Review Tuesday: Gods of the Deep (2023)

 

Gods of the Deep

2023 

A deep-water expedition discovers something horrific. 

My friend and I were watching something else on AMAZON, I can't remember what, and this came up right afterwards. It looked pretty good and it gets good marks from the Lovecraft fans so we came back to it.

 

For a fan of HPL, this movie starts off in an exciting way. There are tons of callbacks and references to the works of Lovecraft. The movie starts off really well. The story makes sense. A group of scientists discovers what looks like a giant gate at the deepest depths of the ocean that man was able to explore. A team is assembled and they go to investigate. Once they get there, a Lovecraftian horror commences! 

 

The movie started off pretty well. It went well until Cthulhu shows up. The special effects were basic at best. That was fine. But after that scene, the movie kinda loses focus and drags. It went from fun to dull within the span of minutes. It became very disappointing very quickly. 

 

Yeah, disappointing is a good way to put it.
