Subterano is a 2003 Australian horror-thriller film directed by Esben Storm and starring Alex Dimitriades, Tasma Walton, and Alison Whyte. The film takes place in an underground parking structure beneath an office building where six strangers are trapped and stalked by a bloodthirsty monster. The film begins with a flashback of a young boy murdering his mother with a hammer before committing suicide by jumping from the rooftop of the same office building where the parking structure is located. The story then fast-forwards to present day, where six strangers find themselves trapped in the underground parking lot after their cars fail to start. The passengers include a young couple, a businesswoman in a hurry to get to an interview, a nerdy phone repairman, a security guard, and a homeless man who has been living in the parking structure.

As they attempt to find a way out of the parking structure, they discover that they are not alone. A terrifying creature, which appears half-human and half-monster, begins to hunt them down one by one. The group tries to band together to survive, but tensions rise as they begin to turn on each other. Along the way, they uncover the dark history of the boy who committed suicide years ago and the reason behind the creation of the underground parking structure.

The film's setting in the underground parking lot creates a claustrophobic and oppressive atmosphere, with the characters being confined to a limited space, making escape seem impossible. The dimly lit setting is also perfect for creating suspense and highlighting the shadowy figure that stalks them.

The cast gives strong performances, with Alex Dimitriades delivering an intense performance as the unhinged and often aggressive security guard, and Tasma Walton providing a sympathetic portrayal of the businesswoman struggling to maintain her composure in the face of danger. Alison Whyte’s portrayal of the homeless woman is also noteworthy as she provides insight into the tragic past of the underground shelter.

The film's cinematography is also a standout, with creative use of light and shadow and camera angles that accentuate the sense of unease and tension.

Overall, Subterano is a well-crafted thriller that keeps the audience on the edge of their seat with suspenseful scenes and a terrifying monster. The film's exploration of the human psyche and how people react when pushed to the limit adds a layer of depth to the horror, making it a must-see for fans of the genre.

Subterano is a 2003 science fiction movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 35 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 3.9.
