The film offers sci-fi and horror fans a compelling, visceral adventure set seven miles beneath the surface of the ocean.
Horror science fiction film Underwater, starring Kristen Stewart, will be released across cinemas in the UAE on January 9. The film sees a crew of aquatic researchers working to get to safety after an earthquake devastates their subterranean laboratory. But the crew has more than the ocean seabed to fear.
Starring alongside Kristen Stewart is Vincent Cassel who plays the Captain of the Kepler Station, Lucien. The film also stars Jessica Henwick, John Gallagher, Jr, Mamoudou Athie and TJ Miller.
Underwater is directed by William Eubank (The Signal) and was written by Brian Duffield (Insurgent) and Adam Cozad (The Legend of Tarzan) from a story by Duffield.
Commenting on the film, producer Jenno Topping said: “The simplicity of the concept initially drew me to the film. The movie follows a group of individuals attempting to move from point A to point B on the bottom of the ocean while outrunning a monster. This type of structure and its affiliated themes felt original within the thriller-horror space. It built upon the traditions of both of those genres while exploiting a really cool mysterious environment: the bottom of the ocean where 95% of it has yet to be explored.”
