Disappointing. It wasn't infuriatingly awful the way Alien Covenant was, but there's not much to redeem this aside from being... not the worst movie out there. Fun effects and the occasional tense scene can't bring this back from being a very weak, hard to enjoy failure. I really wanted to love this, but even after watching it twice, I can't find enough positives to even like it.

Definitely worth a rental. Its a monster story but then director is smart enough to never take the focus off the people in danger. One of Stewarts better performances. The pacing really keeps the energy of the story going.

Fantastic film. The action started seconds into the film's opening and the tension doesn't end until the last second. It's rare to see a horror film doesn't rely on jump scares, especially for a smaller budget films with very limited casts, but Underwater accomplished it beautifully. The final unveil of the film was such a shocking revelation, it reframed the entire film. This film uses "show, don't tell" technique to tell the story of the world, the lab, and the main character without having to explicitly pointing things out to the viewers. Underwater is definitely my favorite horror film of the year.
