The Deep House

2021 · 85 min

Claustrophobic and waterlogged, it traps you in a slow-dread dive where every breath feels borrowed and the walls seem to close in.

Directed by: Alexandre Bustillo, Julien Maury
Genres: Horror
Starring: James Jagger, Camille Rowe, Éric Savin

Tagline: Breathe while you still can.
Overview: While diving in a remote French lake, a couple of YouTubers who specialise in underwater exploration videos discover a house submerged in the deep waters. What was initially a unique finding soon turns into a nightmare when they discover that the house was the scene of atrocious crimes. Trapped, with their oxygen reserves falling dangerously, they realise the worst is yet to come: they are not alone in the house.
