Underground Audience Reviews

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Micransix Crappy film
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
regkeane The acting in this is dreadful. The story is a big cliché. Nothing new or original. The actor playing Storm Johnson is by far the worst. He starts the film with a Stetson (cowboy hat) (Who goes to a rave in a Stetson? Cringy.) and his acting is way over the top. I'm guessing he went way over the top because he didn't feel comfortable in the role. A person of Arabic ethnicity playing a cowboy? I just counldn't get comfortable with that. They should have picked someone with the right ethnicity or changed the role to suite him. I'm guessing pc had some part in casting for this movie. Also the way over the top macho behavior is really offputing too. Again cringy. I am aware it is a B movie and the actors aren't going to be brilliant but it is hard to like a film where the actors are so bad in so many ways.
pantagruella Eight young people flee from trouble at a disco and get stuck in an old military bunker hiding an abandoned black project. This film delivers according to the parameters of the synopsis.There is some military experience amongst the trapped folk, some sanity, some reasoning. There are some good words in the script too.The middle section is fast and furious when bad things turn up. As another reviewer mentioned the mood of very serious. You wouldn't bet on anyone making it out alive.I can't find fault with any aspect of the film. They could easily rework this to be part of a sequel to Mad Max: Fury Road.The moral of this story is that bad people perform bad experiments and it's not very nice to clean all that up.
mecheart I went into this one completely blind - without viewing the trailer or reading a synopsis; that was a good thing. The first few scenes cry "Facility Shooter" with depictions of a heavily armed military squad entering an underground structure to engage some kind of genetic experiment gone haywire. When done properly - as in this film - a true fan of science fiction/horror requires little more to wet his appetite. We fast forward a couple of years and the script introduces us to a pair of Marine Corps buddies just back from a combat tour, a lifelong buddy of one of them and, two girls he apparently grew up with. The final of the main characters is also a Marine - I presume. She is introduced as a doctor the Caucasian Marine met while in theater. Just after the friends' reunion at a crowded rave held on an old military base is completed, one of the Marines gets into a brawl with a gangbanger, swiftly incapacitates his foe and wins the wrath of the rest of the banger's crew. I enjoyed this scene as, it is far too often in horror or thriller genre films these days that male leads and supporting protagonists are portrayed as wimps. The two Marine buddies put up an impressive fight against multiple gang members until the bad guys rally their numbers and pull out the guns. Our party of heroes and supporting cast make a run for it and manage to shut out their pursuers on the other side of a steel door, but at the cost of finding themselves locked in and trapped deeper inside the facility. Yes, it is the same facility from the beginning of the movie, and thus begins the horror and campy sci-fi as the premise runs its course. As a rabid horror and science fiction fan, I thoroughly enjoy the concept of forgotten or decommissioned unconventional military weaponry locked away in some claustrophobic underground bunker just waiting for a trespassing civilian to unleash. Hence the premise of 'Underground' and in my opinion, a premise rich with possibility. As the aforementioned premise is explored by the quite capable cinematography, script and acting, we get to know our characters and I for one, began to care about them even though a few of them are immediately snatched away from us. The story unfolding as I had expected, I really began to wish these two Marines had decided on different way, or rather place, to celebrate their return from the war. Once again, if you are a fan of the combination of horror, science fiction and thriller with some action added for spice, you will definitely appreciate where 'Underground' is coming from and where it takes you. As do many other films of the genre, 'Underground' asks you "What if?" "What if you unexpectedly found yourself trapped a few stories below ground, pursued by a lethal opposing force?" "What would you do different?" I love it. Opens the mind and makes one think and experience fear right along with the characters on screen. Some have complained about the lighting in this film. I suspect they must have watched bad internet versions, as the lighting on the Blue Ray is just adequate enough to thoroughly reveal the goings on - start to finish. Special effects are great. A minimum of GGI was used, thus younger viewers may not appreciate the skill of the effects crew as much as one such as myself who grew up before the computer generated film effects revolution. Overall, 'Underground' is a highly entertaining entry in the horror and science fiction hybrid genre. It is a film that will most appeal to serious fans of said genre, but should be well enough received by most any horror fan. I wholeheartedly recommend this film and subtract two stars only for the use of young people in yet another desperate survival situation. However, I give one star back for the inclusion of combat veterans as the two main characters, and the obvious use of an effective military adviser by the writer/director. If you get a chance check this one out.
spotlightne It's your usual 'young people get trapped (this time underground) and have to fight for their lives against mutants' movie.It's all very much in the Wrong Turn vein. You know, the cast are good looking. There are lots of pretty, short-skirted females screaming the place down. The guys run around all tough and are, funnily enough, the easiest slain.But underground it's dark, and thus we're often faced with a too dark picture. Half the time I couldn't see what was going on.The ending couldn't have come quick enough as I was becoming increasingly bored with this movie. It's 'b' rated stuff, nothing special.4/10.
