Rincón de cine
Laura Hiros
... the film leave much to be desired. [Full review in Spanish]
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...a pervasively underwhelming thriller that wears out its welcome almost immediately.
Dread Central
Heather Wixson
Steer clear of Beneath the Darkness if you've grown tired of the paint-by-number thrillers that seem to be plaguing the genre lately
Film.com
William Goss
A bore sprinkled with hints of hilarity, soon to be buried like so many of its characters.
Observer
Rex Reed
You anticipate every scene before it happens and figure out every secret before it's revealed.
Monsters and Critics
Ron Wilkinson
Dennis Quaid is fun to watch as a psychotic, but he leaves the screenplay behind.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
Dennis Quaid goes Psycho in dull Texas-set thriller.
Film Journal International
David Noh
The best way to consider this wayward mess is as an unintentional genre spoof.
Los Angeles Times
Mark Olsen
At times it seems the simple ineptitude of "Beneath the Darkness" surely must mask some undercurrent of deeper sophistication and intention on behalf of the filmmakers. Alas, as it turns out, such things never surface.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
When it comes to creepy old buildings, overly attentive owners, and prying outsiders, Beneath the Darkness has nada on Don Coscarelli's epic Phantasm saga or, for that matter, Norman Bates' clear-eyed if psychotic shenanigans.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Even Dennis Quaid's uncharacteristic hamming as a mad mortician in a small Texas town can't save this silly, scare-free horror film...
amNewYork
Robert Levin
This mediocre movie should have bypassed theaters and gone straight to Netflix.
Variety
John Anderson
A malformed, would-be horror shocker with a deliriously deranged performance by Dennis Quaid, who unfortunately seems to be the only one onboard who thinks he's in a comedy.
New York Times
Neil Genzlinger
Someone involved with "Beneath the Darkness" has either watched too many horror movies or not enough.
ComingSoon.net
Edward Douglas
Bruce Wilkinson, the film's late writer and executive producer, is more than likely turning in his own grave.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
[Quaid] needs to resist hamming it up in Z-movies like "Beneath the Darkness," which are beneath him and pretty much everyone else.
Village Voice
Tim Grierson
Doesn't even have the pulse-pounding excitement of a second-tier Scooby-Doo mystery.
Slant Magazine
Andrew Schenker
Overly expository dialogue abounds, as do questionable filmmaking choices and plenty of stupidly unconvincing actions taken on the part of the film's characters.
Compuserve
Harvey S. Karten
Dennis Quaid tries to look villainous but he's no Jack Nicholson
