THE DEEP ONES

 DON'T BOTHER WITH THIS ONE

I've seen many cinematic travesties of and insults to the works of HP Lovecraft, but this one is THE WORST! It's really bad - and not in that good, fun way. Just terrible. It's like some drunken teenagers got their hands on a camera, hired some porn queens and some ham actors from Central Casting and made a movie while stoned out of their minds. You know it's bad when the director cites Robert Altman and Rosemary's Baby as influences on this piece of celluloid crap, but says Lovecraft experts will enjoy it. Then the leading lady says, "But what do experts know?" This flick has about as much to do with HP Lovecraft as Shakespeare had with space travel. They had no more business making a movie than I do performing brain surgery. I have nothing good to say about this one. Definitely NOT recommended. Go watch Re-Animator and Evil Dead II: Dead By Dawn, instead. THE DEEP ONES TRAILER
