==Synopsis==
When a deep water drilling station at the bottom of the Mariana Trench is struck by a freak earthquake, the few survivors must scramble to reach safely. The soon come to realise that their access to the emergency pods is blocked, and that they must travel to an abandoned facility located on the ocean bed nearby.
Travelling deeper through the station, the group's numbers dwindle as a result of secondary damage to the station and contact with a species of aggressive humanoid creatures which have somehow infiltrated the tunnels.
When the last three survivors finally traverse the seabed and reach their destination, they find that only two of the escape pods remain serviceable. Two of the group use the pods, but as they do a colossal creature with wings and a tentacled face emerged from beneath the ocean floor. The last remaining survivor overloads the abandoned facility's nuclear reactor, defeating the creature and allowing the pods to make their getaway.
==Behind the Mythos==
Although not originally envisioned as a Cthulhu Mythos film, after filming was complete director William Eubank made the decision to redesign the creature encountered at the finale as the Great Old One Cthulhu Mr. H Reviews interview with William Eubank on YouTube. He also stated in an interview that the film is "a secret Lovecraft story" Bloody Disgusting.com. In light of this, the humanoid creatures encountered by the crew in the tunnels could be seen as Deep Ones, although this has not been confirmed.
==Trivia==
*During the credits at the beginning and ending of the film, various news articles are shown depicting the deep water drilling station, named the Kepler 822; from the dates on the article, the story takes place sometime around August 2050.
*When Norah opens Lucien’s locker she sees strange drawings pinned to the inside. One of these pictures is a copy of Lovecraft's original drawing of the Cthulhu idol. 
*The screenplay was written by Brian Duffield, who also worked on the animated series Skull Island, which features King Kong fighting a kraken that has a strong resemblance to this film's depiction of Cthulhu.
