The Deep House

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.

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.

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.

I have to give them props for trying something different. This is the first underwater horror movie I have ever seen, and given the small budget I think they did a good job. So congrats. Worth a watch imo.

6/10.

Ok, so movie was ok overall but i would not give it high grade just because it had something new (enemy and location). Let's just say it will not dissapoint you. First act was good, second was very good, but 3rd and final act was a bit down the hill, so overall a solid 6/10 from me.
