The Monster Beneath Us

A Review of an Extremely Weak Horror Movie

If we want to talk about one of the worst films in the horror genre, The Monster Beneath Us is definitely a top contender. This movie is a disaster in every aspect: a nonsensical plot, terrible acting, laughable special effects, and most importantly, it is not scary at all.

The story is supposedly about a haunted house, but the screenplay is so scattered and incoherent that it feels like the writer changed direction halfway through. The characters have no depth, and their actions make no sense, so much so that the audience doesn't care about their fate at all.

The acting in this film is on the level of a school play. The dialogues are artificial and exhausting, and even in scenes that are supposed to be the peak of horror, the actors react as if they are reading a promotional text message! In one so-called scary scene, the main character stares in terror at a chair, but absolutely nothing happens.

The special effects are so weak that they look like they were made with a free mobile app. The monsters (if they can even be called that) are so poorly designed that they resemble characters from an old video game. The sound design doesn't create any sense of tension and only serves to annoy the audience.

And the most important point: this movie is not scary at all. There are no proper jump scares, no chilling atmosphere, and not a single scene that makes the audience feel uneasy. In fact, the only feeling viewers will have after watching this film is frustration over wasted time.

In the end, The Monster Beneath Us is not just a bad horror movie-it's a bad movie in any genre. If you're looking for a disappointing cinematic experience and want to waste your time, this is the perfect choice!

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😂😂

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.

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!

What's the point of making such a movie You have no idea what was the monster You have no idea why this monster was in that basement What was the connection between the maiden and the monster Why the monster wants the mother not the kid or father I mean there should be a connection when you have a literal monster in your basement with the owner of the house not the wife from other towns or cities And for the love of god why this movie was so long My brother said he will never watch a horror movie again and I feel the same after this movie.

And let's not talk about poor CGI , I'm sure you can find better artists in freelancing websites to do your CGI but still it's not the point the movie wouldn't be any better even with that To be honest you could make a short movie with the first and the last ten minutes and it would be much better thank you so much for wasting our time on this artistic peace of art .
