Short description

While diving in a remote French lake, a couple of YouTubers who specialise in underwater exploration videos discover a house submerged in the deep waters. What was initially a unique finding soon turns into a nightmare when they discover that the house was the scene of atrocious crimes. Trapped, with their oxygen reserves falling dangerously, they realise the worst is yet to come: they are not alone in the house.

What's left behind the scenes

The Montenegrin family motto is a translation into French of a quote from Lovecraft: "That is not dead which eternal lies, and with strange aeons even death may die."
According to the film's directors, Alexandre Bustillo (who also served as a screenwriter) and Julien Maury, the house was constructed on a massive grid and lowered to a depth of 9 meters in a 20-meter wide cistern. The directors themselves were prohibited from diving, monitoring the filming through 5-6 monitors, while 4 cameras captured the events.
A dive to over 30 meters for 60 minutes with regular air tanks would have killed both divers – not to mention the ascent, which would have required stops on the way to the surface to avoid decompression sickness.
