Review of The Deep House (2021) by hmmadness79: 👍 4.5/10

It was a unique location with a house under water that ends up haunted or has undead. Something like a cross between them.

It has some cool shots and the location is different with a cool backstory even if the person who brought you was very obviously bad.

There are a few jump scares and being trapped underwater does give it a claustrophobic feel for alot of it. I do like it is a shorter movie, not everything has to be a sweeping epic.

That said it does have long periods of build up or searching so they cram a lot in the end adding a ton of story. Also besides hating Ben I don't really feel any connection or care about the other characters.
