Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

At the beginning of the movie it says "In 2013, a collapse at Bracket Coal mine left a group of workers trapped nearly six hundred feet underground". A. There is no such mine and B. There was no collapse. and C. There has never been an event involving miners with monsters or "The Nineteen" 100-year-old ghosts! So I don't know how the Producers of this IFC movie got away with being able to use the words "Inspired on True Events" my rear! Normally in movies that are "Inspired on True Events" there is a prologue explaining what really happened. I have checked google and there is no mention of any mining event that resulted in only one survivor so this is not a movie that is "Inspired on True Events" and this privilege should be removed!

PLEASE DO NOT CONTINUE READING IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THIS MOVIE YET!!!Okay, first things first, I don't know what movie everyone else saw but, what was up with the crazy girl? In the end, she's the ONLY CHARACTER in the movie that does any killing that we actually see. Yes, it does show a couple of the other characters "lose it" in some fashion but she's the only one we see consistently with a rock in the hand and some brain bashing as her conclusion to duress. Was it all in her head? I mean, what she sees in her own reflection in the end, wasn't what she really looked like. So, again, was it all in HER head?I liked the movie okay. Not a bad movie at all. But in the end, the real killer seemed to be her and nobody else.

Growing up in Nova Scotia, I heard a lot of stories about the coal mines in Cape Breton although they'd been closed by then. Workers often died in gruesome ways or were buried alive. Coal mines are eerie enough on their own, but then you get horror films involved with them? Now that's scary! Take My Bloody Valentine (1981) for instance, it was filmed in a real coal mine. One of the miners went crazy and ate the other workers trapped with him.Beneath takes it to an extreme. A group of coal miners are trapped when the mine collapses, and they're slowly running out of oxygen. Toxic gasses are seeping in, leaving the workers slowly going mad and wondering if they can save their air by killing the others.This was pretty amazing for an independent film, I wish it wasn't so hard to find a copy though. The plot was pretty creepy, it reminded me of a news story a few years back with a collapsed mine; workers dug 'round-the-clock to rescue the miners trapped underground. The soundtrack was a little weird but still was decent, the acting was good and I don't think it was filmed in a real coal mine but it was still highly realistic. With pointless movies that aren't very good at all getting more popular just because they are made by large companies, it was nice to see a decent independent film with a good story.

Great horror thriller that keeps you guessing. The characters are likable and believable, and the horrific element is handled in an intelligently restrained way. There's a great element of mystery in the film's sequence of events, and you're never quite sure if things are what they seem.The mining locations feel authentic, and the natural horror of being trapped underground adds to the scares. Special FX are handled well, but kept to a minimum, which is perfect for a film like this. The scares really come from the situation, the suspense, and the dynamics between the characters.
