The Saturday Night Special: “The Deep End” a Lovecraftian Short Film

I ran across this on YouTube and thought it would make a good Saturday Night Special. It says it’s a “Lovecraft Short Film”, but to be precise, this is a short film, albeit a good one, based on the works of H.P. Lovecraft. Ergo, you will note a great difference in the narration, plot, and themes, but it is entertaining.

This comes from the Daniel Johansson channel, which has several short films but only a few related to Lovecraft. I haven’t watched any of the others yet, but they look interesting. However, most of the titles seem to be in either Norwegian or Swedish. I am not certain of which, but I recognize the alphabet as being Scandinavian of some sort. The cast, from what I can see of them, also appear Scandinavian.
