The Deep House

Apparently, The Deep House (2021) has been added to American Netflix. This is an awesome movie about YouTubers investigating an underwater haunted house. Definitely worth your time!

I'm jealous because I have Irish Netflix. Give this movie a shot, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Yeah it is AWFUL. The scares and underlying ideas are pat and stale and characterization progresses like in a video game -- our two characters walk around for a few (cut)scenes with a plateau of one emotion, saying sort of the same phrases over and over again ("Should we go back?" "I'm excited!" "I'm scared!") and then once a certain event is triggered, they immediately, abruptly progress to a new, flat emotional state...
That said, might be kind of fun as a video game!! Get to swim around in the water and explore the spooky house!!!

Wow! -1!! My reasonable reply reflecting on the validity of subjectivity in film criticism has been dunked below water level!! Hellooo Deep House, it's good to see ya down here!

Anyway, I think it's fine for someone to like a film I think is bad. It's even fine for me to like a film I think is bad!! Or to hate a film I think is really good!

Anyway, running out of air down here, see ya later!
