Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDarren Aronofsky, who co-wrote the screenplay, was originally going to direct the film in 1999 but instead made Requiem for a Dream (2000).
- GoofsWhen the crew comes out of the sub from the forward torpedo room, they walk up stairs. In submarines during the war, there were no stairs out of a ship; sailors climbed up ladders through hatches. They walked through the forward torpedo loading hatch that was opened, and stairs were added to the sub after turning it into a museum ship to make it convenient for tourists to enter and exit the sub.

Featured review
Sinister and creepy.
Set in 1943, a submarine - The USS Tiger Shark - rescues three survivors from a boat after a torpedo attack. Soon after the rescue, things start going wrong.
'Below' is confined to a submarine, and it is sinister and creepy. When it becomes clear there is evil on board, it allows for great character development, and tension. The casting was perfect and the actors delivers great performances. Olivia Williams in particular was very good as the only female character, Claire. Despite being the only woman on board, Claire remained a strong, wilful character.
'Below' is a horror film that also serves as a mystery thriller and a disaster movie. Set inside the submarine, it was claustrophobic, but effective, with no way to escape. There's also a well set-up twist towards the end.
