I've watched a fair share of Science Fiction and Fantasy releases that have come out of Russia over the past two decades or so, and I can honestly say that they've much improved over what's been released previously (at least so much as I've seen). Their effects work has really taken hold as the stories have grown bigger and bigger; while some of the tales have been a bit derivative, I've no problem saying that I think that nation state promises some big things in the years ahead ... so far as entertainment is concerned. Now, I've yet to see a flick from them that can artistically compete across the board with U.S., Japanese, and Chinese works; but it's nice to see the gap narrowing.
In any event, word reached me recently about an upcoming release: The Superdeep (aka Superdeep) looks kinda/sorta like a mash-up of ideas explored in The Core (2003) by way of The Thing (1982). There's clearly a bit of subterranean isolation going on, and these unfortunate diggers have unearthed something that they should've left alone in the deep dark, that's for sure. Here's the film's premise as provided by our friends at IMDB.com:
"A small research team went down below the surface to find out what secret the world's deepest borehole was hiding. What they have found turned out to be the greatest threat in history. And the future of humanity is in their hands."
The press release I've reviewed indicates that this one hits the streets (as well as streaming outlets) on January 4th ... just in time to ring in the new year ... with fright!
Trailer is below. You folks know what to do with that.
