Sorry, we can't find any suggestions at the moment.
In Smithville, Texas, the teenagers Brian, Abby, Travis and Danny are classmates of the Smithville High School and best friends. One day, they are reading Macbeth for a class and they decide to investigate the rumors that the house of the mortician Ely Vaughn is haunted by ghosts. They see shadows in the upper window and they break in the house to see what is happening and they see a corpse lying on the bed; however, they are surprised by Ely that kills Danny, pushing him to fall off the staircase. Nobody believes in the teenagers since Ely is a respectable citizen, but Travis and Abby decide to prove that the undertaker is a psychopath. Will they be successful in their intent?
Leave your thoughts about Beneath the Darkness.
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenDennis Quaid tries to look villainous but he's no Jack Nicholson |
| Newark Star-LedgerStephen WhittyThe screenplay gets nothing out of the claustrophobic terror of being locked up in that narrow grave, and the "mystery" is obvious from the start. |
| Monsters and CriticsRon WilkinsonDennis Quaid is fun to watch as a psychotic, but he leaves the screenplay behind. |
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovBeneath the Darkness has nada on Don Coscarelli's epic "Phantasm" saga or, for that matter, Norman Bates' clear-eyed if psychotic shenanigans. It's strictly a guilty pleasure. |
| Dread CentralHeather WixsonSteer clear of Beneath the Darkness if you've grown tired of the paint-by-number thrillers that seem to be plaguing the genre lately |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...a pervasively underwhelming thriller that wears out its welcome almost immediately. |
| Los Angeles TimesMark OlsenYet that deeply strange and agitated performance by Quaid is the only thing that makes the film remotely bearable. |
| ObserverRex ReedYou anticipate every scene before it happens and figure out every secret before it's revealed. |
| Village VoiceTim GriersonUnfortunately for Quaid, director Martin Guigui's pathetic thriller doesn't even have the pulse-pounding excitement of a second-tier Scooby-Doo mystery. |
| New York PostLou LumenickIt's sad to see Quaid in sloppily directed (by Martin Guigui) dreck like Beneath the Darkness less than a decade after the performance of his career as a closeted married man in "Far From Heaven.'' |
