The Deep Ones

I dont know why but all the time movies on Lovecrafts books are so trash. But this one also take the soul from it. It is like cheap hipster fantasy so called movie gathering or just to put it on a cv that the director could make a movie. Where is the terror and the suspense of Lovecraft? The mystery of the mythos and the unknown? I think this guy should change his genre of movies to porn or smthg he could do better in my opinion. I love thrashy movies generally but this is horrible.

Besides the terrible acting, this hardly compares to Dagon or some of the previous Cthulu mythos movies. Lately there seems to be a number of these trying to cash in on this Lovecraft creation. Unfortunately none of them are any good.

It's hard to know whether to trust horror movies ratings because they're always skewed by joyless judgmental jerks who are like "oh my gawd, who would ever want to watch this type of garbage!" Well... lots of people. But 5/10 seems right, this is like mediocre low budget, like Hallmark channel quality (if they had Hallmark Horror.)

The acting for the most part is pretty bad. The blonde friend is great though. There were a few things I liked. There are a bunch of old tv references (Three's Company, Andy Griffith, I Love Lucy). One character gives off strong Mrs. Doubtfire vibes. And best of all, the central relationship reminded me a ton of Jesse and Darcey from 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days.

Worth a watch? Ehh... probably only if you are into low budget horror.

The plot was solid, in concept, so that earned it a couple stars. This in the spirit of Innsmouth by all rights. The rest, however? Think four digit budget during quarantine at your uncle's beach house. Bad acting, bad effects, bad production... but hey if you're a HPL fan or into bad horror movies check it out.

Badly written, badly acted, you name it and its bad in this movie. At some point during the filming I feel like someone would have raised the point that this movie was on-fire garbage and that all production should be stopped and all work prints destroyed for the good of humanity. Nope.

If you have a toilet, watch it flush for an hour and a half and you will come away with the exact same experience as this awful, awful film.
