Finally something unique 😱

Be sure you read this title correctly. I said that The Deep House is one of the scariest movies, not a perfect horror film. I mainly was a fan of this film thanks to the fact that it actually did something original. I'm often pretty tired of the same old stories of a killer on the loose, a haunted cabin, etc. A haunted house underwater, now that is something that I have not seen before.

This is a French film, but the English dubbed version was just fine with me. This is especially okay when for the majority of the film, the two main characters have a diving mask on. It's not like you can see their lips moving, so if you get annoyed by the lips not syncing up, it is not an issue here. That type of thing doesn't bother me, it sometimes even adds extra comedic character to a movie. However, there isn't much funny about The Deep House.

If you have a fear of drowning, then you will probably be on edge from the beginning. A young couple named Tina and Ben is on another adventure. They have heard of a perfectly intact house at the bottom of this lake. Once they get there, it's far from desolate and overrun with people swimming and being loud. This just isn't going to work, because Ben is obsessed with capturing everything that they do to post to social media. He is not famous, but he has hopes of living a life of fame and fortune one day. Lucky for him, they find a local that points them in a discreet location where they can find this underwater manor.

Tina is determined to be a good girlfriend and puts up with Ben's obnoxious ways. They both had been training for months for this dive. Scuba diving isn't as simple as just jumping in the water and breathing through an oxygen tank. There are so many little nuances to learn and things to be careful of, otherwise, you have a high chance of drowning due to mistakes.

Ben is able to hold his breath underwater for several minutes and Tina secretly can only hold hers for barely over one minute. Being able to stay under a long time without oxygen is important in case there was to be an emergency. It is this fact that Tina is lying about her skills that lets you know that surely everything will not go as planned.

You may be asking yourself, how on earth could a house be in normal living conditions after being underwater for years? The answer is something I cannot tell you, but let's just say this place is definitely haunted. There are some typical horror genre things that happen, but it's just super creative that pretty much all of the movies take place underwater.

I thought this was a pretty scary movie, but Hive account@flowerbaby was especially terrified. I can hardly get her to go out on a paddleboard out in the middle of the lake due to the unknown below. Adding in a haunted house and the possibility of drowning at any moment and she was often gasping for air and hiding her face as to not have to suffer like Tina and Ben.

Let me remind you, this film is not perfect, far from it actually. The movie will make you wish the main characters would just die. Ben is an asshat and super annoying. Tina is one of the biggest idiots in the world and will continually have you saying "Why did you do that girl?" It is still worth watching purely for the fact that it is an original idea.

I was surprised how much my girlfriend and I both enjoyed this. More often than not, the horror movies we watch on Hulu end up sucking. Occasionally there are gems like this one that leaves a positive impression. You should check it out if you are in the mood for something different and terrifying. Check out the trailer below.
