I was lured in to watch "From the Depths" given the movie's cover/poster, which displayed a great white shark with its mouth wide open heading towards a woman in the water. So needless to say that I was expecting this to be a movie in the likes of, say I don't know, "Jaws" or "The Meg" perhaps.

However, what I ended up sitting down to watch was a drama about a woman whom had apparently been attacked by a shark a year ago and was now having trouble sleeping, as vivid dreams of a shark attacking her had her trembling with fear. And she was seeing the shark wherever she went, even out of water.

Yeah, this was a movie about a woman and her psychological issues coping with being the sole survivor of a shark attack and having problems adapting to her life situation and a potential new love interest. Except, there was a twist... And I will not spoil that, as you have to wait to the very end of the movie to see that for yourself. Believe you me, you'll be as dumbfounded as I was and just shaking your head in disbelief.

The movie was not a great movie in terms of entertainment or enjoyability. It was watchable, sure, but it was a movie that actually could just as easily be skipped entirely and your life wouldn't be any less complete without it.

The acting in the movie was adequate, when taking into consideration the severe limitations imposed by a poor script and storyline, and having fairly rigid characters to work with.

The CGI used in the movie was just laughably bad; it looked like something from a 1990s computer game. It was just unfathomable that something that horrible could pass in 2020.

Now, I can't claim to be familiar with the work of writer and director Jose Montesinos prior to this movie. But this particular 2020 movie wasn't a grand achievement.

If you enjoy shark movies, do yourself a favor and skip this movie, because it is not, and I repeat, it is not a shark movie.

My rating of "From the Depths" is a generous three out of ten stars.

This movie had no sharks, no plot and terrible acting. The "effects" were cheesy. Do not waste your time or money on this film. The movie cover/poster is misleading..

Sorry that you made a drama about psychological fears and emotional scars but had no budget and decided to spend all you money on a poster to try to trick people into seeing it. Tricks on you. Your movie is garbage.

What a waste of time to watch this !!! there is no drama no horror no mystery nonthriller

I am honestly so shocked at how bad this movie was, that I won't even bother explaining it. Story was horrible, acting was horrible, effects were horrible, and the list goes on.

Anyone who gives this movie over a 1 or 2 was either a part of the movie, related to someone in the movie, or paid to rate it highly. Period.

Don't be fooled by the poster this is not a shark movie, it's just plain awful and the twist is just ridiculous. Don't waste your time, I wish I hadn't wasted mine.

In spite of the movie poster prominently displaying a Great White shark, this movie has nothing to do with sharks, except for some repetitive flashbacks. Feel so cheated!

This popped up on amazon as ive watched properly every single film ever made involving sharks so I thought yay one I've not seen.... well, 30 mins in im sat near enough falling asleep, all it is is a woman who can't sleep and feels guilty because she survived a shark attack the year before. After 30 mins I turned it off ( never have I done this before) read other reviews on here and thought phew it's not just me. Unless you wish to die of boredom don't bother wasting your time with this film. Also the lead actress is terrible.

Apart from the bad special effects and costume make up the storyline was not that bad and I didnt expect the ending. Really not bad at all. Wouldn't call this a shark movie though.

I thought this film was to low graded. So I thought I should a little review. This is film is not a shark movie! If you think it is like jaws or something then don't watch. It is also not very good actors. But, the story line, if you really think about it is very good. This psycological thriller reminded my of the shack which is based around a similar plot.

Well, just wanted to say that this movie might not be all bad.

After surviving this movie I am plagued by nightmares of never recovering the time it took to watch it, and hallucinations of visits from family and friends, who died of boredom trying to watch this film. It is easy to forget that this is a story about the effects of a shark attack when there are few scenes including sharks.

Being the sole survivor of a shark attack, a young woman begins being haunted by visions of sharks.

I don't know why, but as soon as I see a shark, I'm hooked, and I think it's the same for many, sure we've all loved Jaws, we were all surprised by The Meg, we all tried Sharknado, surely From The Depths would at least be better than the latter, right?

.....wrong, this film had me wishing I had The Sci fi channel on, and had Sharknado running, even that was better. The shark could have been abutting, it could even have been a ferrel badger, only the marketing team know that people are hooked by killer sharks.

The acting wasn't very good sadly, the cast did their best, and you can only imagine how many green screens they had to react to.

The makeup team tried their best, but they must have been given 5 bucks and sent to a joke shop to buy the equipment. The special effects are sadly no better, they could have been done on someone's home PC about two decades ago.

The twist, had me reaching for the smelling salts, not through shock, more disbelief. I managed to get to the end of it, through dogged grit and determination.

Credit to The Marketing team, if you've watched it, they did their job well, and they deserve a star for that.

2/10.

To be fair, I have not yet watched the entire movie. However, I saw the trailer and, to my surprise, I saw a couple of scenes taken directly from Jaws 3D.

HEY EVERYBODY ITS ME, (4) to day we review JAWS PART 17 ....

okay .... so IF anyone has noticed yet i review movies ALOT ...like ..literally hundreds of films .... i have made films/worked on films , i have ties to big names in hollywood even (not bragging just saying) so i just love film ....its kind of my thing .....

and very few times .... do i not complete a movie once i hit start ..........

this ....is one of those times ............i love above all things indie films and film makers , because it takes alot of everything to do this .....

sometimes however ......... lol........ no ......... the pacing is wonky at best, maybe its the editing , maybe the atmospherical attempt with the music / scoring ...... but it just runs weird and makes you bored even when something happens on screen like shes having a night mare thing your like ... okay and ? .... it feels like the most bored suspenseful moment ever ....

i hate to do it but i got a 3rd in or so and i just started skipping around to see if it got better .... it pretty much runs the same through it seems ....... crazy chick ... some talking ... "nightmare " moment ... repeat .... then surprise ending ... that obviously isnt ..........

ive had more excitement watching my dog take a crap ......and it even had the suspenseful music ....

1/10

maybe it was good and im just being a jerk if so my bad ... but i honestly dont think i missed much ......

Firstly no idea how I managed to leave the movie running for its entirety!

Storyline pretty much non-existent. Cardboard acting. For some reason the movie was shot in the colour that only dogs see. CGI created on Microsoft paint. Ending which was both pointless & no way alluded to during the movie.

There was one point where a floating shark in the hallway that was so bad, they should have just used one of those kids helium balloon sharks with a fan!

Only high point I've now seen was a shark looks like in a glass.

The writer, producers, & everyone involved should apologise for ever creating this monstrosity!

You're welcome!

A preposterous mash up of Incident at Owl Creek Bridge, An American Werewolf in London and a classic SNL skit. Amateur acting is no match when pitted against a sophomoric script that features a therapist who seems more enthralled than alarmed by her patient having auditory and visual hallucinations. Bargain basement special effects, combined with somewhat better than it deserves makeup application does nothing to forgive the, "I saw this coming from the opening credits" ending. Pedestrian, or rather tricycle, direction completes this sorry mess and you have background noise while you do jigsaw puzzles.

Alright, so you know how it goes when a movie is just so under the radar it's practically in stealth mode, right? Well, that's pretty much the deal with 'From the Depths'. It's not exactly blowing up on IMDb or getting rave reviews in the mainstream media. But trust me, my take is different. I mean, I've gone through the trouble of adding Japanese subtitles to this thing, and let me tell you, that really immerses you in its world.

Despite featuring a bare-bones cast, the movie is a total knockout. Every character, every interaction just packs a punch. It's like finding a diamond in the rough, you know? Totally unexpected but totally worth it.

And let's not even get started on the fact that it hasn't made its way to Japan yet - not in cinemas, not on streaming, not even on DVD or Blu-ray. That's just a major bummer. As someone who stumbled upon this gem, added subtitles, and lived to tell the tale, I gotta say: it's a wild ride that everyone should get to experience.

So for all you lucky ducks who have a shot at watching 'From the Depths', don't snooze on it. It's not your typical popcorn flick, but man, it's something else. To my homies back in Japan, let's keep our fingers crossed and hope that this hidden gem will surface in our neck of the woods soon. It's a cinematic adventure that'll be worth every second of the wait. Trust me on this one, dudes and dudettes.

I am surprised at the low ratings & I am a bit of a nitpicker with movies usually finding something wrong to complain about but I liked this one. I especially love a movie with a shock twist & this one does not disappoint. It kept me intrigued right throughout. The acting was good, it even had a little bit of comedy despite being deemed a horror movie. I would class it more as a thriller / mystery but that's my opinion. Thriller because it keeps you guessing. There's no real gore so if you prefer a gory horror shark movie then this one probably isn't for you. Definitely recommend this movie though.
