Horror Short Deep End

 

If you’re looking to up the creep factor with your Fourth of July festivities, we’ve found the perfect pairing for your annual rewatches of holiday horror favorites like Jaws and I Know What You Did Last Summer — Anthony Sellitti’s terrifying short film, “Deep End“!

Check out Bloody Disgusting’s exclusive short debut below.

When an adventurous young boy (Cardin Benjamin) sneaks into a seemingly serene swimming pool on a hot summer day, he discovers what lurks beneath the surface is more terrifying than he ever could have imagined. Clocking under five minutes, this short aquatic horror film artfully evokes a timeless sense of summer nostalgia, while also tapping into the universal childhood memories of swimming in a pool, where the deep end and the unknown abyss beneath our feet filled our minds with fear.


If Jaws made you afraid of the ocean,  “Deep End” will definitely make you think twice about jumping into the pool!

Sellitti, who is currently a writer on Marvel’s forthcoming “X-Men ‘97” Disney+ series, co-wrote the spooky short with Zachary Donohue (The Den, The Unknowable). The two produced “Deep End” alongside fellow producer/director of photography Bernard Hunt (Killer Among Us, The Den). Sellitti is represented by WME and 3 Arts Entertainment and Donohue is represented by Entertainment 360.

You can check out the short, which was impressively filmed underwater and boasts effective practice effects, in full below. And don’t forget to sound off in the comments with your own favorite Fourth of July horror watches!
