Something Beneath (2007/Genius/RHI DVD)
Picture:
D Sound: C- Extras: D Feature: D
Ok, so a
priest and a hotel event coordinator walk into a sewer and ask, “Why are we
fighting black goo?” It sounds like a
joke because it is one, except the punchline is “Who the hell fronted hundreds
of thousands of dollars to make this movie?” Or maybe Kevin Sorbo is the punchline. Oh wait, he’s the priest.
Essentially
this is a movie with one D-list star, no plot to speak of, a trite and racially
patronizing conclusion, cover art that is only vaguely related to the actual
movie, and the only mercy is that there are no extras on the disc. The picture quality suffers from poorly
transferred video and the Dolby Digital audio is a bit soft in the dialogue recording.
This is a movie you win in a raffle, not
a movie you intentionally pay money for.
