Underwater to contain an alternate ending when it arrives on digital
By Mads Lennon
Underwater will swim to digital, DVD, and Blu-ray next month. Don’t miss out on the Kristen Stewart-led deep-sea frightfest.
A devastating earthquake damages the Kepler undersea mining rig in the opening moments of Underwater. Left to their own devices, the Kepler crew must figure out a way to survive when they realize the earthquake has awakened horrific creatures intent on picking them off one-by-one.
Kirsten Stewart shines in this creepy monster movie as mechanical engineer Norah Price, who manages to get help to evacuate the crew and help prevent their immediate deaths after the earthquake strikes. Underwater also stars Vincent Cassel, Jessica Henwick, T.J. Miller, Mamoudou Athie, and John Gallagher Jr.
Unfortunately, the film underperformed at the box office but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth watching. Despite a mediocre performance, it was still one of the better-reviewed horror films of January.
