While crossing the Mojave Desert to go to a wedding in Los Angeles, Paul (Josh Stewart) and his girlfriend Adrienne (Jamie-Lynn Sigler) have a car accident. They decide to spend for the night into the Roy's Motel and Cafe and they check-in with a man called Frank (Chris Browning). Paul is uncomfortable to disclose a secret to Adrienne while Frank's wife Sandy (Angela Featherstone) has a hidden past that affects their lives. Along the night, weird and surreal things happen to Paul until a stranger help him to discover the truth and make a choice."Beneath the Dark" is an engaging but predictable thriller. The story is unoriginal and the mystery is easily disclosed still in the beginning. But anyway it is entertaining. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "A Escolha" ("The Choice")

I actually watched this movie by accident, mistaking it for "Beneath the Darkness" with Dennis Quiad. I must say that I'm glad I watched this movie. It has a dark atmosphere, and it keeps itself a mystery until the end. I was bored at times, but all things considered i had a good time with this movie, though at the end I had a feeling of deja-vu. The atmosphere reminded me of "Identity" while the plot itself was actually a lot like 2003's "Dead End", but i liked that movie much more. It succeeds to create an atmosphere full of suspense, but at the end you will be left feeling like you've already seen it all somewhere else.

WARNING SPOILERS!! I'm giving this an extra star bc it deserves better ratings!OK so I usually never write reviews that have actual movie info but I can't help it on this film. Also I do NOT understand why this has low ratings bc It is a VERY VERY great movie! Well written, well acted and very intriguing. When Paul is in the café and the stranger offers him the smokes he likes I actually thought then that they didn't make it out of the crash. I have seen a different horror movie like this where they were trapped in a hotel and all being murdered and at the end they really had just been in a wreck, so very different movie but on a similar idea. However don't get me wrong, other than that similarity it is completely different. I REALLY liked the little twist at the end and was sad it ended! The fact that it was somewhat confusing at parts wasn't a negative thing, it actually kept my attention thru the somewhat slow beginning, so I have no complaints. I didn't think I was really going to enjoy this much when I began because of the awful reviews. The only reason I think it does have low ratings is due to the fact that most people OBVIOUSLY did NOT get the meaning & did not understand it whatsoever. It really made me think and I felt like the characters were really there and I wanted to know more about them! So very very well thought out movie with outstanding acting. I don't usually recommend movies to friends and family bc I'm more of a book reader, however this is one I will be going out of my way to suggest to everyone. I definitely recommend and you should have an open mind going into this and just hang in there, if you pay attention I know you will really enjoy it as well.

The plot for this movie is not exactly new but even with me saying that it will keep you guessing for a bit.The production is great, the acting top notch, characters, direction all good.The most notable quality of this movie though is the pace, it is very slow and considered. The characters are examined in massive detail but you never really get to know them. This is how the plot is disguised so well.If you have patience and you don't mind a film that takes its time then this is definitely for you. For me it was a little slow and void of substance.
