Fear Below (2025)

The film leans left by subtly critiquing exploitation and unchecked power, portraying sympathetic working-class divers against ruthless, greedy criminals, which highlights class dynamics and the importance of integrity.

The film features intentional diversity in its main cast, with a woman and an Indigenous Australian depicted as equals, challenging historical norms. Its narrative explicitly critiques the racial and gender prejudices of the 1940s, making the commentary on historical inequity a central theme.

Fear Below does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on other dynamics, and while it addresses gender and racial diversity, it leaves LGBTQ+ experiences unexplored, resulting in no representation in the film.
