A supernatural thriller set on a submarine.

Laura’s Rating: 4/5 Stars

Plot: After a navy submarine rescues survivors from a U-boat attack, unexplained events start happening on board the ship.

Analysis: The movie has an early aughts feel to it despite the events of the story being set in 1943. There’s several actors I recognized that went on to star in other movies and shows: Holt McCallany, Scott Foley, and even Zach Galifianakis. 

Admittedly, viewers must employ some suspension of disbelief to go along with the progression of events. Despite this, I enjoyed the couple of twists. Below definitely feels like a thriller, but there are some heartbreaking scenes that add depth to the film. This movie might feel a little dated to younger viewers, but I really enjoyed it.
