It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Listen,the acting in this movie is painful. But the cinematography is great. I just read they made this movie for 13 grand! The production value seems way higher than that. And I read this was their first feature. If they had better actors and a little bit better script...there was some plot holes... this movie could have been insanely good. Very interested to see what Doucette does next. For now I would say watch From Beneath for yourself. It is a little hard to sit through at times... Like I said the acting is so bad but kind of funny because its so bad. But its worth the watch. Indie film is always interested when you take a look at what they were able to do with so little.

OK, the last few films I've seen were pretty bad indeed, but the ineptitude of this little movie about parasites that burrow under the skin of the male half of a couple who take an impromptu dip into a lake takes it up a notch (or is down a notch the correct terminology) in the bad movie spectrum.Everything about this screams awfulness. Whether it be the horribly stilted dialog, the forced unbelievable relationship strife, or even the uninspired musical score, it all adds up to one unwatchable mess of a movie.Where I saw it: Redbox Innstant

Besides the first scene, the fifteen minutes or so after that are a little slow as the characters are being developed. After that the movie is a slow burn as the intensity ramps up. The last 20 minutes alone make the movie worth the watch. From Beneath is also visually really stunning, especially the night scenes and the blood scenes. Not to mention the fact that this is a low budget indie so the fact that the cinematography was pretty well done is even more of an accomplishment. Im interested to see what David Doucette does next. With a tighter script and a bigger budget his next film could be unstoppable. Also the simple roughness of the score through out the movie is awesome, it really makes you feel the doom that awaits.

I thought I had already seen the most boring movie, but then I came across "From Beneath". I stand corrected. This movie was so boring and uneventful that it was a struggle to stay awake through it from start till end.The story in "From Beneath" is about a young couple who are out somewhere in the middle of nowhere, apparently, as they have no coverage for their mobile phones. A strange creature latches onto Jason and starts taking over his mind and body.Sure, the story was good enough in theory, but it just didn't offer anything new to the genre, nor did it at any point turn out to be anywhere remotely near scary or thrilling. The story was slow-moving and uneventful. And the horrible dialogue and staggering acting didn't really help the movie along in any way.There were so many things in the movie that just makes you stop and wonder in amazement, why someone would do such a thing in the given situation. There was a lot of moments in the movie that was just not making much sense.What I found most fun about "From Beneath" was the undefinable sources of bright light that was present in the middle of the dark woods at night. That was just hilarious. And as for creature effects, well don't expect to actually see anything aside from the odd tentacles emerging out of the water.If you enjoy thrillers and this particular genre of movies, then there are far better movies available. "From Beneath" is unfathomably boring on every account.I was thoroughly 'bored from beneath'.
