A taut genre exercise in fear and tension, The Deep Dark in its best moments leaves us as breathless as it does its motley collection of desperate, trapped miners. Go to Full Review Julian Singleton Cinapse Jul 11
Mathieu Turi’s period horror film is a lean, mean creature feature that manages to evoke a wide range of Francophone frights, including claustrophobic suspense and dread, buckets of gore, and plenty of cosmic terrors for knowing fans of weird tales. Go to Full Review Jorge Loser Espinof 10/09/2024
4/5
Alain Duplantier shows a crystalline contrast between illuminated characters, darkness, and shadow, which ensures that you see only what you have to see. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film 03/11/2024
3.5/5
It’s in [its] understanding of working life that the film really excels, and it’s refreshing to see working class characters given centre stage in a story like this. Go to Full Review Kat Hughes THN 03/08/2024
3/5
The Deep Dark is a must-watch for fans of practical effects and nightmarish monsters as the creature is a stunningly realised bloodthirsty beast. Go to Full Review Rob Hunter Film School Rejects 02/09/2024
A low budget keeps its ambition from tipping over into greatness, but it still delivers chills and a solid creature feature down in the dark. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

CaveMan I 09/18/2024 Absolutely a French masterpiece: A very well executed horror movie, I knew it from the beginning it's gonna be a good fucked up horror movie like any other French horror movies I have seen. For me it's a 8 out 10 🖤🖤🖤 See more Tessa Y 07/20/2024 This movie was really gripping and genuinely horrifying. My biggest complaint is that the monster should have always been partially shadowed. What you don't see is worse than what you do, and the best parts were when I was trying to figure out what it was. See more Plor E 07/01/2024 Vraiment très très sympa, un bon film d'horreur français avec un bon contexte et une belle mise en scène. See more 06/20/2024 Simple and efficient with some very interesting sets and designs. It's a cool idea that I hope will bear fruit to more releases from this director. See more Q S 05/31/2024 For those who love movies with great actors, creepy locations and a unique and frightening old-fashion practical f--- monster, THIS IS FOR YOU! See more Read all reviews
