Netflix's Below sends Josh Hartnett to hunt a supernatural sea creature
Netflix has released Below, a six-part supernatural thriller starring Josh Hartnett and Mackenzie Davis.
Below is a supernatural thriller set in Snook's Arm, a struggling Newfoundland fishing town. An ancient evil lurks underwater.
Josh Hartnett plays fisherman Calvin Penney. Calvin Penney discovers an iceberg in the harbour that is far stranger than it seems.
Mackenzie Davis plays a scientist. She reveals the strange presence is a giant squid.
It was thawed from Arctic permafrost. It is now killing trawlermen.
The show blends horror with absurdist humour. It features sea hags, 1970s and 90s nostalgia, and references to classic films like Jaws and The Fog.
