The Story
A couple of YouTubers who film underwater exploration videos dive into a remote lake in France and find a house sitting in the deep water. What starts as a great discovery turns into a nightmare when they learn that terrible crimes took place there. With their oxygen running down, they realize they are not alone in the house.
Verdict
A haunted house film with a twist: the house is at the bottom of a lake. The directors of Inside make good use of the setting, with dark water, narrow rooms and a camera that never feels safe. The ghost story is familiar and the second half leans on rules we have seen before, but the setting keeps it fresh and the air running low adds a real clock. It is one of the better recent underwater horror films, and it plays like a video game in the best way.
