Below - 2002 USA d: David Twohy
I recorded this out of idle curiosity as it is rare enough that BBC1 screen a horror film at all, never mind mid-week! I had never even heard of the film, David Twohy had slipped from my sonar after Pitch Black (which was OK for what it was, but I really cannot bear Vin Diesel).
Below was a considerable surprise. I really liked it and its tale of a vengeful haunting on a WWII submarine (possibly the most spacious submarine ever!). It builds suspense well and has a great cast (devoid of A-listers) who do really well. There are a fair few British actors here (Jason Flemyng, Dexter Fletcher...) and they seem particularly to shine, especially Olivia Williams as the sole female presence on the boat.
