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).
- Goofs(at around 1h 22 mins) When 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
Surprisingly suspenseful and atmospheric supernatural WW2 thriller.
I enjoyed 'Below' a LOT more than I anticipated. It's a very similar movie in theme to the disappointing 'The Bunker', apart from the obvious difference of being set on a submarine of course. But unlike 'The Bunker' this movie has interesting characters that a)you can tell apart, and b) actually care about their fate. The script, direction and acting are all superior, and it's very effective in conveying the tense atmosphere of a sub in WW2, despite not being made on a mega-budget. I like David Twohy's debut 'Pitch Black', and I like 'Below' even more. It's not only a very well made suspense movie, but also a good war one. I hope Twohy fulfills his promise in projects to come.
