John goes to help her, and in trying to make the moment less awkward, John licks Libby’s blood off his fingers. There’s a disconcerting moment (okay, there are a lot of disconcerting moments) where Libby gets her period while she and John are out on a boat together. It just makes the film feel kind of gross, and not in a way that’s fun to watch. There’s a sexual tension between Libby and John right from the moment they meet, which I’m pretty sure is wholly unnecessary. John shows Libby some of the creatures he’s studying in their basement - an ancient, parasitic species who latch on to their prey and adapt to the host. There’s a lot of heavy foreshadowing in this early conversation, and that continues throughout the movie. As Michelle says, “he’s basically saving the world”.
He explains that he’s there to work on finding a way for aquatic species to live in a rapidly changing environment.
He’s an aquatic geneticist, who met Libby’s mom that summer while studying at the lake. In contrast, Trey Tucker does play the boyfriend who may be too good to be human with a smarmy charm that’s fun to watch.īack to John Smith. Instead, there’s a whole heap of melodrama, which Mena Suvari in particular is guilty of. This could have been avoided by having more of a sense of humor throughout the film, or by better performances.
EMA HORVATH AGE MOVIE
Shortly after the comical beginning of the film, What Lies Below begins to take itself more seriously, and that’s where it begins to feel like a Hallmark movie about a mom and daughter dealing with mom’s new relationship turned thriller. While this movie sets us up for a campy experience, Mena Suvari apparently doesn’t do campy well anymore, which is surprising, given her previous acting credits.
