20 Feet Below: The Darkness Descending

Don't judge this by the bad reviews. Give it a try first. Very good acting and direction. Lots of satisfyingly glib dialogue.

Review: What an awful movie. I lost interest after the first 15 minutes and I really struggled to stay awake through the rest. I didn't know what was happening from one scene to the next and I didn't really care. I know that it was about this underworld with good and evil living there but that was about it. Everyone that starred in the movie was overacting except for a Trejo who was pretty cool. By the end of the film I didn't know who was who or what was what and I wasn't about to rewind the film to find out. It amazing me how films like these actually get a budget. Awful!

Round-Up: None of the actors in this film, except for Trejo, looks familiar so I can't really comment about there previous work or there careers. The leading character got on my nerves after a while and his whole moody persona was annoying. I understand that the character had a shady past and the whole dark underworld feel was needed for the character, but it was hard to watch. Basically it was another bad choice on my behalf but I'm sure that this type of film has it's audience, somewhere in the wilderness. 

I recommend this movie to people who are into there thrillers about a dark underworld controlled by a evil man who doesn't like outsiders. 1/10

'20 Ft Below: The Darkness Descending' was another film seen with not high expectations. Was worried as to whether it would be silly and do nothing new with a tired concept. It was though another film seen out of curiosity for primarily Danny Trejo, who can save bad projects and is one of those watchable enough actors too often poorly used.

It was a good thing that expectations were not high because '20 Ft Below: The Darkness Descending' fails to deliver in many, make that most or even almost every, ways. It is not one of the worst films seen, of its genre and overall. It's not even among the worst of my recent film viewings which has seen a lot of above average to gem standard stuff and just as much wastes of potential.

That Trejo is the best thing about it, being the actor who tries most without over-compensating and there are signs of his bad-ass persona, but criminally underused in a caricature role with a far too short screen time says a lot about the film's quality. Generally the actors try too hard and come over as cartoonish.

Didn't find anything intriguing, investable or rootable about any of the characters and the dialogue is both stilted and over-heated. The direction is flat.

Furthermore, the story just doesn't grab the attention, gets pretty silly to the wrong side of camp and hammy and is not easy to follow at times due to being an under-explored kitchen sink of different tones and ideas. It looks poor, very murky and drab in lighting and filmed with next to no care or coherence.

In summary, fails to deliver and even Trejo can't save it. 2/10 Bethany Cox

It's a a B movie of course...but not as bad as some are reviewing. Danny has definitely payed better parts but not too bad...just enjoy the ride.

First, I want to start the same way I start all my reviews. I love horror movies. I grew up watching them since I was a little kid.

This movie I don't consider a horror movie, but more of an action movie. Did it get a little dark sometimes? Yeah it did. Was it a little bit bloody and gory yes a little but to me, It was more action than it was horror. Even though it was marked horror.

I'm not usually a big fan of Danny Trejo. I just never enjoyed his films. This is one film. I can actually say that I really Enjoyed watching him.

All of the people in this movie did a great job in acting. The main girl Kinga Philipps I is the only person where I did not enjoy her acting at all. It was awful In my opinion.

Michael Rene Walton Played his character so well! He really did a great job portraying crazy.

I would definitely recommend this movie.
