The opening shot of “Underwater” roves around the empty, industrial passageways of some kind of transport vessel, the walls creaking. Motivated by an unknown force, the camera’s pan ultimately lands on Norah (Kristen Stewart), who has cropped bleached hair and a mouthful of toothpaste, clad in her skivvies. Immediately the audience recognizes this will be […]

The first creature feature of the new decade is here, and boy is it dumb.

The film doesn’t put in the effort to reach for the heights of Alien or plant its tongue firmly in cheek a la Deep Blue Sea.

In 'Underwater,' Kristen Stewart is just another action hero, learning the hard way that under the sea, as in space, no one can hear you scream.

The inky depths are home to some peculiar entities: sunken wrecks, those fish with lanterns on their heads and now ‘Underwater’, a watery horror movie that seem

Kristen Stewart and Vincent Cassel headline this derivative but effective ’blast of monster mayhem’

A deep-water drill station explodes and the survivors, led by tough cookie Kristen Stewart, have to make it across miles of sea floor and past fanged beasties to safety.

"Underwater" is a fun throwback to a time when all you needed to make a movie was a girl, a sinking sea lab, and some very gnarly monsters.

Will Eubank trades in the cramped, outmoded U.S. Air Force base that played home to extraterrestrial biological entities in his previous film, The Signal, for an underwater research lab imagineered in a style that evokes a crumbling ‘80s health club. There’s nothing alien about this plot: a subterranean tremor does irreparable structural damage to the facility. And no sooner does the ocean rebel against the corporate-financed mission than it’s up to our six surviving occupants to improvise an escape route, unexpectedly lined with Dolby-flexing sea monsters. What once would have been classified a B-movie boasts an A-list performance by Kristen Stewart, surpassed only by cinematographer Bojan Bazelli’s buoyant ascent through a torrent of flickering sludge. Providing the occasional unintentional laughs are T.J. Miller’s growingly annoying variation on a waterlogged Jeff Spicoli and a mumbling, decidedly undecided Jessica Henwick who, not knowing whether to laugh, cry, or shriek, will on occasion do all three. There’s no better feeling than starting the New Year right with an affectionate, action-packed genre picture.

Lean and mean, Underwater is the kind of no-nonsense B-movie with an A-list cast that Hollywood used to make more often.

"Underwater" is "Alien" at the bottom of the Deep Blue Sea. That much you can tell from the movie's commercials and trailers. But it's also "Alien" with laughs. That doesn't really come across in the advertising, despite the presence of Deadpool's amusing Father Confessor -- T.J. Miller. So as we're yanked through what a deep…

Director William Eubank has directed an intelligent, moody undersea thriller with a striking sense of place.

Willam Eubank’s feeble, water-logged action caper sees undersea ghouls terrorise Kristen Stewart on a deep sea mining station.
