The Deep Ones (also known as H.P. Lovecraft's the Deep Ones or H.P. Lovecraft was a Deep One) is a 2020 American horror science fiction film written and directed by Chad Ferrin and based on H.P. Lovecraft's 1931 novel The Shadow over Innsmouth. A couple that is recovering from a recent miscarriage encounters overly friendly locals and strange goings-on at a coastal getaway.
This movie may have the least behind the scenes info of any movie i have talked about before, and IMDB's top review of this movie is a 1/10 stars. The 10 star reviews say its a riotously entertaining classic drive-in creature feature horror movie, and the bad ones say its the equivalent of watching paint dry with very little opinions in-between. i suppose that leaves me to be the middle man, so lets talk about this insanely weird ass movie
This movie is real bad at first impressions. all of this movies acting is bad, the characters are totally unlikeable, the script feels like a first draft, but the pacing picks up pretty fast and shit gets weird even faster. Within the first 20 minutes we get a tentacle fetus homoerotic boat scene, and this movies keeps the nasty practical effects and wacky neighbors coming to stop you from getting to bored.
In someone else's hands i could see this being an effectively bizarre little indie film, but this is the laziest movie i have ever seen in all aspects. i sense nobody involved was passionate about making this, and i will die happy never seeing it again.
i had to pause for a second, and i couldn't for the life of me finish this shit storm
4/10
