Alix Turner Ready Steady Cut 05/05/2021
1.5/5
Awful film that likes to think it's a modern, glamorous Lovecraft adaptation, but just looks cheap and sleazy. Go to Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed 05/01/2021
3.5/5
The Deep Ones is a low budget take on Lovecraft's work that modernizes the subject at hand and makes the most of it. Go to Full Review Mike McGranaghan Aisle Seat 04/25/2021
1/4
Writer/director Chad Ferrin doesn't build any mystery or suspense with the story. If you're going to adapt Lovecraft, shouldn't focusing on those things be your primary order of business? Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Kristian S. @NathanielEsquire Dec 12 Rented this out of a Redbox when Redbox was still a thing and I got maybe a quarter. Maybe halfway through before I ended up turning it off and returning it. Definitely a waste of money and not worth the watch. I can only hope the book is actually better. See more Fred L Apr 10 I dug it, Lovecraft on the cheap with blood, boobs and sea monsters! See more Logan D 09/19/2024 A couple having issues getting pregnant decide to rent and ABnB near the coast. The locals are weird. The key to Lovecraft's stories is this growing sense of dread. Characters will be provoked to investigate an event and as the exploration continues, they slowly become overwhelmed psychologically by the situations confronting them. And we, the readers, cannot predict what is to come. Not so with this film! It's a straight forward and dull plot with only some momentary unintentional laughs to entertain the viewer. Sadly, cannot recommend. Instead, seek out Dagon, 2001, directed by Stuart Gordon or The Haunted Palace, 1963, directed by Roger Corman. The Deep Ones is only for Lovecraft movie completists. And even then, just barely See more John H 04/18/2023 I absolutely love H.P. Lovecraft. He is the absolute master of horror, and everything good in this movie owes it to Lovecraft. Everything that brings it down (poor acting, laughable tentacles) owes it to what must have been one of the lowest budgets to ever produce a movie. I knew better than to spend time watching this movie, but I am a sucker for ANY HP Lovecraft material. I recommend this ONLY for Lovecraft addicts. Everyone else should stay very far away. See more 02/03/2022 This was a bad and cheap retelling of a classic story See more 07/03/2021 If i could go zero i would. This movie is so bad if you paid me to sit in the theatre i wouldnt even watch it. Rather watch paint dry See more Read all reviews
