The Deep Ones (2020)
7/10
Tongue in Cheek Throwback to VHS era horror
24 October 2022
Buying straight to video horror is a crap shoot. I got this solely because it was based on Lovecraft. The opening scene of a busty nude actress running from something on the beach in pitch darkness immediately tells you this is a throwback to exploitation films of old.

The movie has a sense of humor about itself, but such a sense of humor that devolves into parody. The acting is solid in an 80s straight to video way, and the whole thing is interesting enough to keep you there for ending, and weird enough to warrant a rewatch later. Recommended for anyone who enjoys 1970s exploitation or 1980s direct to video horror.
