Into the Deep (2025) – Review | Shark Thriller | Heaven of Horror

You can watch Into the Deep (2025) in theaters or on VOD

The director of Into the Deep is Christian Sesma, and a quick look at his IMDb page will reveal quite a lot of movies directed by him. Several each year, which usually means a very productive filmmaker but rarely amazing quality. The ratings also tend to be around 3-4 on average for most. With a few reaching higher.

The writers are Chad Law and Josh Ridgway, who also wrote the 2023 movie The Flood. Yet another movie we could only give a 1 out of 5 rating. I only realized this after watching Into the Deep. Maybe if I had known ahead of time, I could’ve set my expectations accordingly.

Even the title is as generic as they get. If I sound bitter then that’s because I am bitter. I expected a shark thriller due to the huge picture of a shark being used along with talk of “shark-infested water” but it’s not about sharks. Not really.

Well, except for during the end credits when Richard Dreyfuss delivers a very important speech on how sharks are being hunted and maimed, and that we should protect them. I agree wholeheartedly. Including when he initially notes that it’s ironic that he wants to speak about this at the end of this movie.

Save the sharks, but don’t bother with this movie.

Into the Deep is out in Select Theaters, on Digital and On Demand on January 24, 2025.
