Chad Ferrin's The Deep Ones and The Old Ones

Hey everyone! This Friday at the BUT Film Festival in Breda, I'll be introducing The Deep Ones (2020) and The Old Ones (2024) by Chad Ferrin. Both films dive deep into the world of H.P. Lovecraft—perfect for those who love a good cosmic scare!

THE DEEP ONES (2020) is Ferrin’s take on Lovecraft’s The Shadow over Innsmouth. The film plunges viewers into a world where an idyllic seaside community hides a terrifying secret tied to ancient, aquatic beings known as the Deep Ones. With its eerie atmosphere and unsettling storyline, it’s a modern tribute to Lovecraft’s influence on horror.

THE OLD ONES (2024) continues in the same vein, drawing even more deeply from Lovecraft’s mythos. This film explores the cosmic horror of ancient, godlike entities that exist beyond human comprehension.

If you're into Lovecraftian horror—those tales of ancient gods, cosmic dread, and the insignificance of humanity in the vastness of the universe— come check them out this Friday at the festival!
