Usually I don't enjoy horror films, although I should bring myself to watch it just for the submarine shots; exteriors & interiors. It does have some positive reviews:
Quote:
From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Below_(film)

Reception:
The film gained an approval rating of 63% on Rotten Tomatoes with 43 out of 68 reviews calling it fresh. Reviewers on Metacritic gave a mixed response with a 55% approval rating based on 20 reviews. Entertainment Weekly gave the film a B+ rating, calling it a "handsome, haunting submarine thriller". Edward Guthmann from the San Francisco Chronicle gave a mainly negative review stating that the dialogue was "heavy on sarcasm and puncturing insults, never captures the World War II period but sounds ridiculously anachronistic". Variety Magazine gave the movie a mixed review stating that "the strenuous seriousness the film applies to an idea that is finally silly at its core steadily increases the impression of overwrought artificiality as matters progress".
Maybe someday I'll see it because of your post.... you have my curiosity up now. Thanks.

Happy Hunting!
