The Thing Below (2004)

Very Cool!!!

That was an excellent one.

Don't Believe the Hype

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

I can not recommend this movie less. It is so stunningly beneath awful that it drops through the floor of the universe and comes out on top. If that makes sense. Which this movie does not.In a nutshell, the story is a composite of Alien, Event Horizon, Leviathan, and Ghost Ship, with a knock-off crew from The Abyss and Armaggeddon. Seriously, you have seen this story many, many times before. And why is there always one guy with a cowboy hat?Stilll, if you have a Roku box and time not spent on something more productive like porn, this movie offers so many unintentional laughs that it's really worth watching. It truly earns the Academy award for the very antithesis of good dialogue. And the casting? Ah, tres merdefique! The casting director's couch is still sweating Astroglide and incompetence. Personal favorite is the hottie "professor" that might be old enough to vote 5 years from now.In the end though, it's the horrendous CGI that truly lowers the bar for all. Rendered at some resolution so low it must be measured in Kelvin, the creature is a testimonial to any 12-year-old with a dream, and a pirated copy of After Effects.

There are no words to describe the absolute misery that this movie will subject you to. Before its end, you too would gladly welcome death.The plot is awful. The CGI looks like it was hand-drawn onto the frames in production. The beginning credits attempt to be creative but butcher the intro. The same footage is shown over and over again, and most of it looks like it came from a 1980's 8bit video game.What's worse is the insulting attempt to cover up how awful this film is by including a few busty women. If that's all you want from a movie, then you'll find it here. Just don't expect to be entertained.If you're considering watching this movie, please don't throw away your life like that. Your time will be much better spent by watching that horrible Ewok movie that Lucas put out in '84. You deserve better than this.

This movie and its twin Deep Evil (2004) (TV) are painful to watch.I won't go into too much detail or reiterate what others have written. I did watch the whole thing but my excuse is that I was watching this in the background while on the computer.I kept on having deja vu while this played and I just could not put my finger on it - cheesy CGI, less than enthusiastic acting, and some other details.The overall idea, some of the effects, scenery, bio-hazard outfits, black eyeballs, and "lumpy" skin all looked too familiar - I looked up the cast and crew for this movie and Ah ha! I had seen Deep Evil (2004) recently. They share so much: plot, effects, and one of the writers. Who knows maybe some of the footage got mixed up on the cutting room floor? Don't bother with the movie. Watch paint dry. (Or watch both movies and compare, for fun!)

The worst movie I have EVER seen! I could not even finish watching it all. Please, don't waste your time with this sorry movie. Special fx looked stupid!! Story line is not even a good one. I normally watch everything no matter how bad the movie is. But,this movie I couldn't get to the middle without shutting it off. Why was this movie made?? You want to see a good movie? Try Darkness Falls or Deep Blue Sea. The Devil's Rejects was a very good movie, too. The Island was underrated, but a very good movie. All in all, The Thing Below had poor acting. The scenes I seen are not even worth mentioning. This movie is a one rating compared to Deep Blue Sea witch is a 7. The scale is from 1(the worst) to 10(the greatest).
