Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin
The movie really just wants to entertain people.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

While crossing the Mojave Desert to go to a wedding in Los Angeles, Paul (Josh Stewart) and his girlfriend Adrienne (Jamie-Lynn Sigler) have a car accident. They decide to spend for the night into the Roy's Motel and Cafe and they check-in with a man called Frank (Chris Browning). Paul is uncomfortable to disclose a secret to Adrienne while Frank's wife Sandy (Angela Featherstone) has a hidden past that affects their lives. Along the night, weird and surreal things happen to Paul until a stranger help him to discover the truth and make a choice."Beneath the Dark" is an engaging but predictable thriller. The story is unoriginal and the mystery is easily disclosed still in the beginning. But anyway it is entertaining. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "A Escolha" ("The Choice")

This was a very well done story of redemption and seeing the effects that the choices we have made can have on our lives, as well as others. I won't go into much detail, even though I've clicked the spoiler option, but this movie was well paced, and well acted, as well as being thoughtful and entertaining. This was one of those Netflix suggestions that was actually very accurate for my taste in movies.If you like this style of suspense, don't miss this one. While it does take a while to get going, this gives us time to get to see each of the troubled individuals in the plot, and to understand what they are dealing with, and as the movie progresses we see why this is so important. In a way, this movie reminded me of the Butterfly Effect, just because of the theme it's selling.

I can't believe the low ratings - what is the matter with you people?!?! Yeah, the story has been done before, but there is enough originality to hold my interest through the entire movie. The acting was awesome. There are enough twists and turns throughout to keep it interesting.I love indie movies, and this is an example of why i love them so much. I watch a LOT of movies, so if come across one that can keep my attention through the entire thing, it's a big deal. This one kept my attention all the way to the end.I think if you watch this without trying to compare it to something else and just enjoy the story, it is an enjoyable and interesting plot.

Wow, I just finished watching this and I cannot frigg'n believe that people only have rated it an average of 4.8. Geez... What the HELL do people wanna see these days anyway, I mean REALLY! I've commented on a few other Indie films recently where I felt they were rated way too low, but the average rating this one has REALLY burns my butt.Okay, maybe the story is not completely original; and maybe people may be put off by the VERY MILD spiritual overtones. BUT... and it is a BIG BUT like Mariah Carey's... the film was very well directed and written, and it is one of the rare cases where it is acted even better. The main dude Josh was like a younger, milder version of Sean Pen; the guy was COOL personified. And the Black Dude, MAN! I don't know where they found him, but he was bloody PERFECT! The acting alone was so well done and blessedly NOT over the top or overdone in ANY way what so ever, that that alone merits a 7 or more. That is EXTREMELY rare these days; usually, the acting is one of THE worst parts of these kinds of films.In my lowly and wretched opinion, many of these other Indie Horror films can be a bit rough and are DEEPLY into 'B' territory, but THIS baby here frigg'n ROCKED with much better quality than usual. I have to say that this is one particular case where I am truly disgusted with what people have rated this film; it really almost makes me lose total hope for the taste of the movie going / watching public. I'm not gonna add snide comments about how mindless people are who have rated this low or how horrible their taste is, etc., etc., like you usually hear all the time in cases like this. No... But, I WILL say that PLEASE remember that the purpose for reviewing and rating films here is NOT just to trash these films because of our individual little petty and pissy likes and dislikes. NO... The primary reason why I come here myself is to get an HONEST and OBJECTIVE view of the Quality of the film itself REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU COMPLETELY LIKED IT OR NOT. Man, it's like if a movie doesn't just make you explode in your pants, you're gonna give it a crap rating (of course, if a movie DOES indeed make you explode in your pants, that probably would merit a '10' : )Let's remember here people that sometimes we may not personally like a film for one reason or another, but if it is well made and of high quality, it would really be appreciated if ones would temper their ratings and reviews and try to be a little more OBJECTIVE and include that information for those of us who just MIGHT damn well appreciate a movie that is well done like this, despite the fact that YOU didn't like it...THAT is precisely why we come here...
