In the dark silence of the sea during World War II, the submarine USS Tiger Shark prowls on what should be a routine rescue mission. But for the shell-shocked crew, trapped together in the sub's narrow corridors and constricted spaces, this is about to become a journey into the sensory delusions, mental deceptions and runaway fears that lurk just below the surface of the ocean.

Notes

My quick rating - 6,4/10. A quick read of the synopsis and I don't think I have ever heard of this one. And judging by a 40 million dollar budget not even scraping back 3 million, I would say their PR department dropped the ball. Time to check it out. And what a huge miss they had since this is a good and scary flick. For starters, they were able to cast a group of people that not only act well but interact in a way where you actually give a crap about what happens to them. So the story is a bit similar and I'll come back to that. in 1943 a submarine picks up 3 survivors at sea from an incident that sank their boat. Immediately strange occurrences begin happening on the sub. When one of the survivors turns out to be a German, the anxiety escalates along with the crew. But what starts as just distrust begins to turn possibly supernatural and does so in a subtle yet very effective way. The effects and use of miniatures look really good and completely believable. The buildup is done and a really nice pace to keep the tension mounting without overdoing the jumps or dulling you with boredom. Very much a missed flick that I had no idea happened to be made by David Twohy who isn't exactly a household name but was the writer/director of Pitch Black which I am a huge fan of. Again, this flick shows he has a great eye for detail, this time underwater instead of on a barren desert planet. A great part about this story is how they allude to the supernatural without ever allowing you to know if that is the case or not. And when you do get an idea of a possible scenario that is going on, and it happens to be an episode of The Twilight Zone you saw years ago, the crew members tell that exact storyline to throw you off. I have no idea how I let this one go for 20 years without seeing it but I am very glad it did pop up finally. A very well-made movie that was pretty close to being great if the story just had gelled a bit better overall. I am still hoping that Furya ends up happening.
