Scrupulously avoiding scenes that would require expensive special effects or elaborate sets, the filmmakers employ a straightforward dramatic style, concentrating their efforts on creating believable characters instead.

The oddball premise and quirky characters ultimately aren't enough to lift up "Man Underground," a sci-fi-infused indie drama that puts the "alien" back in alienation.

This study of loneliness, trauma and depression is rather less absurd than the home movie [whose making it dramatises], and more bittersweet.

... touching while giving a glimpse into the life of someone considered crazy without turning it into a satire or a comedy at the expense of this man.

Man Underground shot for seventeen days with a budget of only $35,000. For that money and time, it looks amazing, and goes far solely on the charm of its surprisingly capable four-person cast.

Will disappoint viewers expecting a sci-fi thriller but succeeds as a subtle examination of the human need for connection.
