Highly underseen Submarine Thriller. Written by Darren Aronofsky (Requiem For a Dream/Pi) and directed by David Twohy (Pitch Black- writer Fugitive)

An inventive film that delivers a nice little yarn with some memorable dialogue and subtle chills. Not really a horror film just treads lightly into the supernatural with a down to earth approach and a nicely understated finale.

The acting too is good fun, though some of the leads lay it on a bit thick. Some fabulous camera choices, dark cinematograhy that operates in the shadows and immersive sound design all make this a claustrophobic film that keeps the heart going.

Sure its not perfect but when compared to most modern sub dramas (U-571(5/10), K:19(6/10) & CRIMSON TIDE(6/10)) this one blows em out of the water.

Indulge in a thriller that treats the audience with intelligence and delivers good escapist entertainment, albeit with a few problems.
