Wow! Such a good movie.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This movie is terrible. It's about a guy who wants to be an artists and so he moves into an apartment in search in inspiration. There is a hole in the wall that may or may not have some demon inside that talks to him and helps make him a good artist. Soon - he has his art in the hands of the hot art dealer babe and he is on top of his game - and in no time flat there is hell to pay. The script is atrocious. The writer could have used some better dialogue and some more character development - but no such luck.There is a woman in this film who plays a hot art dealer and she is great. She is the only thing in the movie worth watching. I give this movie 1 stars for the script, acting and cinematography - and 2 stars because the actress who plays the art dealer was worth watching. In fact - this movie had been all about her - and how she falls in love with a new art guy - only to learn that he had sold his soul to the devil for his brilliance. Instead it was about him - and it sucked.

I'm blown away by the glowing reviews given by some of the viewers of this film. (People who are part of the production team perhaps?) This movie has no redeemable qualities. The characters are incredibly one dimensional and unlikable. I believe this movie is making an attempt at being a horror comedy, however, it just ends up being extremely awkward for the viewer. No humorous moments. No scary moments. No thrilling moments. Just scene after scene of: When will we get to the point? SPOILER: It never comes. There is no explanation for why the wall talks, where it gets the items for the mobiles, what the finished mobiles even look like, why the wall bleeds, why the artist's uncle send him there... I could go on and on with the unanswered and pointless questions that arise in this movie. My suggestion: Save yourself some time and skip this movie.

I am really stumped with this review...and that almost never happens. Despite having written thousands of reviews, I have just found a movie that really defies description. It even makes me wonder whether I liked it or not. I am just not sure what "Deep Dark" is all about and it might be worth seeing again or seeing it with friends and discussing it afterwords. It's THAT unusual and thought-provoking.Seth McGrath stars as Hermann, a young man with absolutely no artistic talent whatsoever....none. Yet, inexplicably he's convinced himself he's a great artist and he just needs to get others to see his work and then they'll be convinced as well. Unfortunately, his mobiles are junk...and everyone thinks so. On a lark, he decides to move into one of his uncle's apartments for two weeks to devote himself solely to creating a masterpiece. Soon, however, something REALLY, REALLY weird occurs. Behind a small hole in the wall comes the voice of a lovely woman and it not only talks to Hermann but spits out odd things (I have no idea exactly WHAT this stuff is) and Hermann incorporates them into his mobiles....and he becomes an instant success. But what about the woman behind the wall and what is the stuff it gives him? Well, it's not exactly a woman...in fact, it isn't exactly human. As for the art material, God only knows! Exactly what is it? I have no idea...but the thing behind the wall with a beautiful voice has a lamprey-like portion to it and it really, really loves Hermann...both emotionally and sexually. I still cannot wrap my head around the scene where Hermann is having sexual relations with the hole in the wall...but it does the trick and gives it inspiration and soon it begins spitting out other weird things for Hermann's mobiles. Does this sound weird? You betcha! But it only gets weirder and bloodier and more and more difficult to describe!So is this a comedy or a horror film or a fantasy film? Well, it certainly has elements of each. But there's also a certain strangeness, an absurdity that leaves the viewer confused-- especially at the end. This ending might keep people thinking and wondering a long time as to what, exactly, happened. Overall, I think I liked it. The plot is highly original, the music is amazingly good and the acting and direction are quite good. Credit for the story and direction all go to the same person, Michael Medaglia--a young and relatively inexperienced newcomer to films. As for the story and its meanings...well, I would really love some second (and third and fourth...) opinions! It has a lot to like and appreciate...but it also made my brain hurt just a bit and left me confused. Overall, I'd say that this is the perfect film for someone wanting something different...very, very different! Perhaps it would make a perfect entry into my "You Ain't Seen Nothing' Yet" series... Plus I did see quite a bit of promise from this uber- weird movie.

So I was just thoroughly impressed. After watching this movie I felt the way I felt after seeing Momento or Rushmore or Pi or Being John Malkovich or Maelstrom or Cube or I Stand Alone - you know, when you see a movie and you realize there's a director out there who has this unique vision of the world and through whatever luck and circumstance required they were allowed to make a movie. It's great when the talented visionary messed up people who really should be making movies actually get to make one, that's what I was reminded of watching this. A masterful understanding of tone and pacing in a film that uses body horror undercut with deadpan humor in a way that is unique (yes, unique even though it's 2015 and unique seems like a relic in the rebooted franchise obsessed wasteland of modern cinema). This well shot, well written, well edited and well acted (Anne Sorce was absolutely amazing in what appears to be her first big on screen role) film made by a visionary whose love of movies is paralleled by his respect for the Audience (i.e. what I said about pacing - this is how you cut a movie, people! Seriously, take note). And yes, I will be procuring this in the future to watch it again, but more important, I can't wait to see what the guy who made this makes next time. I don't usually get to have this much fun watching a movie but when I do I really really appreciate it.
