  • ‘Underwater’ is ‘Alien’ but with Kristen Stewart and, well… underwater

    Underwater, no one can hear you scream. Well, they can if they’re nearby and can catch an earful of your terrified gurgling, but also, I wouldn’t recommend screaming, because you’ll need that oxygen, because you’re about to walk across the deep sea floor and try not to get eaten by a mysterious monster.

    OK, so it’s not as catchy a tagline — but the isolated, hermetically-sealed sci-fi horror vibe of Underwater is too close to Alien not to have a go. (Alien But It’s) Underwater stars Kristen Stewart, Vincent Cassel, and Jessica Henwick (Game Of Thrones, The Force Awakens) as a ragtag bunch of adventurers in a scientifically advanced space station ocean base.
