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.

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 got a terrible headache cause of that woman who yelled Ben Ben Ben all the time throughout the movie.

It just got kind of frustrating to watch. The story of this film and the plot of the events are nothing but a cliché of all similar horror films, except that this film is underwater and is not terrifying at all.

That's all I could hear and hard to see anything. This was just an all around terrible film. Ben, where are you? Screw you Ben! Don't leave me Ben! There is no way out Ben! The name of this movie should of been Ben! An underwater gem named Ben! Team Ben! I turned it off after the billionth Ben!

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.

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.

The logistics of making a film like 'The Deep House' are quite mind-blowing. I'd love to see a 'Making of' feature to see how they did it. The question of whether all the hard work that would've gone into it was worth it has a pretty simple answer: it was. Underwater is an epic setting for a found footage movie.

Having said that, it is not without its downsides too. It is a very dark film and can can be quite confusing and hard to track exactly what is happening a lot of the time. Also, if I'm not mistaken, the film isn't entirely found footage, as it is just too hard to expect characters underwater to be perfectly filming everything that goes on.

On the other side of the coin though, what is a more claustrophobic and creepy setting than deep under water? It just works perfectly. I found the two lead actors did a pretty good job too. For the majority of the film they are only really acting with their voices as we can't see their faces. They sold it for me. I enjoyed this one and while it didn't work in every aspect, there was enough here to keep it unique and watchable. Also stick around for a brief after-credits scene. 7/10.

This one takes place underwater 😂. After watching the trailer I thought it was going to be terrible. I liked the concept so I decided to give it a shot. Surprisingly it turned out to be a fairly decent film. Nothing special about it other then it taking place underwater. However! It flowed well and most importantly it kept my attention. I would definitely like to watch the making of this movie.

Underwater haunted house this idea was amazing and finally not a remake.

Really like this movie. Its well made, some good scars the story is normal but just the fact that its underwater makes it more scary.

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.

OK. As most reviewers have indicated, the concept is somewhat unique but the overall story is lacking character depth and better explanation.

The film quality was not bad but the dialogue didn't add much direction or give the viewer reasons to invest in the characters. There were a few creepy moments but nothing to rave about and there was, in my opinion, a lack luster ending.

Simply put, it wasn't awful but it has a long way to go before it can be compared to this directorial duo's brilliance displayed in their prior film "Inside".

It is a huge swing and a miss. The whole concept from the start was just amazing as you wonder what is going on, what is with this house under the water, and what is the mystery.

But then it just turned into a cliche pie of a generic overdone horror flick... well, except it is underwater.

I wish I didn't waste my time on this.

I enjoyed it. The ambiance, and some of the scenes, are suffocating/stressfull as hell. It's a good movie to watch alone with the sound UP!!!...or not. :/

What begins as a As Above So Below rip off descends into schlock nonsense by the end.

But on that journey the viewer does get treated to some spectacular underwater camera work - and all around production. Some of the shots later in the film are so startling, it makes me wonder if filming was intentionally restrained during the first act to increase later impact. Probably not! But kinda felt that way.

The story is super frustrating, predictable and disappointing. No meaningful rules are established, the horror is neither described nor satisfying in its mystery, and the ending? An attempt to get cute at the end just feels dumb. This movie could been saved by a good third act, and really (because of the loose nature of story telling) the third act could gone in many interesting directions.

Feels a lot like I'm describing a 4/10 movie at best, but I'm not exaggerating - the underwater production and shots are just incredible. Some very haunting imagery is there to be had. The moment to moment interaction, pacing, throughout the film is also sound. That includes dialog, acting - location... Deep House does stuff right.

I rarely go over a 5 for movies I feel struggle with story, but I had some fun with this one. 6 out of 10.

The larger problem I have is how annoying the main male character is. But, I guess this is needed as a plot contrivance or else the movie wouldn't happen. The majority of the plot is housed in a submerged house, and this didn't help with the movie. They follow a minor Lovecraftian plotting, but the set is waterlogged and confided, but only limits vision. Not scary or inventive.

The Deep House: A haunted house but this one is submerged. Two youtube bloggers, James Jagger and Camille Rowe travel to South West France to explore and film an underwater village in a flooded valley but find that that the lake is now a popular tourist and in any case the houses are in ruins. A local man offers to bring them to an isolated arm of the reservoir where an intact submerged house may be examined. Most of the film takes place underwater, the settings being eerie before they even penetrate the villa - a fish suddenly appearing is threatening, a floating doll in a room is eerie as any ghost. Dark deeds have occurred in this home with a memory of evil living on. The nature of the mystery is revealed as the divers discover artifacts and other clues. Some well portrayed scenes of horror with gruesomely imagined undead. The tension is well maintained as the couple struggle to survive. A satisfyingly nail biting horror thriller. Co -Directed & Co-Written by Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury. 8/10.

This is a unique and refreshingly original story, I can't remember the last time I watched something quite like it, so in that regard I was actually hooked until the very end. The concept is great and stands out in the same way cult favourites tend to when they gain a huge retrospective fan base several years/decades after its release.

Unfortunately I have to agree with most of the other reviewers, however, in that it's acted really poorly. Camille Rowe just about makes it, but James Jagger my goodness... every line is delivered like he's reading from a script in boredom, it's terrible. There's also a fair lack of explanation for the para/supernatural happenings and the reveal doesn't really give you all that much.

Nonetheless, I personally would actually love to see this film get the Hollywood treatment and be remade into something more coherent and impactful, similar to Goodnight Mommy. It's worth a watch, just with managed expectations.

Our introduction to the cast, a pair of actors (that's it folks), informs us they are social media influencers. Generally folks become influencers because they are dynamic or have great personalities or are at least mildly interesting. The dialog of these two is "stereotypical millennial" straight out of central casting. It's annoying at its best and boring at its worst.

After ten or so minutes of a triptik of these two, they don scuba suits and the rest of film takes place underwater in a submerged house. This should have been a good setting, except it plays no part in the plot. The entire movie could have been filmed on land without losing a step. Trapped in a haunted house is trapped in a haunted house, it's scary (or at least should) on land or at sea.

This movie is billed a horror thriller. It's neither. Tension is minimal. Zombies. Yawn.

Five stars for a novel concept which if done properly would have made for an interesting film. Minus two stars for giving the actors nothing meaningful to say and for failing to make use of the unique setting. Three stars.
