I could easily review this film if I were to include spoilers - but in avoiding giving anything away there is so little I can say that I would like to say - this movie is shrouded in MYSTERY!
"Beneath The Dark" takes place at a desert motel ... a young man (Paul) and a young woman (Adrienne) who must rest, and so cannot continue their journey. So they stop at a motel that seems to welcome them. But there is something very strange about this place - watch closely, at the beginning of the film and you will see the Motel concierge, Frank, slipping a typed-note on an A4 sheet of paper into a "Gideon's Bible" and replacing it in the top drawer of a bedside chest of drawers in the room in which Paul and Adrienne are doomed to stay - "The Orchid Room". Now surely, that could not possibly be construed as a spoiler - yet I have to be so careful not to give anything away!
This is the mysterious rest-stop between two worlds that you have seen in so many episodes of "The Twilight Zone" ... but where in "The Twilight Zone" the story must be told in a brief introduction, two 11-minute acts, and s final short climax or dénouement, this story takes place over one and a half hours without ads. Apart from that, it is pretty much what you have been seeing on "The Twilight Zone" since 1959, and that is a compliment! (When television was influenced and employed theatre, when television was respectable and cared about the human condition!)
Without giving anything away, literally, I can say I would have given this movie more, but the concept that "law" is "truth" is a devilish lie, so I can only give it a 6 ... and if IMDb's rules would allow it, I would have given it a 6.66! What about the unparalleled intervention and interference in human affairs that is going on according to so-called "rules" and "laws" by those who put themselves in positions of so-called "authority" over us, make rules to force us to bend and submit to, and who corruptly judge us accordingly? What of the unimaginable enormity of the harm THEY do?! Perhaps that note in "The Gideon's Bible" should not have been inserted at "LEVITICUS", but at the place where it says: "Judge not and you shall not be judged!" Even wisdom turns to evil and maggots, when it is made into law as a subterfuge to rule over us from ABOVE and to deprive us of our universal, inalienable, un-God-given FREEDOM (which comes from BELOW)!!!
Turn down the lights, relax, and enjoy this film, but remember to temper the message at the end of this movie with a slice of raspberry pie! For ... you about to enter ... THE TWILIGHT ZONE!!!
