Twohy is not only skilled at building and maintaining suspense, he’s also aware that a cast chock full of experienced character actors is the right fit for a haunted sub flick.

an exceedingly clever piece of cinema.another great ‘what you don’t see’ is much more terrifying than what you do see thriller, coupled with some arresting effects, incandescent tones and stupendous performances

Thanks to strong acting and low-key direction, Below stays above water in atmosphere and suspense.

There is nothing outstanding about this film, but it is good enough and will likely be appreciated most by sailors and folks who know their way around a submarine.

A crisp psychological drama [and] a fascinating little thriller that would have been perfect for an old "Twilight Zone" episode.
