    Pretty average supernatural thriller set around an abandoned village in the Spanish countryside, which was flooded 40 years ago in an effort to contain the evil forces at work within.

    There are some okay effects here and there, but it never really grabbed me completely, thus the...( read more) middling score.

    Beneath Still Waters sets the tone for the kind of nonsense & weirdness that you must avoid because is definitely a film that doesn't make to much sense.Brian Yuzna haven't been coming with good films in the last couple of years & this one is no exception.

    Beginning was scary... after that, it goes downhill. Poorly written script, horrible acting and the special effects, well, let's just say I've seen scarier creatures at my local grocery store.

    Odd movie...plot was okay but certain things that happen made me think "what the hell was the writer of this movie thinkin?"

    I don't really know what to say about this film. It didn't make a whole lot of sense, the acting was pretty lame, and there was this orgy scene with the townspeople, cake, goats...just a pointlessly made film.

    Should've been in spanish w/ subtitles since the cast is from Spain not sure if it was bad dubbing or this cast is trying to talk english sound terrible.The movie is so stupid,bad acting & dialogue.Few descent gory scenes & some cheesy too.The villian looks like Tallman from Phantasm but is a film so mix up from weirdos,zombies & all sort of crazy things.Brian Yuzna(Re-animator)him & some others have a Spanish production company which has produced a number of B-rated straight-to-DVD horror flicks like Rottweiler another bad flick so far, haven't seen anything good if Dagon came from that company not as bad but still not so good.
