Sometimes you have to wonder how someone as talented as Dennis Quaid ends up in films as bad as "Beneath the Darkness". And you know it is bad when his hammy performance is the best thing about it. It's a horror film that lacks all tension, and most of that is through the underwhelming performances of the young cast. Bruce Wilkinson's script is transparent, telegraphing every major plot turn scenes before you see it happen. The dialogue fumbles out the cast's mouths, and they hit every horror movie cliche with each bland sentence uttered. There really isn't anything redeeming about this film, and I would suggest staying as far away form this film possible, despite Quaid's name above the title .
