Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Tetrady not as good as all the hype

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

axlefoley64 After a slow star the film picked up, a nice twist for the film ending and the cast blended well together.

Martin Bradley "The Ones Below" is a decent enough little chamber piece on the perils of parenting, particularly if you suspect the neighbors downstairs covet your new-born baby. It marks the directorial debut of writer David Farr, (he wrote "The Night Manager" for television), and it's nicely done but in the end it's just too unpleasant to be entertaining. Basically a four-hander and well played by Clemence Poesy as the new mother convinced her neighbors are up to no good and by David Morrissey and Laura Birn as the neighbors, (personally I would have moved out five minutes after they moved in). It's let down only by Stephen Campbell Moore as Poesy's partner. Considering his outing in a similar role in the nasty little horror picture "The Children" some years back I would suggest Mr Campbell Moore get the snip sooner rather than later.

newhopes I expected so much more from this movie because I generally really like British movies. But...Unfortunately, I figured out the plot (albeit not all of the minor twists) in the first 5 minutes. I give the writer/director credit for vivid character development without beating the viewer over the head. And the acting was stellar. But other than that the movie was like a predictable roller coaster ride (only because the acting was great, not because I wondered where the ride was going). But the ending left me absolutely wishing I'd gone for groceries. It was one of the least satisfying, predictable conclusions imaginable... It was fairly clear what had happened but there was no realistic ending.What a disappointment!

Leofwine_draca THE ONES BELOW is a modern addition to the wave of psycho-thriller films that were all the rage in Hollywood in the late 1980s and early 1990s. These films typically depicted suburban families at the menace of urban threats and THE ONES BELOW is no exception. This time around, dull couple Clemence Poesy and Stephen Campbell Moore are an expecting couple whose relationship with their new neighbours, played by David Morrissey and Laura Birn, quickly sours.This thriller has an early plot twist which comes out of nowhere and is extremely shocking and powerful. Once I saw it, I was hooked. Sadly, the rest of the narrative can't match these early moments, and indeed this is a film that gets gradually more and more predictable as it goes on. As usual the main characters are ten steps behind the viewer and it gets more than a little familiar and more than a little tiresome very quickly.Poesy makes for an unlikeable heroine although Moore is good, even though his character is typically dim and oblivious to what's going on around him (much like his role in THE CHILDREN). Birn and Morrisey are excellent in their subdued and creepy roles, no surprise given the latter actor's pedigree. This low budget story is well shot and realistic, but towards the end it gets very dramatically unsatisfying, which I put down to laziness on the writer's part. The extensive use of flashbacks is also poor. In the end, this is a seen-it-all-before type film that needs more oomph and more originality to make it work.
