it was ok, somewhat entertaining. I was hoping they could have saved the victim, at the end.

I thought this was a pretty good movie. Nice atmosphere, original story and creepy to boot. Some of the shots actually reminded me of the look of the Dario Argento flick, "Suspiria." Nora Zehetner acts well (if the name doesn't ring a bell, you may know her and her big brown doe-eyes from the recent season of Grey's Anatomy where she plays Dr. Reed Adamson, one of the resident/refugees from that other hospital that merged with Seattle Grace.)

Definitely worth a rental, and therefore, definitely worth a credit! :)

"A depressed young woman who has visions about an accident which eventually caused the death of her older sister returns home to visit her creepy brother-in-law and niece. While there, the niece's grandmother dies and she has a vision right before it happens. The niece confides that there is something 'inside the walls' which is responsible. Some kind of monster. During the course of the investigation, she discovers the house used to be an escape route for local minors and the house is riddled with mysterious hatches and bolt holes.

Initially I found this film suspenseful. But I grew bored waiting for the big reveal. The grandmother, and child, were excessively creepy, and I think it would've been more interesting if the characters were more normal even likeable. The house itself was interesting, but it was never explained why the miners felt the need to make *a house* into an escape hatch for the mines. It would make more sense if the house was part of the Underground Railway or something. Also the house was very dark and drab and in an obvious bid to make it look scary, I think they went to far. It was difficult for me to believe anyone would want to live there.

Overall, this was an okay film. If you like the type of film where no one believes the central character isn't crazy until the very end, this one is for you. I found myself unsatisfied with the ending and impatient towards the end for things to happen. The final scene rang hollow and was anti-climatic.

3 stars. Not the worst horror I've seen but not all that great either."

Surprisingly good!

"Don't let he MTV logo on the box affect your decision to see this! I was surprised to see that there is a solid story here, characters with personalities, some great acting, and no cheesy nudity. A girl returns to the town she grew up in after a number of years away to attend a funeral. She had been sent away after her sister's funeral with a brother-in-law and niece as her onlt family left. She starts to have blackouts, visions through sketches, and people begin to die. It even has some dark and creepy elements. I recommend this and I would watch it again, even own it.
There is nothing "MTV" about this movie! :)"

"i had really low expectations going in to this movie.mainly because of the words MTV films appearing on the screen.so i was really surprised at how well done this psychological suspense thriller was.i found it very atmospheric,and suspenseful.there weren't a lot of cheap scares.it was intelligent,and well written,in my opinion.the ending was unexpected.i was also very impressed with the acting.Nora Zehetner as Christy was very good,but Matthew Settle as John really impressed.basically,my opinion of MTV films went up several notches after this film was over.for me,Beneath is a well deserved 4/5
