Patron's Pick: Underwater (2020)

For today’s Patron’s Pick, we’re diving deep into the world of underwater sci-fi horror with Underwater (2020), selected by Johan. This intense, deep-sea thriller blends elements of Alien, The Abyss, and Lovecraftian horror, with Kristen Stewart delivering a standout performance. Set in a destroyed underwater rig, the film follows Norah as she navigates terrifying creatures lurking in the deep.

Released at the start of the pandemic, Underwater flew under the radar, but it's earned a loyal fanbase for its suspenseful atmosphere, high-stakes survival story, and unsettling creature feature moments. Critics have praised the film for its edge-of-your-seat tension and Stewart’s strong performance, even if it doesn’t redefine the genre.

We break down the film in full on Patreon, where we discuss its sci-fi horror influences, themes, and what makes it a must-watch. If you’ve got a hidden sci-fi gem or underrated movie you love, let us know, and we might feature it in future Patron’s Picks. Tune in to our latest Patreon episode and discover why Underwater deserves a second look!
