I am utterly surprised by the low rating of this movie. The movie's plot is entirely new and exciting. The movie grips you throughout the movie and you want to know what's next. Absolutely brilliant direction,acting,concept and storyline. The movie tells about a hole in the wall which can talk and fulfills your fantasies but it comes at a price.The concept of greed and love are depicted which make the movie different from the others. The concept of a good ghost also makes it different. The comedy at the start and different goofs also make you laugh. A definite must watch for all horror thriller genre fans!!

So I read a bunch of the reviews, expecting to see something interesting, new, vibrant and great. What I got was an terrible pile of crap. The character development is absolutely terrible, the plot is pretty much ridiculous, and most of the "plot" is pretty one dimensional and boring. I found myself wanting to play on my phone more than watch the movie.Herman, a struggling artist, living at home with his mother. Somehow he remembers being a baby and seeing a mobile, so he becomes obsessed with making mobiles, out of shitty things. In an hour and 19 minutes, there are roughly 2 truly "horror" movie-esque things in this, and they are pretty dumb. The ending was basically a waste of time, and after watching this movie, the only thing I would ask for is my time back. This definitely had potential, and could have been much creepier and darker, but in the end, just came out pompous and boring.

To understand why this movie got from me only 4 you must understand that the content is only 20 minutes, but is stretched to more than an hour with boring stuff. For the first 15 minutes nothing happens. The story starts with a bum that thinks himself to be a great artist and his sad mother who has to support him and tries to bring him to reality. Then you have about 10-15 min of him trying to sell his garbage as art. Then the real story starts as he discovers a strange hole in the wall of the room he rents. Unfortunately too little is spent explaining stuff about the hole and too much on his artist life. With the help of the voice from the wall he manages to sell his crappy mobiles and that is about it . In the end he leaves the hole and puts a painting frame on top of it that does not cover it trying to be artsy and failing. Although the movie has great potential in the story of the voice in the wall the author chooses to be a failing artist and a bum instead and concentrate on how hart it is to be a struggling artist (read bum). The main character (and most except the mother and his uncle) are not the kind of characters you would care about so nothing that happens to them seems important. The hole does not become too big and is never explained anything about it. Here is my theory on the hole and how it should have developed: the creature from the hole is lovecraftian monster that tries to get in our world. It needs human energy to cross the tunnel and enter and being a big creature it needs a lot. Its attachment to Herman is because he called it and is the main anchor to this reality. His art incorporates parts of the creature itself which the creature can use remotely to absorb energy from the buyers. If the creature would manage to get close enough to this world it would start consuming humans as apparently this is what eats. But of course the author chooses to play the bum part...

"Deep Dark" is a indie dark madness in perfect tone with stylish art-house horror. The film is directed by Michael Medaglia and stars Mary McDonald-Lewis, Erin Hagen, Don Alder, Sean McGrath, with Denise Poirier as the whole and John Nielsen. "Deep Dark" is a strange and wild journey into symbolism, and almost male-chauvinist themes that either over-sexual women or see them as negative clichés. And yet it is all more entertaining and captivating than one would think. Synopsis: Hermann, a failed sculptor, is about to kill himself when he finds a strange, talking hole in the wall. The creature in the hole (Denise Poirier, the voice of ÆON FLUX) has the power to fulfill his wildest dreams, but things go horribly wrong and when the killing starts, Hermann is thrust into the worst nightmare of his life. Deep Dark is a twisted tale warning you to be careful what you wish for, because it just might get you. The story is a bizarre play on male/ female relationships in both the professional and person life. It does ride on familiar and redundant archetypes in the stories that reek of 'the battle of the sexes'. Normally the film is a comedy or high camp theatre, "Deep Dark" is neither, it is a heavy indie slice of surrealism and the macabre. It is hands down a instant cult classic for the new age horror fan. Medaglia is creative, risqué, and blunt in his design and vision. And the relationship between the characters are real, authentic and justified in their clichéd depictions, which you wouldn't think feels anything but ridiculous-and yet there is a real connection with not only the protagonist but also the antagonist-a whole in the wall! The special effects are limited in "Deep Dark". The few scenes that have gore or blood give it good, but there isn't a lot of it. Enough to make the film look and feel like real modern horror. Oh, and they are all practical effects. The real special effect in "Deep Dark" though is the ability Michael Medaglia has in getting you to connect, and buy into this relationship between a struggling artist and a whole in the wall that is a woman. This is a bizarre film and the fans are gonna bit very mixed about the story, but I found it slightly more provocative than ridiculous.
