The Deep House

As a huge fan of the director duo n for some nice technical aspects, i am generous with a 5.

I have been okay with their Livid which is the least fav among their horror movies profile.

I enjoyed their recent Kandisha but this one is not upto expectations.

Some scenes are creepy but ....

OK. As most reviewers have indicated, the concept is somewhat unique but the overall story is lacking character depth and better explanation.

The film quality was not bad but the dialogue didn't add much direction or give the viewer reasons to invest in the characters. There were a few creepy moments but nothing to rave about and there was, in my opinion, a lack luster ending.

Simply put, it wasn't awful but it has a long way to go before it can be compared to this directorial duo's brilliance displayed in their prior film "Inside".

I like the idea - the problem was the people who made this - the two lead "actors" also "wrote" it. The dialog is absolutely awful.

When he says to her "you've got 60 minutes of air and you can hold your breath for 3 minutes," something that no one has ever said to anyone for no reason ever, I knew we were in trouble. Why would you tell someone out of the blue "and you can hold your breath for 3 minutes, you know, in case we meet ghosts down there or something..."

The two leads cannot act. They're reciting terribly written dialog. And when anything happens, the camera just flings all over the place so you get flashing lights, stuff in front of you that you can't tell what it is, and the 'actors" in shock.

Also, you get the standard ten "this is great" two line reviews in IMDB from "people" with no other reviews who...you guessed it...worked on this.

I do like the concept. It should be made by competent film makers so it isn't a chore to get through. Maybe someone else will give it a shot at some point.

Worth a one time watch for it's originality. I appreciate the intention. I'm sure it was a whole other challenge filming underwater. It's ok but really fell flat in the last quarter of the film.

The idea of a haunted house underwater... quite original. Unfortunately, most of the rest of the movie was just... not well thought out.

The main characters are poorly done. The male lead is just an unlikeable ass, and the female lead is an idiot. They make insanely stupid choices time and time again, things that nobody would ever do. Even for a horror movie, it's just too much.

Add to that the "evil" is just more of the typical poorly written nonsense. No real defined powers. Goes from the usual "moving things" to "I can warp reality" back to "let's flicker the lights". They really need to learn to establish exactly what abilities hauntings have. Because in most of these movies, some of the powers shown means the "ghosts" should just instantly win as soon as anyone steps foot in the house.

The writers also clearly have never actually gone diving before, or used most of the technology shown in the movie. Things don't work the way they wrote them working.

All in all, the movie is okay for a one time mindless watch. A few okay jump scares, a unique concept... but overall... just kind of meh. Really falls apart at the end too. Disappointing. Not the worst movie out there, but there's far better horror picks.
