Pretty decent ghosts on a sub flick. Very much a slow burner as the thrills and chills are pretty random (pull curtain back, nothing there, random voice, things like that). More of a mystery/ghost story than a horror flick where most of the tension is brought on by being in a sub during WWII. Think of it as "The Others" underwater.

Hard to believe Aronofsky had a part in writing this.. lol @ Galifianakis trying to act in anything other than a comedy too

This film shouldn't be so widely described as sci-fi, considering how much work they put into ambiguity, and how the medium of film makes that impossible. It's a decent film, though slowly paced, but with so many intense sub thrillers in existence already it's hard to be impressed. The editing seems slightly off, including shots that appear purposeless beyond being artful, and parts that desperately need clarity done in montage instead. The good cast and premise were done few favors.

it's not half bad, could have had a complete plot overhaul and the ending was better left clipped, but it pulled out a couple supernatural elements here and there that, had they been nurtured would have made a real winner.

I have a soft spot for submarine movies so probably scored this higher than it deserves. Still, it's a tense and well-made thriller with some spooky elements thrown in. You'll forget everything about it 10 minutes after it ends but it entertains while it lasts.

The all-time b-movie cast. Everyone is someone you'll recognize but might not be able to name. Decent movie scripted by Aronofsky who is a modern man of wonder.

Ambitious little horror flick. Finds a way to work in clichéd horror film tricks by weaving it in with the claustrophobic atmosphere of the sub. Cast is likable and hard working.

Decently suspenseful. Gets by fine without the use of a lot of big scares.

- highly recommended :: I thought the atmosphere was great. The depth charge scene had a really great (and original) moment. There was a scene with a mirror that was great. And the speculation from "Weird Wally" about the cause of the malediction was better than great. ...but I think that most of the rest of the movie was just good.

Pretty cool, actually. Bends traditional sub movie conventions.

Decent enough but there's next to no scares, the plot is stupid and everything takes too long to happen so by the time something actually DOES happen there's only about ten minutes left of the film (that actually count at least).

kinda spooky

The true title should be "The Haunted Submarine." Ridiculous tripe with sub-par acting and terribly unremarkable directing.

I rather liked it. A tight, claustrophobic little surprise of a movie.
