The Monster Beneath Us

I had high hopes for The Monster Beneath Us, but it turned out to be one of the weakest horror films I've seen in a while. The story feels half-baked from the beginning, with no proper setup or explanation for the events that unfold. The pacing is painfully slow, and instead of building suspense, it just drags. When the ending comes, you're left more confused than scared-there's no real payoff or resolution. Worst of all, it's not even scary. There's no atmosphere, no tension, and the "monster" is barely even present. It feels like a film that didn't know what it wanted to be. Sadly, a waste of time.

This beautifully shot film is: pointless, witless, as motionless to the eye as air (i.e., glaciers seem rapid in pace), without a soul, more cryptic than Sasquatch, an empty hot air balloon that lands nowhere, and just positively knickers. It is like reading the first and last page of an H. P. Lovecraft novel over and over and over. I am so glad that someone has given this a decent rating because it is clear that the filmmakers have expended tremendous energy in gestating this project that in my opinion is stillborn. As someone with a film degree, I think a class discussion on this would be quite like discussing American politics on Reddit. Cheers!

Beautiful location and sets, but completely empty ending. No explanation as to what happened or is happening throughout the movie. Mildly spooky but not scary and used poor CGI. Lastly, the "son" is quite obviously a girl actress and so I assumed it would play into the story by the end, no luck. Nothing against Trans but this was like having Wesley Snipes play Cinderella, very distracting. So much potential to create a Gothic movie with excellent scenery and editing but a tot lack of plot and character development or at least explanation makes the movie come up way short of feeling like a complete production.

It 's good if you want to sleep easily after a horror movie. I never understand why 1 or 2 persons come and live in a mansion where 10 people can be easily living without even contracting with each other.

Mom always has 1 candle in her hand even in the rooms full of light. Constantly looking for Charly and Monster which Charly the little kid calls friend is not even visible or be seen by no one and again how come a kid make it a Friend?!!!!!In the Basement.

Movie and plot you better watch yourself but always have 1 candle ON especially in the rooms that are bright enough, and remember she is not looking for her ring, she is looking for a person who can be seen even in a little light.

BTW the son says no wonder why dad liked it here because it's quiet and whatever, but no one cares he committed Suicide here and why again such a big mansion in the woods for 1 adult and 1 kid would be proper and logical after a death in the same house. Honestly Based on the kid clothes and conversations with the mom , I thought they are girl and the daughter of family for the first 20 mins😂😂

This is simply a gem of a production...and what's not to love about a nineteenth century horror set in olde Yorkshire!

The cast are fab, as is the setting and lighting.

Horror normally, probably not one of my fave genres either and so it has to be a great story, well acted, and sufficiently suspenseful to keep me engaged.

Hopefully going to take the Mrs to see this one too and looking forward to seeing what she thinks of it as well. I think she will love it, as will most fans of the genre.

Here's hoping for more new films like this going forwards instead of pointless remakes and super hero saturation.
