There are a mountain of tropes you expect your typical disaster movie to deliver. It’s what makes them comfort food films.

We know there will be warnings unheeded. All will be tested, and some will wuss out. A relative will get reckless. A simple, single action coincides with or triggers the final calamity.

Some will be prepared, some overwhelmed. Not everybody we root for will make it. A family will be rent and torn and still cling together, even if the rending and the tearing started months before a catastrophe intervened.

The Swedish mine disaster thriller “The Abyss” checks all those boxes, one after the other. Writer-director Richard Holm, a Swedish TV veteran, takes care to hit every mark, to leave no trope unturned in his debut feature. Genre fans might enjoy it as he puts his picture through its pokey paces. I thought it was entirely too on-the-nose, time and again, as it saunters towards a finale sure to surprise no one, even those it leaves feeling film-comfort-food satisfied at the end.

Tuva Novotny, seen in “Annihilation,” plays Frigga, a stoic geologist in charge of safety at the world’s largest mine in Kiruna, Sweden. She’s the daughter of a miner who died getting out the iron ore the mine is famous for, and married to Tage (Peter Franzén), the operations director there.

Frigga keeps her dead grandad’s good luck charm with her, and like him refers to the mine and the mountain that sits over it as “she,” greeting the mountain and The Lady of the Mine every time she enters it. But the mountain’s ever “settling” seams and rock formations mean that it’s going to collapse, and soon. Plans are underway to move the entire town.

Disaster film fans can guess those plans might have to be moved up a bit.

But why today? It’s her son Simon’s birthday. Her daughter, Mika (Felicia Truedsson) is willing to lie down in front of Frigga’s work truck in protect a business not slated to be moved with the rest of the town. Her husband is living elsewhere, just waiting for her to sign the divorce papers.

And today of all days, Frigga’s new lover, Dabir (Kardo Razzizi) has shown up early for a sleepover. Did I mention he’s a firefighter from Upsala? Maybe he has skills that are about to come in handy in this town where partying teens are vanishing into new cracks in the Earth, where a child’s sandbox empties out from under him when he plays in it, where the dogs are barking like they might know something and the bugs are coming out from underground because they’re damned sure they know something.

Not to worry about the insects. “They only come out of the ground when the mountain moves.”

Holm leans into the melodrama of this genre archtype-populated tale. There’s a “Was that you making the Earth move?” joke (in Swedish with subtitles, or dubbed into English). Helluva moment for the “old guy” ex to meet the “new guy” fireman.

And daughter Mike picks the worst time ever to have a fight with her girlfriend (Tinton Poggats Sarri).

The narrative teases us with a calamity in the opening scene, then takes a good solid hour to establish what’s coming and oh, by the way, our son/brother is missing.

The dialogue is a tad trite in Swedish, worse in dubbed English.

And as we track a couple of points of view — Mika dragging Dabir in search of her sibling, Frigga forced to babysit Tage when she leads a team down to inspect the mountain’s mineshafts — “The Abyss” struggles to find a surprise in all the cracks, collapses, impalings and trapped-in-SUV escapes.

Some of the performances are pretty blasé, considering the rising peril of everyone’s respective situations. There’s professionalism and there’s shock, and then there’s waiting for a take when all the effects around you trigger at once. Again.

When “The Abyss” finally gets going, it serves up a little suspense, a moment of humor and a grim and touching piece of pathos. But even those are straight out of the genre playbook, the one the Norwegians beat the Swedes to and mastered with “The Wave,” “The Quake” and “The Tunnel.”
