Horror fans are given fewer and fewer original adventures each year, as remakes and sequels regularly prove to be financially successful, with this month's Underwater coming as a relief to audiences if only for it being a seemingly original concept. The film sees a group of underwater drillers in the deepest part of the ocean accidentally uncovering mysterious creatures, forcing them to find safe passage back to the surface. Despite still largely being an original concept, the film's director, William Eubank, has opened up about the film's H.P. Lovecraft influences and has even confirmed that the final monster seen in the film is one of the author's creations.
