SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

mercygogi This is really one of worst movies I ever seen since years

jefuab Beneath (2013, Larry Fessenden) has a set of highly obnoxious characters who are whittled down to the irredeemable few by a large catfish.There are good things about this film, they are: 1. The catfish; although not at all anatomically correct it is striking and the plus is that it is a prop, not CGI, which makes it physically imposing.2. I personally like that the film is almost entirely in daylight. It's a brave move because it means the monster is shown in daylight, so you see it clearly when it is on the screen. I prefer my Godzilla fights during the day, so why not my attacking fish.That's it. Here are the bad points: 1. The characters are sickening. I don't go in for this "let's make these people total trash so we all want to see them die!" rubbish. Wasn't Bradford Dillman and Heather Menzies a good duo in Piranha? Weren't Fred Ward and Kevin Bacon a good team in Tremors? Wasn't Sigourney Weaver just great in the Alien films? 2. The music is poor. It floats around like it's from another film. Music is supposed to be a reflection of what's happening on screen and what we as viewers are meant to be feeling. This generated virtually no tension whatsoever.3. The story line. It's basically a version of The Raft, a segment of Creepshow 2, where a bunch of annoying people hang out on a raft only to be picked off one by one by a thing in the water.4. The filming lacks energy and creativity.This film seems to have been made by people who were not interested in making a horror film at all, but yet were retro enough to not go down the CGI route, which appeases people like me, and yet they did go down the route of not caring about plot and characterisation- the not caring of which typically goes hand in hand with CGI monsters, so it's a total disaster.I watched it once and liked what I liked. I will not be watching this film again.It gets a 4 because of the catfish and the daylight!

kdmode Mortifiyingly bad!It was like a cheap home movie a few 12 year old's could make in their back yard:The entire movie is 6 (supposedly) 18 year old's afraid of a fake rubber fish with Nosferatu teeth while "stranded" in the middle of a lake.The fish is so cheap looking that it's laughable! Except, this isn't supposed to be a comedy. They impale the fish with a broken oar and for the rest of the movie it looks like a diver is swimming underneath said fish holding into the stick to maneuver it around the lake.From this point on I was expecting the "teenagers" (yeah, right - they looked more like 29 year old's!) to grab the stick, capture the rent-a-fish, swim to shore and toss it on the grill and have a party. But while that was wishful thinking, it would have made a better story line than what was to follow in this failure of a film.Oh, and Nosferatu Fish is afraid of a charm necklace - with a tooth on it. (groan).Bad camera angles, bad lighting, water droplets on the camera lens. In some scenes you couldn't see the actors faces properly so any emotion they were trying to convey was lost.The worst acting I've seen in years. Don't be surprised if you never see most of these actors ever again.The dialog is so bad that during one "emotional" scene it looked as if one of the actors was so embarrassed he was laughing when he was supposed to be crying. Everyone is in danger so you expect people to die. But the characters are so annoying you can't wait for them to die!There was not one redeeming factor in this train wreck. Not a single scary moment. No real suspense. No real fear. No likable characters. No relatable characters. No terrifying monsters. You can't even say it was so bad it was entertaining or campy. It's just so bad it's bad.

Michael Thompson Frankly I don't know how these young actors could keep straight faces while making this stupid movie, yes I said stupid. Also I don't understand how anybody and everybody involved just did not refuse to make this movie.?????This movie could have been a bit better if the giant fish in the river had not looked so false. It looked like a huge wind up toy.It looked like it come from the puppet TV series Stingray.Also I've seen many rubbish movies, and so I cant understand why they are made ??????. Why would a director, direct a rubbish film in general.???.In the movie world today there are so many unanswered questions.Part of the story line in this film is about several young people suddenly without oars to get their boat to back to land, so what do they do with their time ?????. Argue amongst themselves. I felt like telling them all to shut bloody, up!This movie was frustratingly stupid. End of story.
