Up next from French filmmaker Mathieu Turi (Hostile, Meander) is The Deep Dark, which looks to be headed to theaters in France beginning on November 29, 2023.
We don’t yet have any idea when the film will be released here in the United States, but a French trailer for The Deep Dark has surfaced this week. You can check it out below.
The Deep Dark is said to have “Lovecraft vibes,” and the end of the trailer teases some kind of skeletal creature. My Bloody Valentine meets Lovecraftian creature feature? We like it.
The film is set in 1956, in the north of France…
“A band of underground miners is forced to lead a professor to take samples a thousand meters underground. After a landslide prevents them from going back up, they discover a crypt from another time, and unknowingly wake up something that should have remained asleep.”
Samuel Le Bihan, Amir El Kacem, Thomas Solivérès, Jean-Hugues Anglade, Marc Riso, Bruno Sanches, Diego Martin, and Philippe Torreton star.
“The Deep Dark (Gueules Noires) will be a mix of horror and adventure, in the best tradition of H.P. Lovecraft stories, but set in a French reality and a strong social context,” Turi said in a recent statement. “After Meander, I’m lucky enough to work again with FULLTIME STUDIO on this crazy project I deeply love. It’s going to be a character-driven story, confronting the old and the new generations in an exciting and terrifying quest to the unknown.”
