The first trailer for Underwater is now released. This is a William Eubank directorial film that comes from horror-thriller section. The forthcoming film is about an underwater laboratory which is destroyed by an earthquake, prompting the researchers inside to scramble to safety, if there is such a thing deep into the ocean.
Not just drowning, there are many terrifying underwater creatures who are looking the researchers for a hearty meal. The feel one gets from the movie is Alien (the original one), based on underneath the ocean. There are spacesuit kind of things the characters are wearing, that could withstand immense pressure in the deeper parts of the ocean.
Apparently, the research lab is in Mariana Trench, the deepest part of all the oceans, since we hear that the researchers are descending 7 miles or 11.2 km (about the depth of Mariana Trench) to the bottom.
The very concept of a person stranded 7 miles into the water is terrifying enough. It is believed that 80 per cent of the oceans is still unexplored. We simply have no idea what is in there (though scientists do not believe any life could thrive in such pressure and darkness).
Thus, there have been so many films that conjure up scary aquatic monsters who have never before seen the light of the day, and reside in the darkness way deep in the oceans. Jason Momoa’s Aquaman had Trench monsters and Jason Statham’s The Meg had a megalodon.
Underwater presents various scenes with jump scares in the trailer itself and this does not inspire confidence.
The cast features Kristen Stewart. TJ Miller, Jessica Henwick, Mamoudou Athie, Vincent Cassel and John Gallagher Jr play are in supporting roles.
Underwater is scheduled to be released on January 10, 2020.
