Better have some notions of freediving to see
The Deep House
by Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury.
The director duo send the spectator and his heroes - couple of extreme videographers - to explore a house submerged under a lake where they will make lots of new friends not really nice.
Camille Rowe and James Jagger (Mick's son) embody the duo of divers facing an underwater haunted mansion that will increase the number of subscribers to their Youtube channel if they come out alive. “Initially, we planned to make a film that would take place 100% underwater, the protagonists of which would only communicate through sign language,” the filmmakers say at
20 Minutes
. Then we realized that we could not hold this concept for 90 minutes. "
The protagonists spend the majority of the film in high angle trying not to bump into the furniture of the house and then trying to escape all kinds of unfriendly creatures. "Camille and James really dived but they were also doubled by divers because it is impossible to impose eight hours underwater on non-professionals", explain the directors, known for
In the eyes of the living
and
Inside
. Very clever will be the viewer able to differentiate the stars from the liners as the suspense is captivating and the film devilishly directed.
The actors, very convincing, got wetter than the filmmakers!
“We were filming near Brussels, in the largest basin in Europe, the depth of which can be adjusted at will,” they remember.
We communicated our directions through underwater loudspeakers and filmed with four cameras from outside.
As there was a lot going on, there weren't too many four pairs of eyes to control everything!
This explains the mastery of dizzying shots in the heart of the building.
A treat for thrill lovers
"Our idea was to create a haunted house movie while having fun with the codes of the genre," insist the filmmakers.
The Deep House
brings together the ingredients of a good horror thriller and a great park attraction.
It is sweet to shiver with these two film-loving directors whom they practice as talented specialists.
In the dark water, you can hear howling.
