alright my comment has some *spoilers* so dont read if you havn't seen it

yah bogwitch very suspenseful, to me the movie really was about something other than the actual literal plot, a deeper meaning, letting his friend die while he was hiding, he kept envisioning it while in the woods, (the monster would create these hallucinations, the monster really being his tortured mind playing tricks on him)
at the end he screams at the beast (the beast is his inner demon) his fear, and pain in that sense letting go of the past, and his guilt by venting it out with confidence...

The Silence (2019)

you talking about the ritual?

So where was the line on what things were hallucinations? Was the whole trip and his friends hallucinations? The people in the monster village were real or not? If the trip and his friends were real, how
could the hallucination-monster kill his friends?

Underwater (2020)
4/10

Hard to get through... two sittings and skipped ahead. The sets are quality, but most of the film a small group of people squeeze through confined dark spaces. The blasé characters are neither likeable or detestable. It took way too long to get to the insignificant ho-hum conclusion.

SHORTCUT 2020

A schoolbus gets trapped in a tunnel where the children confront a monster.

5/10

Sounds like you watched a different movie than me. I thought Underwater was a nice surprise and I loved the reveal of the bad guy. I only remember a few tight squeeze scenes.

you talking about the big guy? I don't think he was bad. I think 'he' was an animal.

Well, you know, the whole movie they were going from one place to other. And I thought the trip was so, so, so common. I've seen that journey a million times. They're mostly going through corridors and some tight squeezes; one drop and one outside walk. Nothing wrong with that, if the characters and story was cookin', but it wasn't for me. I'm glad you liked though.

Decided to peak at RottenTomatoes... 49% critic 60% audience. The critique RT features is: "Underwater's strong cast and stylish direction aren't enough to distract from the strong sense of déjà vu provoked by this claustrophobic thriller's derivative story." Funny he/she writes "distract from the strong sense of déjà vu"... lol... yeah, I had, what you might call déjà vu, but not the good kind.
