Below is a 2002 World War II horror film directed by David Twohy. It was written by Lucas Sussman, Darren Aronofsky and David Twohy, and stars Bruce Greenwood, Olivia Williams, Matthew Davis, Holt McCallany, Scott Foley, Zach Galifianakis, Jason Flemyng and Dexter Fletcher.
It was filmed on location in Lake Michigan (for exteriors, using the World War II-era U.S. Navy submarine, USS Silversides) and at Pinewood Studios.
The USS Tiger Shark is a submarine on patrol in the Atlantic Ocean in 1943. The submarine is ordered to pick up survivors spotted adrift by a British PBY Catalina patrol plane. At the wreck site, they retrieve three survivors — a British nurse and two sailors, one wounded — from a British hospital ship that was torpedoed several days earlier. As they pick up the survivors the Tiger Shark spots a German warship bearing down on them. The submarine has several encounters with the German warship and suffers heavy damage from depth charges in the process.
Immediately after the first attack the commanding officer of the Tiger Shark, Lieutenant Brice (Bruce Greenwood), discovers that the wounded sailor is actually a German POW, Luftwaffe pilot and family man Ben Archerlift. Brice confronts him because he thinks Archerlift has been making strange noises to betray their position to the German warship. Brice believes it was an act of sabotage, and shoots Archerlift dead when the German panics and grabs a scalpel to defend himself. The crew experiences eerie phenomena seemingly related to the recent death of the previous captain, Lieutenant Commander Winters. According to Brice, Winters was killed trying to obtain a souvenir from a torpedoed German ship; he fell and hit his head while reaching for his souvenir, then drowned before he could be rescued.
From the darkest depths of hell
Spawn of evil is set free
Domination since the dawn of time
Soulhunter will prevail again
The only angels you'll ever see
Will be the dark ones - Below
Trying to please the holy one
See what that has brought you to
Live by the book, live by the lies
The purest souls is what we crave
Step into the flames
You are our guest for eternity
No use to look to the skies
Clench your hands one last time
Domination for eternity
Standing on a hill
And it's nightime
Seeing all the lights
And hearing thunder
The valley down below
All the noise that goes to show
There can be no peace
Can be no peace in this world of mine
There can be no peace
Can be no peace in this world of mine
Inside my mind is screaming
Screaming from the pain that I feel
I get disturbed in my dreams
In my dreams from outside
It seams
The real world is noisy
The real world is noisy
The real world is noisy
There where times when i
Lived for today but now I hate
Every word I say
And I just wanna stay alone
Maybe I turned out too small
Or probably I don't live at all
Maybe I turned out too small
Or probably I don't live at all
Inside my mind is screaming
Screaming from the pain that I feel
I get disturbed in my dreams
In my dreams from outside
It seams
The real world is noisy
The real world is noisy
The real world is noisy
In this gray harbor of tears we are capsizing
Still waters belie the current that drags us down
Without a sun, shallow waters can only be black
As cold and as weathered as the leaves that clog your dead mouth
What the fuck is wrong with us people?
What the fuck is wrong with you people?
Lookin' down your nose, judging me fucker
Looking down your nose, from the same mother
Lookin' down your nose, judge, judge fucker?
As we sink below
Could you have walked on water with two lead feet?
This epiphany reached whilst breathin' through a straw
Conscience is the only weak link in my ball and chain
I've been makin' excuses for things I've done to myself
What the fuck is wrong with us people?
What the fuck is wrong with you people?
Lookin' down your nose, judging me fucker
Lookin' down your nose, from the same mother
Lookin' down your nose, judge, judge fucker?
As we sink below
Down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down
Can I be? Can I be all of these people at once?
Can I please all of you parasites at once?
Can I be all of these people at once? Can I be?
I cannot be, I cannot be, I cannot be
Lookin' down your nose, judging me fucker
Lookin' down your nose, from the same mother
Lookin' down your nose, judge, judge fucker?
As we sink below
Lookin' down your nose, judging me fucker
Lookin' down your nose, from the same mother
Lookin' down your nose, judge, judge fucker?
"Father when you stand above my grave
staring down and what could not be saved
watch me lowered to the darkest place
don't you wipe those tears, off your face
never dealt with conscience or said a thing
even bees feel pain as they sting
hope that I kept some order
since my sacrifice meant nothing"
provoked to exist, like smoke in the mist
we all fade away from claws
the sickness in laws we made...
when children just fade away
so let your eyes weep upon my own
and don't be silent for my esteem
what was then so proud now bares no tone
only in silence you'll hear me scream
loss of self, nothing left
just a shadow oozing breath
loss of sight, emission of disgust
what I trust left me (am I owned?)
humans are disposable and everybody
knows the young blood soaks the soil
but nothing ever grows behind these
dark lines where the sun does not shine
(and in case that it does) the stench
fills up our minds as our soul shares its
stench with the world from this trench
as we die on this earth for their bullshit
this bullshit
There's an old dirt road, just off route nine
Fades into the lake, at the low water line
Sometimes I wander down that road alone
Remembering the town, that I once called home
I grew up in the valley, every neighbor a friend
Until the modern world started creeping in
One day came the lawyers, with cash in hand
They swore that our village would light up the land
The dusky waters move cold and slow
And the ghosts of a village still wander below
Homesteads of families and friends forever more
Haunting the valley below this sparkling shore
Surrounding the valley was a painted red line
Drawn by company men like marking a crime
A silent reminder that all inside it must go
Or be lost to the rising dead river's flow
Some folks too the money, started grinding gears
While the rest of us held out, twenty odd years
We watched our town, like a photograph fade
As the company came, to take it all away
They tore down the church, the schoolhouse burned
They dug up the graves, the wheels of progress turned
They got Dutchie's store, and Haven's pool hall
When the dozers rolled, it shattered us all
The dusky waters move cold and slow
And the ghosts of a village still wander below
Homesteads of families and friends forever more
Haunting the valley below this sparkling shore
Old May Savage stayed as long as she could
Her house on the hill towered over the flood
It rose up alone, in the dark of night
Its face on the water, the cold moonlight
I shake off the memories, on my lips a prayer
Thanks for the grace, and the beauty down there
And while the porch lights glow, all over the state
There's nothing but darkness, under the lake
The dusky waters move cold and slow
And the ghosts of a village still wander below
Homesteads of families and friends forever more
Haunting the valley below this sparkling shore
From below the permafrost of the arctic region
Lie species unknown
Since the cryogenian period
Eight-hundred million years to be unleashed
Immersed continually within the glacial mass
Mankind extenuates the anguish of their habitat
The warming of the globe will emancipate
An apocalyptic inevitable fate
Enormous, vastly exceeding the traits of extant life
Winged beast navigating through water, air, or land
No escape, predatory nature will eradicate
Removal, seek and destroy all living entities
Ice cores decrystalize, cleansing native life
Discharging archaic malignant reptilia
By design, enshrined for this rightful time
Now liberated, they ruthlessly
Cleanse the populace
Colonies of ancient life descending from the skies
Grasping mounds of earthly flesh, and tearing to shreds
Screams go unheard, their bellowing overwhelms
For fifty thousand years, they dominate the earth
An epoch of doom, cataclysmic degree
Until a new age of frozen earth
Waters and mass begin to congeal
Frostbite disseminates
Existence now null
Change in earth s atmosphere
Gas levels drop
Continents shift with force
Polar seas rise Earth s orbit alternates
Sunlight decline
Output, diminishing
Sunspots convect
Volcanoes, blanketing
Earth with aerosol
Globalized extinction
We are sailing stormy water
Sinking souls in the blackest sea
Crawling hellhounds evil has been found
Feeding death to the war machine
Are you lonely you're not the only one
Feeling coldness in the burning rain
In your heart you're haunted by the life you wanted
You bleed your sorrow somewhere
Down tomorrow's road
Nobody knows what we are living for
Godless fire raging higher
There's something going on below
Under the surface so much deeper
Than this dark hole
We must find the secret eye
Break the chains and learn to fly
Fallen ages, kings and dreamers
Quest for power since the day the world was born
We keep on trying but we can't stop lying
Finding reason when the truth is hard to feel
You better watch out for the wicked man
He's gonna steal your crown before he takes you down
There's something going on below
Under the surface so much deeper than this dark hole
We must find the secret eye
Break the chains and learn to fly
Going under my ship of wonder
Drowning slowly as the pain is leaking in
From the sunlight to the frost night
Hope is fading on a silent wind
Something's going on below
Under the surface so much deeper
Than this dark hole
If we can find the secret eye
We lose our chains and learn to fly
I wish I'd never touched the surface of the sun
Suddenly, I'm burning brightly, burning too bright
Falling fast into the sea
And I'm anchored to the ocean floor below
Sleeping softly on and on
Between my daydreams and my nightmares of the sun
I'm anchored to the ocean floor, I'm anchored
The words were there
But I had never heard them, not like this
I'm anchored to the ocean floor, I'm anchored
I stood at the bottom
While I watched as lovers shared a first kiss
I remember it like it happened only moments ago
In November, this will be the only thing I have left to hold
These creatures stare at me while passing on their away
Can I touch them now or when they sleep
Or will they try to stop me if I do
And I'm angry at the waves from far below
Can they see that I am trying
I am like them, reaching for anything else
My arms are reaching out, but I was always trying to get where I could never go before
Am I alive, is it over now
I can still feel the cold, but I can see that I'm still alone
My arms are reaching out, but I was always trying to get where I could never go before
Am I alive, is it over now
I can still feel the cold, but I can see that I'm still alone
I caught them swimming down below
I found them running
My friends were there, but I had never seen them
Not like this
I caught them swimming down below
I found them running
I lay at the bottom
While I wait for my lover's last kiss
I remember it like it happened only moments ago
In November, this will be the only thing I have left to hold
I remember it like it happened only moments ago
In November, this will be the only thing I have left to hold
