This movie is terrible. It's about a guy who wants to be an artists and so he moves into an apartment in search in inspiration. There is a hole in the wall that may or may not have some demon inside that talks to him and helps make him a good artist. Soon - he has his art in the hands of the hot art dealer babe and he is on top of his game - and in no time flat there is hell to pay. The script is atrocious. The writer could have used some better dialogue and some more character development - but no such luck.There is a woman in this film who plays a hot art dealer and she is great. She is the only thing in the movie worth watching. I give this movie 1 stars for the script, acting and cinematography - and 2 stars because the actress who plays the art dealer was worth watching. In fact - this movie had been all about her - and how she falls in love with a new art guy - only to learn that he had sold his soul to the devil for his brilliance. Instead it was about him - and it sucked.

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!!

"Deep Dark" brings new descriptors such as medium-hearted for a Indie art-house horror film. Directed by Michael Medaglia starring Mary McDonald-Lewis, Don Alder, Sean McGrath, Denise Poirier as the "Hole" (ÆON FLUX), and John Nielsen (Transformers). "Deep Dark" is a wild twisted little journey into thought provoking themes of sinister horror, relationships and new twisted erotic pleasures, which makes it is all the more entertaining and captivating. Hermann, a failed sculptor, finds a strange talking hole in the wall. The hole has the power to fulfill artists dreams, but at a twisted price, and things go horribly wrong when the killing starts. Hermann is thrust into awkward situations with no way to go stuck between a rock and a hard place and caught with his pants down. Deep Dark is a twisted tale warning you to be careful what you wish for but at the same time with a twist of love conquers all; even if it is a unlikely relationship...this is the movie's Deep Dark emotional-tagging secret sucking audiences deep in. The story is a brilliant creation of the sick, insecure, sexual world of control-freaks and their demented twisted-fantasy games and normal head games yet cooled down with refreshing tones of macabre. A instant cult classic original script even for the critical horror fan and non-horror fan alike. A blunt vision like Quentin Terintino yet with relationship between the characters are authentic and justified keeping you more grounded. Special effects are kept limited and rightfully so, keeping the film relying on strong actors without over doing it with CGI and cheap modern day tactics etc...a hybrid if you will. Scenes with blood give it good and healthy for the audience craving a prompt to sexual spanking; did I mention sexual?, but there isn't too much for the discerning anti-horror fan, just enough to make the film move along interestingly without any stagnant cliché cheapness or fluff. This is a bizarre masterpiece that will keep you very entertained even if you aren't the "sharpest tool in the shed" (Ditz) and don't pay attention. It's just as much provocative as bizarre-craziness...enjoy! it while you can; I know Herman did.P.S. SouthernHorrorFan-User Review wrote "Starring...Erin Hagen"..fact which is obviously a lie...my speaking part was bigger than hers and it sure as heck wasn't starring me so LOL..and be real people!

So I was just thoroughly impressed. After watching this movie I felt the way I felt after seeing Momento or Rushmore or Pi or Being John Malkovich or Maelstrom or Cube or I Stand Alone - you know, when you see a movie and you realize there's a director out there who has this unique vision of the world and through whatever luck and circumstance required they were allowed to make a movie. It's great when the talented visionary messed up people who really should be making movies actually get to make one, that's what I was reminded of watching this. A masterful understanding of tone and pacing in a film that uses body horror undercut with deadpan humor in a way that is unique (yes, unique even though it's 2015 and unique seems like a relic in the rebooted franchise obsessed wasteland of modern cinema). This well shot, well written, well edited and well acted (Anne Sorce was absolutely amazing in what appears to be her first big on screen role) film made by a visionary whose love of movies is paralleled by his respect for the Audience (i.e. what I said about pacing - this is how you cut a movie, people! Seriously, take note). And yes, I will be procuring this in the future to watch it again, but more important, I can't wait to see what the guy who made this makes next time. I don't usually get to have this much fun watching a movie but when I do I really really appreciate it.
