THE CREATURE BELOW is a British indie horror flick with some mildly interesting touches, but in the end the experience is soured by an air of tired predictability and a willingness to take the story in a very ordinary direction. The young female protagonist is a diver who brings something back from the depths; it turns out to be a bloodsucking squid monster which she keeps in a tank. Eventually, she feeds a few people to it. The story is as mundane as that, not helped by indifferent performances and direction that screams "first time". I'm a massive fan of Lovecraft and I was hoping this would be more along that line, but aside from the cheesy final scene this never rises above the ordinary.
