#The Directors Of Inside Revitalize The Haunted House Movie By Sinking It Underwater

Ben (James Jagger, son of Mick) and Tina (Camille Rowe) are YouTubers who specialize in spooky places. We first meet them as they navigate dry land, looking for allegedly haunted locations. And then the duo learns of someplace new: a sanatorium submerged in an artificial lake in France. It sounds too good to be true. And it is, because once our pair of video explorers show up at the spot they’re meant to dive, they find it’s an overcrowded tourist attraction, thus ruining their plans to get some good underwater footage. But Ben, who clearly seems to be into the whole YouTube channel idea more than Tina, won’t give up so easily. A local (Éric Savin) tells them of a more secretive location with another artificially submerged location that has a sunken mansion, untouched and unfound. 

Now, you or I may think twice about following a complete stranger in a foreign country to a secluded spot. But Ben really wants those YouTube hits! So off they go, strapping on their diving gear and plunging into the murky depths. The out-of-water stuff is fine, but it’s when our two ghost hunters sink themselves below the surface that “The Deep House” really comes to life. The imagery here — a sunken car, a locked gate that the couple swims over, and the sprawling mansion itself — is bathed in cloudy blue-green light, lending a chilly, drenched atmosphere. The inherent shadows of underwater darkness lend an instant touch of menace, and when the couple swims up to an open attic window of the mansion to enter, we’re immediately uneasy. And with good reason.
