Product Description

Beneath the Darkness is a teen thriller in the style of Disturbia, with high school kids pitted against a psychotic villain in a community where adults refuse to see one of their own is a serial killer. The villain (Dennis Quaid) is a well-respected mortician in a town where he was once a legendary high school football star. But among the kids he is legendary for a more sinister reason - rumors that his house is haunted. The truth is more evil and much more dangerous – the town leader murdered his wife and her lover when he caught them having an affair, and now has secretly set up house with his wife’s embalmed corpse. The local hero is a flesh-and-blood monster who buries his victims alive, a sociopath who befriends adults and police while openly flaunting his murderous intentions to the teens. He will kill anyone who threatens to expose him or his now-perfect marriage.

I was expecting a heart racing thriller but this movie is not that. The acting from the teens at times is really cheesy and the pacing of the movie is really slow! I was expecting so much more because I’ve seen these actors in other works, but it just fell flat for me.Update: the movie gets better half way through!!! The pace pics up and the acting isn’t as bad lol. I’ll bump it up to 3 stars.

Great story line, but there were lots of times I wanted the characters to do something they had the opportunity to do and didn't do - you know the old "if that was me I would.... ". Never though of Dennis Quaid as crazy before but he definitely rose to the occasion.

4.0 out of 5 stars Average Movie, Awesome Quaid
Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2014

I thought this was a decent horror thriller made very interesting by the excellent Dennis Quaid. Don't know if you've noticed, but horror movies are for the most part a backwater of the industry. It's a great place for directors and actors to get a little exposure, and quite a few of our A-listers have started there. Every once in a while you'll get a vehicle that really gets some Hollywood money and stars--13 ghosts, Flatliners, Poltergeist, series like Saw and Scream...but for the most part horror is indie horror.
For a while back there in the 80s, Dennis Quaid was sort of an A lister, and then, for reasons I don't understand, America fell very much out of love with him. That's a shame but also a blessing, because in the world of horror and sci-fi, out of range of most people's radar, he's doing some of his best work. Here he portrays a man who's juuuuuuuuuuuust teetering on the edge. And he makes e-cigarettes look genuinely scary.
I thought the acting from the rest of the cast was pretty good, but where this movie really falls down is plotting. It hinges too much on the main characters and the police making dumb, dumb choices. That's okay for your tongue-in-cheek slasher movie, but if you want it to be taken as seriously as the tone of this movie suggests, you really have to think it out a little better.

The recommendations list gave me 3 in a row that were 'action' so I trusted that 'horror' wasn't really horror and I was right. I enjoyed this drama because it had lives in danger and some shooting. I prefer 16:9 and 5.1 and this was neither but very entertaining. Don't watch it alone unless you are used to weird TV.

This movie is the worst. My wife and I are big Quaid fans, but he just wasn't enough to make this movie watchable.

The troupe of young actors were all seemingly straight out of some acting certificate program. Either that, or they were just poorly directed.

We wondered and kept wondering "how on EARTH did this movie get made!" A little Internet research, and you find that the writer put up 5 million of the 7 million budget. It played in 9 theaters for 3 days and made just over $9,000.

Ouch.

I can think of 5 million better things to spend 5 million dollars on. Like you know those vending machines with the toys in them.......

Seriously. It's REALLY bad.

Denis Quaid plays a loony Sociopath who is a serial killer. The kids in the film, if they are not killed, expose him, I think. Did the sheriff in this film get the full scope?
The serial killer killed his wife's lover long before the kids came along. BTW the serial killer is also the towns mortician, so how many people has he really killed; now this would have been much more interesting in the script.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, kind of Lifetime/after school special level film
Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2022

Beneath the Darkness (2011), an American thriller. Vaughn Ely (Dennis Quaid) is a former high school football star, now mortician of the small town of Smithville, Texas by day and psychopath by night. Four high school friends, Travis, Danny, Brian, and his girlfriend Abby (Tony Oller, Devon Werkheiser, Stephen Ford, and Aimee Teegarden) discover Bad Things in Vaughn's home while snooping for no good reason and one of them is killed. After that it is a battle of wills then like a battle battle as the three survivors try to prove to a disbelieving sheriff and parents that Vaughn murdered their friend (rather than dying in an accident in Vaughn's home) and also prove another Bad Thing and Vaughn tries to stop them.

It feels like an afterschool special type film or maybe something filmed for LIfetime, not bad production values but not great either. There are a few tense scenes, some low-level scares, Dennis Quaid is at times kind of over the top evil and one time actually breaks the fourth wall but everyone else plays it kind of seriously to very seriously. Aimee Teegarden as Abby did a good job especially among the rest of the cast, though some of the secondary cast weren't good actors. One in particular was kind of terrible.

Dennis Quaid is the best part of the film. I see some people call the movie a black comedy and his scenes were, though the rest of the film definitely plays it straight. He came off at times like he was in a different movie, as scenes without him are written and played with such earnestness. A few of his lines were actually kind of funny.

There is a plot thread with Travis who as a kid maybe saw a ghost (shown in a flashback) and later decides he understands some Big Thing when I guess he thinks back to it. I absolutely did not understand any of this, either what it had to do with the rest of the film or just in general.

Wikipedia says Smithville, Texas is a real place and the movie was filmed there in 20 days.

| KEIN SPOILER | "Inside the Darkness" ist wohl eher kein filmischer Mega-Kracher, aber ich fand die Geschichte dennoch interessant genug, es mal zu versuchen. Insgesamt haben die Darstellern allesamt auch gut gespielt. Gekauft habe ich ihn, weil ich die Idee, Dennis Quaid mal in einer "bösen" Rolle zu sehen, spannend fand. Und da bin ich auch nicht enttäuscht worden. Ich hatte einen netten Filmabend und werde "Inside the Darkness" auch sicher noch öfter anschauen.
