Ari V @RT59419633 Aug 31, 2026 Much better than it seemingly has any right to be. In terms of: humor, thought experiment and its 'documentary elements.' Some fun acting too.

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.

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.

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.
