This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I decided to watch this movie based on its description. It seemed like an interesting movie. Digging into your past is usually a good thing, so why not? The ambiance of this movie is good enough. Lighting is good, even in dark scenes. Colors really set the mood in this one. Sound was also good, as well as the music to set the mood. The acting was great and quite believable.The storyline was also good. You have a woman who goes home to the location of a horrible car accident that has traumatized her in order to make sense of life. They did a good job letting the audience get to know the main character, as well as other main characters. The flaw in the storyline is there is no explanation for her supernatural ability to see what her sister has seen. I wish they would've explained that in more detail.This movie did not trigger a lot of emotion for me but it was entertaining nonetheless. I felt bad for the main character and especially for her burned up sister. If you have time after an evening of PvP'ing in World of Warcraft, pop in this video and enjoy!!

Not bad. Not bad at all. I must admit, an original little film, with original little story. Not a big film, but very good job at this budget. You just have to watch this film. It is pretty scary on some moments, It has a fine atmosphere, claustrophobic looks, and some strange dark colors... There's nothing special to talk about this film, it's just OK! Nora Zehetner was good in this film, and other actors did a great job. Camera is good, script is OK, make up - excellent! Ending - wow!The very beginning of the film is very interesting, it shows you the story. You feel the guilt and the hate towards the leading character, the sadness and strangeness also. But, Christy (Nora Zehetner) has gone too deep in the dark secret. And now, she must discover - what is really happening here. I recommend this! Watch it!

i had really low expectation going in.mainly because of the words MTV films appearing on the screen was surprised at how well done this psychological suspense thriller was.i found it very atmospheric,and suspenseful.there weren't a lot of cheap scares.it was intelligent,and well written,in my opinion.the ending was unexpected.i was also very impressed with the acting.Nora Zehetner as Christy was very good,but Matthew Settle as John really impressed.basically,my opinion of MTV films went up several notches after this film was over.i don't get the low rating(5.3/10).but that's just my opinion.for me,Beneath is a well deserved 8/10

Christy watches as her sister is badly burned in a car explosion due to a crash with which she was driving. Told that she was dead, Christy believed that she was still alive. Sent away to a mental hospital, Christy is said to have a Borderline Personality Disorder, and this affects her job later as a 20 year old intern(Nora Zehetner). Finding out that an old friend passed away, Christy returns and decides to pursue whether or not her sister Vanessa(Carly Pope)died from heart failure due to trauma, or by malicious intent. Her sister's husband John(Matthew Settle)wishes her to leave as soon as possible and his daughter Amy(Jessica Amlee)speaks of a thing which comes from the closet to haunt her at night, hoping to catch it on her digital camera. When those close to Vanessa either wind up dead(..like John's mother, portrayed by Gabrielle Rose)or harmed(Amy and John), Christy, against the advice of those around her who resist her notions of a sister who was buried alive, will hopefully shed some light on obvious secrets which have remained hidden just like a crawlspace in the Locke house leading to several areas. An important sub-plot is Christy's uncanny ability to see people's faces and certain acts from the past and future for which she artistically renders to paper. Also important is the location of a mysterious medical assistant to John, Claire(Eliza Norbury)who was with him when Vanessa supposedly died.More or less a mystery with pretty, cat-eyed Zehetner, quite subtle and never really over-dramatic despite the struggles and hurdles she contacts during her search for the truth. If some character, particularly John, is rather aggressive and angry towards her wishing for her to leave, Christy(..through Zehetner) doesn't overreact or throw tantrums about being mistreated. A constant feeling of others wishing for her to just leave the town is ever-present and when she questions anything about Vanessa's death, barriers are thrown up. But, you just know that Christy will forge ahead despite signs of danger, and find the truth. While it's easy to see who the culprit might be regarding the mystery's answer, I found a critical twist regarding Vanessa's true fate rather hard to swallow. The film contains a house with a crawlspace that is very important as a travel source for both escape and directly leading to rooms..it's a plot device used well. You often see Christy attending funerals, too. The twist might work for some..who the monster is that is supposedly terrorizing Amy and behind the attack of John, but I found it a bit hard to take. Beautiful location work, attractive production values, and rather decent acting, but the overall film never really gripped me. And, that ending(..what happens when Christy discovers the real truth about Vanessa)left me cold and indifferent.
