Film last night watched called Gods of the Deep. I'm sure you can guess what's it's about. It's sort of feels like The Meg meets Alien; I feel strongly both of those movies served as inspiration for this one. Obviously it's not Alien level or anything though, probably not even Meg (the first one) level either. Kinda forgettable and eh, but to its credit I think it has decent special effects and acting for a lower budget project. The shortcomings mostly lie in the story and pacing, but it's a rather short film at under 90 minutes so I guess that's understandable. The film attempts to give a few of the characters backstories but it's hard to do with such a limited amount of time and a crew style cast setup. I doubt many Lovecraft fans will like how the Deep One is portrayed here either really, though it's never explicitly said what it actually is, you just guess at that based on the design choice.

Definitely skippable, but there haven't been a lot of films from this subgenre lately that I've seen so it might be able to scratch that itch, mildly.
