Critics Consensus

Below is a creepy, claustrophobic exercise in style.

3/4

His Below is one of the scariest, most intense ghostly tales in a long time. Yet the ghost in question hardly lifts a finger and the unhinged human protagonists do most of the damage.

The film has enough spooky momentum and good actors to keep it going.

An enjoyable, if occasionally flawed, experiment.

If you're into thrillers - late 90s early 2000s, obviously - this one is definitely for you.

7/10

A mystery is also afoot (relying far too heavily on flashbacks), to impart purpose to the haunting, but it's the general mood that is most compelling.

We get the sense that Twohy wants to push this movie to the limits but eases up in the last minutes and tends to resort to old horror clichs...

Expected this to be better than it was. Maybe supernatural but cheesy. Josh Harnett’s character was uneven and not consistent. Not believable even for a sci-fi movie. I wouldn’t recommend. Go for Widow’s Bay instead!

Standard horror movie filled with ignorant people who ignore signs of danger. Kept me entertained for three episodes, but then I gave up.

I thought it would be no good based on some reviews, but I really liked it. The actors were great, they captured the essence of that area of Canada perfectly.

Old fashioned horror. Probably takes too long but well worth watching

Charlie went method for this garbage, the accent is awful and distracting for newfies and mainlanders. 0 indigenous representatives. Criminally not real or logistics wise either. Just a steaming pile of shit with posh actors who can’t act anyways. Get Hollywood out f NL.
