What a beautiful movie!

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Billy Ollie
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

now I'm no expert in directors , producers and all that B.S. no offense that stuff takes memorizing blablabla but i can tell you i am an expert in actors (acting), special effects, plot and all the on screen stuff, that being said . This movie lacks all the above. The actors were horrible , special effects (what special effects?!), plot (i didn't realize this movie had one, it looked like a bunch of unorganized scenes to me) what i don't understand is how this movie ever got to a theater, there should be some sort of comity to prevent us from watching stupid useless movies like "Beneath still waters" . seriously DON'T WATCH THIS MOVIE , not now not ever , not when your bored, nothing else to do, NEVER . You cant say i didn't warn you .

Beneath Still Waters is actually pretty enjoyable. If you enjoyed Brian Yuzna's other movies then it is worth seeing. It has gore, nudity, scuba diving and the occult. Many of the other reviews are complaining about the fact it has some rubbish acting at points, cheap production and ridiculous scenes involving the undead or orgies. This is true - it's a Brian Yuzna movie. You'd think they watched Society, captivated by its satire but completely missing the funny side? Sure, Beneath Still Waters is hardly his best work - after all there are no Octostrumpets in this. But on the upside, (unlike Dagon) you can understand what they guy who reveals the backstory is saying. My only real criticism is that the climax of the movie doesn't quite go far enough: they could probably have given more space for mentalism at the end. It's not a bad movie and will give some satisfaction to people who enjoy the glee of it all, but none to those who think needless toplessness and gore is a bad thing.

The concept for this is total greatness, and pretty much original (it's based on a novel that I'll be looking for in used book stores). Forty years ago a town in Spain was abandoned so that a dam could be built to create a lake. Evil things are happening under the water as the 40th anniversary of the dam's construction approaches. There is evidence that the dam itself is unsafe, but the mayor insists the festivities must go on (I'll be generous and call this a tribute to JAWS and not copying).Good idea. Nice photography on locations in Spain.Limp direction. Uninspired writing. And, worst of all, terrible actors. For some reason it was decided that actors whose native language was Spanish could deliver dialog in English. Oh, no, they couldn't.The story goes from one predictable crisis to another. An warlock returns to the town to take control, only to be sort of thwarted by the granddaughter of the town's former mayor.Meanwhile, down in the town, the celebration is turning into an orgy.The warlock is vanquished. The granddaughter is saved and it looks like things will be all right. Then a little boy the granddaughter was babysitting gets a crazy look and tells her he hates her as strange lights shine on his face, thus setting up a sequel......if anyone should ever want to make a sequel to this. If, however, Michael Bay should ever decide to spend several million bucks remaking this through Platinum Dune's I'll be there for the 7 PM show opening weekend. It's a good story. But telling it takes talent on both sides of the camera, something very much lacking here.

Easily a movie with no redeemable qualities to it. The acting was bad if they were even trying, the story was carbon copy: people stumble into evil and must stop it, and the action and horror was FEW and far between. I honestly could not finish what is with out a doubt the worst movie I have ever seen, I made it to 1 hour 16 minutes and I could not stand any more of it. The previews of it mad me so excited, but the actually movie was a let down. Save your self the time and don't watch it. Everything could have been fine if it chose a side. Horror or Suspense: pick one. The few moment of terror were cool, but they happened only a few times. There was a TON of story build up and character development, perfect for a suspense movie.
