Lacks any bite whatsoever...

This is a bad shark movie, so I went in expecting it to be poorly acted, with a really dumb story, and for it to be cheap looking. But much to my surprise this has decent acting, an okay story, and it doesn't look too cheap. But the most important part is the sharks, and in this genre I feel it is very important that the atmosphere should either be scary or goofy. This is neither, your grandma wouldn't be scared and the effects and kills barely register. Meanwhile the characters are nothings and the story is blah.This completely washed over me without leaving the faintest trace of an impact. I had already forgotten 95% just mere hours later. The worst kind of crappy shark movie: a non-entity.

Watchable, but generic...

Needless to say that of course I had to watch the 2025 movie "Fear Below", as there is just something very alluring to me about shark movies. Sure, a great number of the shark movies out there are questionable affairs to be sure, but every now and again there is gold to be found. And without even knowing what I was in for here, as I hadn't heard about "Fear Below" prior to watching it, then maybe director Matthew Holmes was holding a cache of gold here.Writers Matthew Holmes and Gregory Moss put together a pretty straightforward script and storyline, though it was a bit generic. But ultimately it was an adequate enough storyline. However, the movie didn't really have a lot of actual scenes with the shark, which was sort of disappointing. So you're more in for a crime thriller here, than you are a shark movie.I was not familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list. But then again, I am not overly familiar with the Australian cinema. The acting performances in "Fear Below" were certainly good. I do enjoy watching unfamiliar and new talents on the screen whenever I sit down to watch a movie, so that was something that spoke well in favor of the movie.If you enjoy shark movies, then perhaps give "Fear Below" a chance. Just keep in mind that there isn't a whole lot of actual shark action throughout the course of the 85 minutes that the movie ran for."Fear Below" is hardly a movie that warrants more than a single viewing.My rating of director Matthew Holmes's 2025 movie "Fear Below" lands on a five out of ten stars.

A snappy, bitesize surprise

It's an unfortunate truth that my expectations are automatically set very low when it comes to new shark movies, despite being a huge fan of the genre.It gives me great pleasure to say that Fear Below is one of the better movies we've got in the last few years. Fear Below understands that a Bull Shark is scary enough just being a Bull Shark. This is where most shark movies go off the rails and the filmmakers decide to add in Kaiju-esque elements, Roaring sharks, or rubbish CGI. A rubber fin gliding through the water is sometimes enough to send a shiver down the spine.The story is a little out there, but the actors do their jobs well for the most part and I did root for the divers, as opposed to the last 4 or 5 releases I saw where I just prayed the Shark would tear everyone on screen apart to put me out of my misery.If it wasn't for the imminent release for Dangerous Animals which I have high hopes for, I would say 2025 has it's best shark movie already.
