Superdeep

The setting is a great place for a horror film with the real life stories that emerged from the borehole. Its debated whether the recording of voices is real or not, but with the Russians, its hard to tell facts from fiction. Anyway the movie keeps a good pace. Standard horror movie idiot characters of course. If they had expanded a bit of the plot it would have rounded this film out nicely. Felt the story was a bit rushed. Decent film though. Deserves a higher rating than the current 4.9.

The Russians have been putting out some pretty decent movies lately, really enjoyed sputnik and this one is pretty good too.

Yes its a sort of THE THING movie, but its well made and if i recall in The thing the plot was almost none existing too.

The special effects for this movie are amazing, the acting is not that bad.

If you like movies like The thing i highly recommend this movie.

An ambitious Russian horror film that borrows liberally from a number of films including Carpenter's 'The Thing,' and 'The Descent.' The plot, about bad things happening at a lab deep in the earth, is muddled and often confusing and takes too long to get going. The English dub isn't great. Worth a watch if you're not expecting much.

This film is similar to the american one called The thing and the effects are like that movie as well. The plot is different but interesting and keeps the spectator compenetrated in the movie. The cast is pretty all unknown, some good acting and some not and the ambience is well made. If you love science fiction as I do, then watch it.

Yes, The Superdeep is no masterpiece but the rather low rating has something to do with the fact that this is a Russian movie (at least my guess). What we get is some nice story with a solid production and acting, and some fine visuals here and there spiced up with a little hunch of horror. Of course, we all know too well the ingredients the story of The Superdeep is cooked up: The Thing and Alien may be mentioned here.

There are some logical issues (why the members of the expedition don't wear the full protection suits and gears all the time in the hot zone for example just can be explained by a mystic of higher rank) but I know a lot of movies published by Hollywoods greatest companies, or Netflix, Marvel and whoever, that got far far bigger holes in the plot - and better ratings. Anyway, if you like this kind of movies The Superdeep will deliver a nice snack. Solid to good.
