Growing up in Nova Scotia, I heard a lot of stories about the coal mines in Cape Breton although they'd been closed by then. Workers often died in gruesome ways or were buried alive. Coal mines are eerie enough on their own, but then you get horror films involved with them? Now that's scary! Take My Bloody Valentine (1981) for instance, it was filmed in a real coal mine. One of the miners went crazy and ate the other workers trapped with him.
Beneath takes it to an extreme. A group of coal miners are trapped when the mine collapses, and they're slowly running out of oxygen. Toxic gasses are seeping in, leaving the workers slowly going mad and wondering if they can save their air by killing the others.
This was pretty amazing for an independent film, I wish it wasn't so hard to find a copy though. The plot was pretty creepy, it reminded me of a news story a few years back with a collapsed mine; workers dug 'round-the-clock to rescue the miners trapped underground. The soundtrack was a little weird but still was decent, the acting was good and I don't think it was filmed in a real coal mine but it was still highly realistic. With pointless movies that aren't very good at all getting more popular just because they are made by large companies, it was nice to see a decent independent film with a good story.
