie it was so poorly edited. Seriously people, it is called background music for a reason.

This movie is missing a few key components for making a good movie. Good acting, plausible story, special effects, etc. This movie lacks every single thing required. The acting, especially when being attacked, is awful, absolutely awful. The story is just plain dumb. I've seen other cave movies and there's enough ambient lights to know what's going on but this is total darkness aside from seeing up their nose. I'm sure that saved a lot on production cost filming in total darkness but it made for one very crappy movie. Definitely skip this one.

Overall It Came From Below is a very disappointing movie. Even for a low budget film... it's pretty bad. The acting is unimpressive... the plot is nonsensical... the characters are idiotic... and the creature and its abilities are unexplained and erratic.

You have characters making truly idiotic choices, which even for a horror movie make absolutely no sense. You have a creature that has mind control abilities... sometimes... when it's convenient... and not others... which feeds on people... sometimes... and other times ignores them completely... None of it makes any real sense.

Most of the movie takes place in a dark cave, with little light, and little idea what's actually happening. The insane amount of shaky cam doesn't help at all.

The creature looks decent. Honestly it could have been a decent movie if not so horrifically written, as it had an okay concept. But it's just a horrible mess that's not worth watching.

Like a JV version of the Descent. Without the skilled actors, credible story, effects and pretty much everything else.
