Deep Dark

Definitely a strange idea for a movie, as a down-on-his-luck artist rents a studio with some sort of unspecified monster behind a hole in the wall that speaks in a sexy woman’s voice and gives him brilliant artistic inspiration in exchange for increasing demands for attention, affection, and finally sex. Yes, with, essentially, a glory hole with teeth. And one that takes credit for the careers of a bunch of great 20th century artists. And as he falls for the gallery owner who falls for him for his new talent, the hole gets jealous, making for a few scenes of minor but visually imaginative gore.

It’s a B-movie but the whole thing is so bizarre it’s kind of charming. Unfortunately a weak ending keeps it from being recommendable as an oddity… a strong ending would have put it over the line for sure. This is the movie I created the “It’s Different” category for… the ones I can’t really recommend, but can’t consign to complete oblivion just because they’re effectively, well, different.
