1.0 out of 5 stars Laughably bad - Danger Will Robinson!!!, August 27, 2005
This review is from: The Thing Below (DVD)
Can I give less than one star? LOL Oh man, this may be the worst off-the-shelf (OTS) horror video ever made. From the lame costumes (they can't even get U.S. Navy uniforms right!), to the cookie-cutter dialog and characters, to the absolutely atrocious CGI (check out the digital octopus attack scene in the first 10 minutes - it is hysterical), this one is definately going in the "Worst Of" Hall of Shame, if I can just find a Hall of Shame what will accept it. It was so bad I was laughing up until the first 15 minutes were up, then I just couldn't take any more. Trust me, I try very hard to find GOOD OTS horror flicks (see my Listmania list for ones I'd recommend), and sometimes I just have to eat the rental cost and suffer through the bad ones... oh well, perhaps this review will save you the same pain (don't let the admittedly intriguing DVD cover art fool you).

Just by way of background, and while other reviewers seems to prefer to reveal much of the story and plot, I think that sort of ruins the film in many cases. So, you'll want to look for other reviews and reviewers if that is what you are looking for...

1.0 out of 5 stars Worse than I expected, May 9, 2006
This review is from: The Thing Below (DVD)
I like "creature" flicks - even the bad ones - so had high hopes this movie would be at least entertaining. It wasn't. Much of the movie makes no sense (the creature can read minds and yet apparently can't?) and the rest of it was just a jumble of weird bizarre images that didn't gel. Do yourself a favor - watch Lake Placid and pass on this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars BEWARE, October 10, 2005
By H. A Huffman "haumf" (Mt. Prospect, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Thing Below (DVD)
Amazon is offering this film along with "The Off Season" in a package deal. SKIP THEM BOTH!

This is really bad simply because it is not a really honest attempt to create a decent horror film. This is as bad as those awful "Brain Damage" films.

yuck.

1.0 out of 5 stars The worst movie I have ever seen . . .

1.0 out of 5 stars Really Bad-but fun to laugh at
This movie is really bad - so bad it descends into the "have fun while laughing at it" type - which is what we did.

The storyline has some promise. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible movie
I am with everyone else. This movie is awful. There were a lot of scenes in that were very unnecessary. Like the porno star strip dance. There was a Wild West scene. Read more
