WW: What about Beneath? It looks like a horror film that’s a cross between Hitchcock’s Lifeboat and Piranha.
Jonny Orsini: It’s coming out in July, but it’s not just a horror movie. Larry Fessenden is an environmentalist, so he makes these allegories, and the theme is often what happens when man messes with nature and nature comes right back.

How Larry Fessenden’s Chiller-Produced Shocker ‘Beneath’ Wrestles With the Made-For-TV Formula

A creepy old man whose presence bookends the drama, played by Mark Margolis, lends a dreamlike quality to the narrative that elevates its plot to an abstract level. With its reliance on ambiguity and mood, “Beneath” applies lo-fi aesthetics to an eerie, isolated chamber drama akin to Fessdenen’s last creepy outing,   Continue Reading »
