The Descent\u2018s subterranean claustrophobia meets Lovecraftian cosmic horror in the trailer for The Deep Dark.<\/p>\n

Written and directed by Mathieu Turi (Meander<\/a>), the French creature feature will be awakened on VOD in the US and UK on March 24 via 4Digital Media.<\/p>\n

Set in 1950s France, a team of miners are forced to escort a professor underground in the name of research. But when a landslide prevents them from going back up, they discover a crypt from another time, unknowingly waking a bloodthirsty creature.<\/p>\n

Samuel Le Bihan (Brotherhood of the Wolf), Amir El Kacem, Jean-Hugues Anglade (Taking Lives), Thomas Soliv\u00e9r\u00e8s (The Intouchables), Bruno Sanches, Diego Mart\u00edn (REC 3: Genesis), Marc Riso, and Philippe Torreton (District 13: Ultimatum) star.<\/p>\n

The Deep Dark hit the festival circuit in 2023, playing the likes of Fantastic Fest, Sitges, Screamfest, Toronto After Dark, and FrightFest Glasgow.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Deep Dark\u00a0may not reach the highest highs of other, similar films, but it\u2019s a perfectly adequate way to spend part of an afternoon,\u201d Trace Thurman wrote in his review<\/a>. \u201cExemplary creature design and gag-inducing practical effects make up for the the film\u2019s workmanlike quality in other areas.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
