    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Bruce Wilkinson (the writer) first met Director Martin Guigui in Austin, Texas at the Austin Film Featival back in 2005 at a screening of Guigui's Swing (2003). Little did they know they would find themselves filming "Beneath The Darkness" 5 years later right in the Austin area.
    • Goofs
      Part of Ely's preparation of Danny before the funeral includes adding cosmetics and presumably embalming. During a Jewish funeral, there is a closed casket, which is customary, but it would not have been okay for Ely to add makeup or embalm Danny.
    • Quotes

      Abby: We know what you did, Ely.

      Vaughn Ely: Abby? Be careful.

      Travis: Man, that guy creeps me out.

      Abby: He's more than just a creep.

    For me this is not a horror film, it's only a thriller
    As also mentioned from other reviewers there are similarities between Mr. Brooks and this film. If Mr. Brooks is a Crime/Drama/Mystery film, this film cannot be a horror film, because Mr. Brooks has definitely harder scenes as this one. I don't know if the makers of this movie claim that they filmed a horror movie. If yes then it is a really poor horror film and you will be disappointed as a horror movie fan. But if you watch it as a Crime/Thriller it is watchable and not a waste of time. It depends on what your expectation is. In marketing the product must be declared correctly: if you declare horror in a product, horror must be in the product.

    In the music business there is a genre named easy-listening, translated into the movie business I would say this film is a "easy-watching" film: not bad and not really good.
