“The Deep House” – A new and very promising scuba-horror flick!

by

2020 was a really good year for scuba movies.

2 new, pretty great scuba flicks came out:

“Breaking Surface” and “Deep Blue Sea 3” were both very interesting fresh scuba flicks that provided a LOT of good scenes!

But what about this year?

Well, I heard about “The Deep House” last year, but so far the info was very limited and besides a poster, there was nothing much to post about.

That has changed now! 🙂

Here is the general storyline:

A young and modern couple who go to France to explore an underwater house and share their findings on social media undergoes a serious change of plans when the couple enters the interior of a strange house located at the bottom of the sea and their presence awakens a spirit dark that haunts the house.

–

So, I would say it’s very certain that we get some scuba peril scenes in this one 😉

Here are some selected promo pictures:

And here is the movie poster:

–

So, you already can spot some scuba peril scenes on those pictures, so I am very thrilled about this one!

Not everyone is a fan of Full Face Masks, but I do like them. The black wetsuits are nice and I really like that they both are wearing these BCDs where the buoyancy body is only on the back of the diver.

So the sight to the front…. isn’t “obscured” 😉

Hard to say how they will portray this evil “spirit”, but we get some impressions from the upcoming trailer.

The movie will be released in France on June 30……so, we should get a trailer very soon! 🙂

The brave frogwoman, the dolphin and the hysterical frogwoman

by

[2nd post for today, another one below]

Diving with serious anxiety issues isn’t the best idea. And so is diving with someone who easily freaks out because of nothing.

In this episode, you can find two interesting scenes which show what can happen….

Preview, scene 1:

Frogwoman 1
Frogwoman 2
Lots of fish!
Trouble!

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

–

Yeah, if your dive buddy panics….you are into deep trouble! And here that frogwoman panics out of nothing….as she is scared as there are so many fish around her….

Haven’t seen the whole episode, so I don’t know what’s behind her issues. But underwater, freaking out like that can easily kill you and your dive buddy.

Quite a nice peril scene though…and I like those Interspiro Divator masks 🙂

–

Preview, scene 2:

A little trip in the submarine
D’Oh!
Trouble…again!
Trapped inside the submarine, their air is running out! They need to use their scuba tanks…

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

–

Yeah, the effects aren’t good as the toy model gets buried by false rocks 😉 , but ok, it’s a TV show.

Quite a cool scene as they are trying to escape the submarine, then depend on their scuba tanks to survive inside the submarine until they are finally rescued.

Damn, why I never find a submarine with trapped frogwomen inside? 😉

I don’t know why the blonde frogwoman let ….the unstable….woman drive that sub, but there can’t be a good reason for that.

I certainly wouldn’t let her drive that thing with her backstory (scene 1 + probably much more).

But ok, she did it and we got this scene… 🙂

Wanna know from which episode this is?

Quite odd, in the link it says episode 19…but it’s 20 to my knowledge.

Flipper, the female diver and a great white shark

by

[1st post for today, another one will follow]

The new(er) Flipper TV show offers a lot of scenes with female scuba divers as you may already know.

I already posted some of them and today I wanna present another one!

Preview:

Our diver….
…is in danger!
Can she get help from the nearby sub?

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

–

A fine peril scene, even it has some obvious flaws 😉

Ok, don’t know if any dolphin could distract/fend off a great white shark…but that’s one of the less problematic points. Still, the shark is so much faster than she is, he could easily catch up with her again, even there is Flipper around.

I don’t remember the full episode but she obviously has some trauma with sharks. Which is quite a problem if you work half the time underwater as she does in her job….

But overall the scene has its plus points as well. I always enjoy seeing women in full-face masks in action. Quite rare stuff, even today.

If I would ever make a shark movie, I guess these sharks would be trained to have a taste for air hoses instead of human meat 😆

With all the crazy shark movies out there, I wonder why no one did that so far. 😉

There is another scene with her in scuba gear as she tags a shark from a really thin shark cage. But that’s very short and without action.

Flipper and the female scuba diver in peril (2 videos)

by

Time for 2 more scenes from Flipper (the newer series)!

This episode has 2 really good peril scenes with a frogwoman that keeps getting in trouble underwater! 😉

I divided it into 2 videos as there was so much material.

–

Preview, Scene 1:

But someone gets….
….in trouble!

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the 1st video:

–

A really fine peril scene….and a rather unusual one!

She was lucky this time…. but she soon gets into trouble again.

Will she get out of it alive again?

——–

 

Preview, Scene 2:

Flipper is trapped!
And so is she!
Entangled in the net!

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the 2nd video:

–

Well, as soon she was trying to free Flipper it was rather obvious what would happen 😉

Divers in movies have the tendency of losing their knives and getting entangled in the net, so they would need to be saved.

Here is seems quite strange that she couldn’t get out of the net as it clearly looks as she should be able to get out of it in some scenes.

But well, then we wouldn’t have the fine scene in the show 😉

Another standard trope was missing this time. Normally when a scuba diver in a movie or TV show gets trapped he/she normally has only a few % of air left… 😉

I like how they all work together here to free her and Flipper from the net.

And I also enjoy how many scenes with women in full-face scuba masks this show has to offer. 🙂

The frogwoman and the gill man

by
[2nd post for today]

Time for some scenes from a movie that is more than 65 years old!

A “gill man” gets captured and placed into a big pool for study and to entertain the visitors of the aqua park.

A woman and a man use some high end scuba gear (for that time) to “train” him.

Of course the gil man gets interested in her and doesn’t want to be chained to the bottom of the pool 😉

Preview:

Getting ready…
…to dive!
The creature wants to “play” with her!

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

The frogwoman and the gill man

(on google drive)

–

Posted it on Youtube, but it was blocked right away….

 

These full face scuba masks with radio must have been very high end back in 1955.

But I haven’t seen these in other movies of the time. I guess they had some problems or were very expensive.

The scenes are very interesting even I wish the creature would have wrestled a little longer with her….perhaps even grabing for her scuba mask or air hose.

However it was good to have some scuba peril in this one. Surely one of the earliest scenes like that in (movie-) history.

The frogwoman, the U-boat and nazi gold

by

So, one last post for 2020!

In this episode of Flipper, we have plenty of diving scenes. And they involve a sunken U-boat and nazi gold!

Besides the main scene at the end of the episode, I will post here another one that is placed a little earlier in the episode.

Preview:

What do you want now Flipper?
Exploring the U-boat
Gooooold!

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

–

Yeah, a nice scuba scene! I like her wetsuit and her FFM.

Also, the fact that they get trapped there while the bomb is ticking is a solid peril scenario.

In my version, the two would have encountered 3 or 4 evil male and female scuba divers who would want that gold for themselves. 😉

And then an epic scuba battle in the U-boat would begin…..

But well, perhaps next time….

–

As a little bonus I wanna present the scuba scene in which the bomb was planted as well:

–

Both scenes can be found in this episode:

The martial arts frogwoman from hungary

by

First of all thanks to the guy who recommended me a video from this TV show and also to Scuba Snooper who uploaded a video from it on youtube!

I asked for the title of the untitled video and not only got the title but the link for the whole episode!

Couldn’t ask for anything more….. 🙂

I checked the whole episode and found a lot more interesting scenes, so I decided to make my own version with all the female scuba scenes below and above the surface.

But enough text for now, let’s start with some pictures:

Preview:

There she is our frogwoman!
….what is going on here? 😉
Scuba fight! From her perspective!
Can she win against the evil frogman?

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

–

So, I don’t understand Hungarian (surprise!)…but from what I understand of the episode so far…some villains are searching in that lake for treasure.

One of the evil guys turns against the other one and drowns him as he finds something (a rather disappointing scene).

The dead frogman gets found by the police. For some reason, the TV show’s lead actress gets her hands on his wetsuit and starts wearing that men’s suit.

We can clearly see that it doesn’t fit her very well as she is surprised by that guy. Logically it’s pretty loose. (DAMN!)

One of the good guys has to help the bad guys in recovering the treasure (the guy in the full-face scuba mask).

They decide to get rid of him and close the valve so he doesn’t get any oxygen while being trapped underwater!

Lucky for him our frogwoman shows up just in time.

But she has to fight off the evil guy in the red wetsuit first. As she is a trained martial arts expert…she uses her elbow to hit him right in the face, seemingly breaking his nose.

–

Of course, there are some minus points. Her wetsuit is way too loose, the visibility is rather bad, and the a language problem. A shame the villainess doesn’t dive at the end and is only be seen exiting the water in her blue wetsuit very early on. Would have been great to have the two frogwomen fighting against each other at the end of the episode.

But this episode has a LOT to offer! Some great vintage wetsuits and nice diving scenes. Also, I like how the villains try to drown that guy, a really hideous way….

The highlight is of course the scuba fight where our frogwoman has to face the evil guy in the red wetsuit! It could have been longer, but I really like the intensity. Filming through her scuba mask for a second or two was an awesome idea! Don’t know why that wasn’t done more often.

Also, it’s great that she let out some “grunting” noises to illustrate the intensity of the fight as she has to defend herself against his scuba knife.

A caged frogwoman, a gigantic shark and Jason Statham

by

This post is long overdue! I was pretty sure that I posted about the movie as soon it hit the theaters back then, but not here on the blog.

This movie has one really GREAT scuba peril scene and I made two videos to incl. the whole scene without making a too long video.

Nonetheless, it was blocked on Youtube but in this case “only” in France and some french overseas islands/regions. So 99% should be able to see it.

This movie has gigantic Megalodon sharks and obviously, you shouldn’t take it as a “realistic” movie. You should just have fun watching it.

I am pretty sure there isn’t a single really realistic shark movie anyhow…so…no need to care about the realism in it 😉

We have a yacht full of folks who wanna catch a living Megalodon.

Of course, it’s not as easy as they thought…..

Preview, part 1:

Getting ready….
….to dive!
Somewhere in the darkness around her the MEG is ready to attack…..

And here is the video:

Preview, part 2:

She is loosing oxygen!
Can she be….
….rescued in time?

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

–

 

[Watch the videos before you continue!]

[Watch the videos before you continue!]

That was quite a ride for her….

Not exactly a nice thought of being stuck in the mouth of that MEG!

Her wetsuit is quite sexy for a modern suit and it’s nice that she doesn’t have a BCD.

Bingbing Li does a good job in the movie and here in this scuba scene!

I love the tension as she is alone in that cage, she knows the shark is somewhere, and we can clearly hear her exhaling through the scuba mask.

And the air loss peril scene is just great! I am not 100% sure if it is realistic, as I think that the actual incoming air gets only in the “closed” area around the mouth (unless you wanna clear the whole mask underwater). Also, her air is depleting too fast in my opinion when we see the percentages going down rapidly.

But anyhow, I love the sound of the exiting air and her reaction to it. The sentence: “My mask is broken, I’m losing air!”….pure gold. 😉

I think it was a wise choice to leave the mask on even as her oxygen was gone. With the mask on she couldn’t inhale water, she was “just” passing out.

As you can see here, the movie features an actress which plays a MASSIVE role on my other blog. In this movie, I actually really saw her for the first time.

“Breaking Surface” – My review….2 videos and much more!

by

After a really long time of waiting for this movie, I was finally able to see it last Thursday.

I could have seen it already but I wanted a full HD picture and a language I can actually understand.

The german blu-ray has the original language on it (Swedish) and a german language option of course. You can switch on german subtitles as well.

I watched the movie in german once and watched the underwater scenes again a day later with original Swedish audio and German subtitles.

The movie has a runtime of 82 minutes. At least 40(!) minutes of that is placed underwater! You won’t find many movies that can offer that….especially with female divers.

And it’s pretty unique because there are actually no sharks or other creatures in it like in the horror flicks (examples: “47 meters down” and “47 meters down – Uncaged”).

It’s a survival movie. Two sisters fight to survive a really bad situation underwater.

Ida (Moa Gammel)
Tuva (Madeleine Martin)

Also, after 9 minutes in….you won’t find a single man in the whole rest of the movie! As far I can remember that happens only in one other movie I have in my movie collection: “The Descent”, where 6 women explore a cave system and encounter some monsters there. I know quite a lot of movies with no women in them (mostly war movies) but the other way around is a rare thing.

The fact that there are over 40 minutes of underwater scenes in the movie is awesome but turns out to be kind of problematic for this post. I won’t show all of them of course. But which scenes should I present here?

Also I don’t wanna show scenes with major spoilers to the story here.

Today in this post I wanna present two scenes to motivate you to buy and watch this movie. More on that….later.

For now, let’s start with….

Scene 1!

Preview:

Checking the ship’s propellers…
…now the bow trusters…
Wanna guess what happens next? 😉

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

–

A nice peril scene for starters! Even it was pretty predictable….and hard to understand what the idiots on the bridge were doing as it was known that she was working down there.

A good idea of her to get rid of her tank to jam the propeller, as it was pretty much her only option besides waiting for those idiots to turn it off. But then it might have been too late….

–

Scene 2

Tuva, the younger sister is trapped behind a rock at 32 meters depth! Her oxygen is gone and Ida hastily returns to her with a full tank…

 

Preview:

Her tank is totally empty….Tuva needs air quickly!!
Ida…
…has switched back to her full face dive mask

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

–

Great scenes! It’s no secret that I really like scuba peril scenes. And seeing both of them here in desperate need of air….is quite …well….sexy 😉

Also, the swapping with their full-face dive masks and their “normal” scuba masks is also interesting! I normally like full-face dive masks, but I must say this Ocean Reef mask with the fully transparent faceplate isn’t so attractive in comparison to other masks like the Interspiro mask that Tania Raymonde is using in Deep Blue Sea 3.

–

Now back to the movie in general.

It has some flaws, no doubt. The scene above with Ida looking for that oxygen tank for example.

She is without air for around 130 seconds! She is not a professional diver like her little sister and isn’t a really good athlete or in great shape. I hardly doubt that she could hold her breath that long while being in such a stressful situation. Her sister is trapped, she is without air, searching for that oxygen tank in the darkness. She gets lost for a while and yet is pretty calm as she finally reaches Tuva again…

I would have shortened that scene. Let her dive without air for 60 seconds and then swim back on the brick of total panic. That would be more dramatic and more realistic in that case. Yes, there are apnoe divers that can go on much longer without air….but Ida isn’t one, she is highly stressed and not in a condition to stay without air that long.

–

Another thing is that tank she is searching for. I checked the scenes several times and can’t explain where it is coming from. It appeared out of nowhere! Where did Ida get that from?

Spoiler title
They start with their tanks on the dive. 2 tanks are lost due to the rock slide. 2 tanks are in the car. That leaves 4 usable tanks. Both swap their tanks once and that tank is suddenly there as well. Really odd…..

–

Also, a big rock falls on Tuva. She is trapped under it but isn’t hurt at all!? I guess that is ….possible…but damn, a “little” hard to buy. But in the end, it has to be like that so that the story could develop like it does.

There are one or two other aspects but I don’t wanna sound too negative.

 

All in all it is a really good, thrilling movie! The desperate atmosphere is suspenseful and I tried to come up with solutions myself as Ida is trying to free her sister from down below! And as I said, more than 40 minutes of underwater scenes with women in one movie is pretty unique, especially without CGI sharks or other monsters.

Both actresses did a really good job and did most of the underwater scenes themselves after they both learned to scuba dive for the movie as I heard from an interview with the director (on the Blu-ray).

Ok, the drysuits aren’t exactly attractive, but well it’s Norway and not the Caribbean. Also, the darkness below at over 30 meters adds to the grim survival-fight-atmosphere. It wouldn’t work that well in a bright, beautiful setting like in the Bahamas for example.

Folks, I can only recommend this movie to you! This movie belongs in every collection of someone who likes survival movies OR scuba movies OR movies with female divers OR movies with scuba peril scenes.

So folks, ORDER this movie. BUY this movie!

Such movies must be supported, so other producers would make movies with scuba scenes too!

Scuba scenes are expensive, many producers are afraid of doing them.

This year there were two new movies with great scuba scenes…I hope that is a new trend!

–

The German Blu-ray has some extras:

  • Trailer (pretty useless as you see that before you watch the movie)
  • an automated picture “show” with music (end credits song)
  • an interview with the director (16 minutes, interesting!)

I had hoped for a “Behind the scenes” feature as well…but no luck.

Oddly enough I am sure I saw such a video floating around the web some months ago. It was rather short but interesting and showed the filming in a water tank.

–

….so, this post is long enough now…

I will post more about this movie another time.

I have some story ideas of my own on this one. 😉
