The logistics of making a film like 'The Deep House' are quite mind-blowing. im a pretty old grumpy man with a low level of physical breathing capacity, and holding my breath for 30 sek's is near drowning internally, so you will have to be in good shape and good at o2 conservation, aka holding your breath because you will either you will or not have to draw your breath in the end, so if youre still alaive, then its a recommend.
Its a typical horror story, short story and short playtime, but it is a marvelous production, anyhow its just special effect or its real, it works. But things doest appear as they want it to, there fore send a drone first for a safety check, then have a look yourself. The couple who loves, like me, to hunt for old desolated houses to explore, and even scubadive for it, because its exciting and may make some does on youtube. Its made in the eu, with english language as main language, but dives into the depths of an artifiscial, damned lake of freakin france. There shows up some really spooooky,entangling, nightmareish and suffocating horror movies that will carve out a cut in your totempeel of moviehighlights, and even thought i hate the found footage genre, this one hit me like a silky glow just as an understatement. I would have rated it a six, but given the fact that so much was lost in terms of acting and mimicry because of the masks and the restrictions of being underwater for almost the entire movie, then I have to let the final rating sink to the bottom as a bland five stars. My rating of "The Deep House" lands on a bland five out of ten stars. When I sit down to watch a movie, I want to watch proper cinematography, and not something I could do myself with my DV camera. I don't enjoy that, since it feels amateurish and low budget. The camera work in "The Deep House" should also be addressed, as it had that shoddy and wobbly found footage crap style of camera operation to it. And once you take out that watery doom factor, you just have a haunted storyline that is similar to many other horror movies. Once you get past the submerged creepy house factor of the movie, then you are left with a rather mediocre and mundane horror experience. Aside from the underwater theme, then "The Deep House" didn't bring anything new or overly thrilling to the horror genre. For a horror movie then "The Deep House" just didn't really cut it. Again, a shame, because it worked against the overall feel of the movie. And being submerged and swimming around certainly also had some limitations upon bodily movement and body language. The acting performances in "The Deep House" were somewhat inadequate, because the two main performers were essentially wearing diving masks for about 95% of the movie, so you lost a lot of facial expressions and mimicry in the dialogue. So that was something that weighed against the movie. Yeah, the movie's storyline just didn't have enough aspects and layers, nor contents to support more than just that one and only viewing. And while "The Deep House" was watchable, this was hardly a horror mystery that warrants more than just a single viewing.
While this out of the ordinary approach to a horror movie was interesting, the actual storyline itself was sort of mundane, if you objectively take a step back and look at it. And there were definitely some great moments to be experienced throughout the course of the movie.
The whole thing with a submerged and genuinely creepy house being explored with limited light sources and limited air supply was something that had an interesting appeal to it. I have to admit flat out that I really enjoyed the concept of "The Deep House". So of course I opted to watch "The Deep House". I had just briefly skimmed through the synopsis and figured from the cover that it could potentially be a movie worthwhile watching. When I sat down to watch the 2021 horror mystery "The Deep House" from writers Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury I hadn't even heard about the movie.
