Director Larry Fessenden&#8217;s nice use of limited resources and superlative, artful evocation of mood are in the end no match for a screenplay that mistakes and substitutes volume for well staked-out, compelling interpersonal disagreement.<\/p>\n<p>The story&#8217;s familiar set-up finds a group of a half dozen teenage friends celebrating their recent high school graduation before they all head their separate ways. Johnny (Daniel Zovatto) is still crushing on ex-flame Kitty (Bonnie Dennison), who&#8217;s now dating Matt (Chris Conroy) but may have also recently hooked up with Matt&#8217;s younger brother, Simon (Jonny Orsini). Also along for the ride are Deb (Mackenzie Rosman) and Zeke (Griffin Newman), the latter of whom is the obligatory would-be\/future filmmaker who incessantly films his pals. (Though &#8220;Beneath&#8221; isn&#8217;t explicitly a found-footage flick, it does incorporate some material from the point-of-view of Zeke&#8217;s camera.)<\/p>\n<p>Johnny halfheartedly leads his friends out across a lake, even after a friend of his grandfather, Mr. Parks (Mark Margolis, of &#8220;Breaking Bad&#8221;), ominously lectures him about respect for their environment. When some of the group jumps in the water for a relaxing swim, it attracts the attention of a large, rather gnarly underwater predator who seems disinclined to leave them alone. A couple lost oars and a sprung leak later, these so-called friends start to turn on one another.<\/p>\n<p>If the material had a bit more spin, &#8220;Beneath&#8221; might have the capacity to evolve into something interesting. But the script, by Tony Daniel and Brian Smith, doesn&#8217;t think much at all of its female characters, and the points of friction between the characters and indeed most all of the dialogue trend toward the stupid (&#8220;I will not let that thing control us!&#8221; screams one guy after the killer fish has already been manifestly controlling their behavior for a while). Additionally, the acting just isn&#8217;t that strong; if the characters are flatly written to begin with, the actors almost all opt for one-note agitation that leaves the movie with little room to naturally escalate in tension.<\/p>\n<p>The saving grace of &#8220;Beneath&#8221; is its technical package. Fessenden (&#8220;Wendigo,&#8221; &#8220;The Last Winter&#8221;) does genre with great style and feeling, so the film&#8217;s first act has a woozy hold, no matter the narrative familiarity. Filmed on location in Naugatuck State Forest in Connecticut, Fessenden and cinematographer Gordon Arkenberg make great, smart use of creative framing and a couple aerial shots to convey spatial isolation, the relative speed of the fish and the overall desperation of the teens&#8217; plight. The creature effects, by Fractured FX, are also good, considering the film&#8217;s budget.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, &#8220;Beneath&#8221; still slots perhaps a notch higher than a lot of similarly-minded SyFy Channel fare, but its utter lack of any deepening intrigue marks its last hour a wearying slog, full of only lots of yelling and splashing about. Viewers will be rooting for some sort, any sort of twist, in concert with the fish.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> In addition to its theatrical engagements on July 16 and 17, &#8220;Beneath&#8221; is also available across a variety of VOD platforms.
