Below
“What if, when we took on that kraut ship, we didn’t sink ‘em? What if… they sunk us?”
“Oh, that’s a good twist.”
There’s a particularly funny moment halfway through Below, after most of the crew has decided the submarine is in some way haunted, that they sit down and riff on their situation. Specifically, on the possibility that they somehow died previously and are not in fact being haunted by the dead, but rather by the living. Basically, they’re talking about living out The Sixth Sense, except within a sub sixty years earlier. It’s a weird moment, since it draws your attention outside of the story to the twist-happy movies that arrived after Shyamalan’s spook debut, but it’s also hilarious the way the characters speculate about the possible moments they died but weren’t aware.
