Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })It's August 1943 and the USS Tiger Shark, operating in the Atlantic ocean right after the biggest U-Boat operation in the war, is asked by a recon Catalina seaplane to pick up three survivors (a nurse and two patients) of a British hospital ship sunk by German submarine. But for some reason morale aboard the sub is low and it's going to go even lower as strange accidents start conspiring against the ship's continuing survival. May be something worse than mere bad luck... Maybe even a malediction is at work.Below is a Psychological Horror movie with a cast of very familiar faces but not a single star, directed by David Twohy and written by Lucas Sussman and Darren Aronofsky in 2002.No relation to either the fantasy novel by Lee Gaiteri, or the 2018 Roguelike BELOW. | |

Zig-Zagged between this and Shown Their Work for the grappling hooks scene. Using hooks to hopefully snag or damage submarines hiding in shallow water is an actual tactic used by both the British and the Kriegsmarine, but only during World War I, where submarines typically had to operate in shallow or littoral waters when not in combat since they couldn't dive too deeply anyways. By World War II, improving submarine technology had rendered this method obsolete, since submarines couldn't be as easily chased into shallows as they could before. There were a few instances of the Japanese using hooks against American submarines in the Pacific Theater, but this was mostly just in the shallower Sea of Japan, where it was much more likely that a submarine could find itself cornered. | |

Abandon Ship: As more strange events happen aboard Tiger Shark, more and more of the crew become desperate to get off. | |

Artistic License – Ships | |
Below / int_e652089c | comment |
Artistic License – Ships: British merchant ships wouldn't fly the Union Jack, submarines were segregated during WWII and maximum periscope depth was 62 feet, for example. In addition, this WWII era submarine was shown to have multiple decks, wide corridors, and much more interior space than any real-life submarine could have. Perhaps the most glaring to historians is that American subs operated mainly in the Pacific Ocean, not the Atlantic. The Kriegsmarine also did not use ships as U-boat tenders, for the exact reason why the Tiger Shark was hunting them in the film: They're extremely juicy targets. Instead, they used "Milk Cow" U-boats with enlarged holds and fuel tanks to resupply other U-boats. Zig-Zagged between this and Shown Their Work for the grappling hooks scene.
