What if you took a haunted house movie… and put the entire haunted house at the bottom of a lake?
Welcome back to 31 SPOOKY MOVIES OF HALLOWEEN! 🎃
Today I’m reviewing THE DEEP HOUSE (2021), a movie with one of those horror concepts that immediately makes you wonder why nobody thought of it sooner.
A pair of divers discovers a perfectly preserved house submerged beneath the water. Naturally, instead of doing the sensible thing and swimming rapidly in the opposite direction, they decide to explore it.
And then they discover they may not be alone.
The underwater setting turns a familiar haunted-house story into something incredibly claustrophobic. You can’t run down the hallway. You can’t easily escape through a window. Every movement is slow, visibility is limited, and there’s the tiny additional inconvenience that YOU EVENTUALLY RUN OUT OF AIR.
I had a blast with this one. The atmosphere is terrific, the underwater photography gives the movie an identity all its own, and the basic idea of exploring a haunted house while scuba diving is so wonderfully insane that I was completely onboard.
No spoilers here — just my thoughts on what works, what doesn’t, and why THE DEEP HOUSE ended up being one of the more memorable discoveries of this year’s Halloween marathon.
And that is why you should make THE DEEP HOUSE one of your 31 Spooky Movies of Halloween.
