Morocco 1956; Amir (Amir El Kacem) is only a few days into his
job as a coalminer on Devil's Island when his foreman Rokabd (Samuel Le
Bihan) chooses him and a few others to go on a special nussuuib wutg ibe
Professor Bertguer /Jean-Hugues Anglade) to some sealed off and forgotten
mineshafts to look for some artifacts. The professor is very unspecific
about the nature of these artifacts, but he carries quite a bit bribe
money on him for everybody to look the other way. So it's not until
they're in the old mind shafts that Amir finds out from some old Arabian
inscriptions - he's the only one from Roland's team to speak and
read Arabian - that the professor is looking for traces of some "Old
Gods". Of course, this sounds like nothing more than an old wives tale -
until our heroes have to realize there's something in the shafts with
them, and that something's intent on murdering them - and there's no way
out ... Now I would be lying if I said The Deep Dark
is a perfect film - for one it spends too long on its set-up, indlucing
giving Amir an utterly pointless and inconclusive backstory, and for two
to have the mineshaft shenes only lit by the characters' headlights might
add realism but just confuses the audience and mars the efficiency of
several setpieces. But that said, as a horror fan one can't but love the
movie's Lovecraftian premise, the overall clever script, and the creature,
once we get to see it, is first rate creepy. So not a perfect movie maybe,
but if you're into horror this one's well worth a watch for sure.
