The Devil Below 2021

This movie blows chunks. That should be enough said, but I'll add some... This movie reeks, it stinks, it sucks, it's lousy. The ONLY thing I can even remotely give this movie any "credit" for is the opening scene: I'll give them credit for hooking you. Especially when the opening scene makes you THINK Will Patton is the actual star of the film. (Hint: He's not) I should have turned it off the moment the prologue ended and they "flash-forwarded" to the female protagonist. From the get-go, they tried to make her appear tough, no-nonsense, all business, you can't get close to me heroine...and from the get-go, she couldn't pull it off. I don't know if she's truly Latina or just trying to pull it off as part of the schtick but her "accent" was just bad enough to be annoying; it didn't come across as harsh, real, or anything but as an actress trying to pull off a Hispanic accent. The story itself was anything but original, and probably the single most annoying thing: you never really get a look at whatever this creature/alien/monster/demon thing is. The best you get is some pencil sketches in an old cabin, but the film? Nada...just grainy "oh! I think I saw something!" shots and one or two split-second from-a-distance looks. The one redeeming quality this film has is that it's only an hour and a half and then mercifully it's over. With a very predictable ending. Yay. I love happy endings. :rolling_eyes:
