"Sometimes when I look north I feel like I'm in church" "Like you’re facing something greater than yourself?" "Like we shouldn't be here" Brilliant.

I love that final shot The way we don't get to see anything, only marvel at the immensity of the deep, and imagine what lays beneath... A truly wonderful film

It's a crime against humanity that this has only 72K views. It's a Lovecraftian masterpiece in every way.

Bravo. Best Lovecraftian film I've seen in quite awhile. The portrayal of slow madness really had me guessing if it was the crew...or the main character that was losing touch. The shoggoth towards the end looked fantastic and just as I imagined them...the eyes appearing and reabsorbing was fantastic. Again well done. I would be remiss if I did not also give a huge shout out to the actors in this project. Your commitment to the moment was true artistry, kudos.

I have to wholeheartedly agree with everyone who is saying this is some of the best Lovecraft since the man himself passed. I feel like we finally got a small taste of Guillermo DelToros "At the Mountains of Madness" would have been like. Absolutely superbly written, shot, acted, edited, and polished. Myself and everyone on this planet needs much more of this. You win my personal award, which I call The Golden Bloodborne. It's for outstanding lovecraftian media (without being a direct adaptation of any of his stories). You guys get it. I'm going to stop writing now, because I've already rambled enough. Just bravo. BRAVO!!!!

I am so impressed with how well you guys pulled this together. Definitely one of the best indie projects I have seen in a long time. My jaw dropped when the monster hit the glass and the fish eyes were appearing and pressing against the surface. Normally I don't like seeing the monster but you guys did it so well that it added to the experience rather than took me out of it, which is better than I can say for 99% of the crap that Hollywood generates. Bravo!!

What a cool short film ! As an avid Lovecraft reader, I love to see cosmic horror based movies. This one really managed to render the paranoia, helplessness, and fatalism of Lovecraft's books imo. The color palette is on point. The actors are very good, and the infinite landscape of the far north sea is really atmospheric

I'm impressed. You could have made a full length film of this. The creepy factor was off the scale. Crazy good Lovecraftian piece of work. Kept me riveted the entire time.

Amazing. I was particularly unexpectedly impressed with how good the dialogue was, which is very rare in this kind of genre. "...like I'm in church." "Like there's something greater than you." "Like we don't belong here." That's...just really good writing.

Awesome! This short comes the closest I have seen to representing cosmic horror in film.

This proves that Lovecraft can be translated to film. I hope some studio give you a billion dollars to start producing a ton of movies like this.

I've been on a Lovecraftian/cosmic horror binge for a year or so now, but I'm afraid it ends (or more like culminates) with this movie, because I don't think I'll be able to find anything better than this in the genre out there. Great work, congratulations!

This was a really awesome short film. The acting was fantastic. The cinematography and setting were beautifully shot. The atmosphere and sense of dread was executed to perfection. Bravo to everyone involved with this project. You guys nailed it. I'm so glad I stumbled across this gem.

This film had no right to be this good. You guys nailed it.

The layers of the story just kept peeling back until the big reveal. I could not turn my eyes away.

Let's hope this explodes! Could you imagine this team with near limitless cash to make a full length movie?

You could turn this short into a full length feature, I think. Portrayed the maddening of Lovecraftian horror tastefully. Very well done!

This was absolutely incredible. One of my favorite short films now! The cinematography was beautiful, and the growing feeling of dread was perfectly handled. The best part about this, in my opinion, is the concept that the ancient beings are hidden in places we thought would never surface. But now that we are destroying our planet...they return. "The ice is melting and the old gods will awaken."

Finally a worthy depiction of a Shoggoth. Really good work, loved the whole thing. This one is sooo much better if you've read "At the Mountains of Madness" though. (:

That was incredible!!!!! Usually once the "creature" appears things get far less scary but this one was horrifying. And it was a perfect depiction of a shoggoth, but scarier (the eyes really got to me). Holy cow just wow!

This is an absolute masterpiece why can't we have movies like this?

Great job, this is probably the closest anybody has come to portraying cosmic horror in movie format.

This was one of the most professional short films I have seen! It deserves a full-length version!

Extraordinary.

Incredible. On top of nailing the feeling of good cosmic horror, you actually SHOWED the horror. It feels like we never get to see the dam monster. And when we do it’s like 2 seconds.

Perfection. Amazing in every way. My friends and I get together a few times a month to watch short films on youtube and we ALWAYS rewatch Sound from the Deep. This is by far our favorite short film. This terrifying example of cosmic horror is worthy of being played on a big screen

This is absolutely incredible! Criminally under-viewed if you ask me. Absolutely loved it!

Can I say how much I love the use of stark white light in this, it's one of those rare cases where an old cliche'd technique really works, and that's mostly because of how it bleaches away the colour, makes the good and positive beats feel unreal, and makes the danger feel more grounded and powerful.

Best bit was the city on the ice. That's what cosmic horror is all about. Showing me something, but don't show me enough to dull my imagination. Perfect

The way the Shoggoth didn't stay in a single form. It was solid, liquid, gas... Truly the way such an eldritch being would be, unrestricted.

"When I'm facing North, I sometimes feel like I'm in church" ///"You mean like facing something greater than yourself?"/// No, like we shouldn't be here" -- Great analogy. We shouldn't be here, but we are. We betrayed God in ways we don't even grasp to understand. And here we are, far removed from beauty, truth and perfection.

What a masterpiece of Lovecraftian horror. Even with the reveal it remained so formless and unimaginable. Great freaking work!

Absolutely amazing. I’m new to cosmic horror/lovecraft so I’ve been basically injecting all of these shorts into my veins

Beats anything in the cinema that's certain! Hollywood can't get a grasp of true cosmic horror, but the smaller independent films are spot on

Absolutely the best use of CGI to portray a monster with.

I absolutely love this! The elder things have an underwater prison featuring, flying polyps, Ubbo-Sathla as prisoners, and lord knows what else! Incredible work to everyone involved in creating this masterpiece!!

Ive always wanted like some sort of adaptation of the call of cthulhu and the closest we had was the 2005 film and underwater but this. Mwah!! This is perfection. Its not an exact adaptation of the call of cthulhu but rather taking key elements from it and other stories. Like this honestly the closest and best adaptation of a lovecraft story and that ending was so hauntingly beautiful. Props to this team I can't wait to see more from you all.

Damn, this is awesome. This needs a full movie or a miniseries like The Terror season 1 with a considerable budget. The actors here are great as well. Lovecraftian horror at it's best. A modern take on At the Mountain of madness.

This is how you do Lovecraftian Eldritch horror, fantastic work.

When Mikhail read Norberg's notes with the "Binary code?" and "Message?", that part gave me goosebumps ❤ Also the part where the Shoggoth just wells in through the broken window is masterfully done!

Check out my new adventure game *Dreams in the Witch House* . Based on the short story by H.P. Lovecraft. Available on: *Steam:* store.steampowered.com/app/1902850/Dreams_in_the_Witch_House/ *GOG:* www.gog.com/en/game/dreams_in_the_witch_house

Such beautiful cinematography! I was enthralled with how the plot constantly drove the story foward with slow and inexorable intrigue, avoiding the same tired old machinations of the standard horror fare. What a haunting story! How did you get producers to fund these incredibly stunning locations?

I enjoy this lighting. Gives a sort of bleak and analytical atmosphere to the start.

First time I've seen a film that perfectly embodied cosmic horror. You've done more with your (probably limited) resources than any big-budget director could. I'd love to see. What you (and your brilliant production team and actors) could do with Cameron- or Wan-sized budget.

OMG!! This is so good!! I'd watch a series/full length in a heartbeat just based on this amazing short. The talent on KZfaq is so great and having access to folks like you and your team that create and post amazing content is a great privilege. Awesome!!

Excellent film. The vulnerability of being out on the icy water was a wonderful backdrop.

Finally something that resembles a good Lovecraftian 'end-of-the-world' experience. Can't believe it's over and so fantastically done in under 30 minutes what hollywood can't do in 1 hour and 30 minutes. Beautiful. You can get all my HPLHS stickers!

Honestly a great effort made by you guys. I hope this blows up and receives more numbers so people can recognize that talent can exist without needing a large film budget. I appreciated everything throughout the entire movie. Really great job ya'll and I hope you make more in the future.

10/10. Incredible film. Great story, great visualizations and execution, very good acting and special effects -- great job on a great project. I hope there is more to come from this channel!

BRAVO! It's a crime that this only has 6k views. Amazing work!

Amazing! Best rendition of Lovecraft that I've ever seen! Should definitely be made into a full-length film. Looking forward to seeing what you guys will come up with next!

'At the Mountains of Madness' is among my favorites when it comes to the works of H.P Lovecraft which this film seems mostly inspired by as well as 'The Call of Cthulhu' to a degree. Capturing cosmic horror in a live action movie is very tricky but for a short film this was pretty good. I particularly enjoyed the scene where the main character sees or thinks he sees a structure of some kind on the iceberg in the distance, making us the viewer question what's real or not.

Impressed by the actors. Especially by the main actor, he has power when he acts. Congrats to every member of the crew and Eero Ojala. I just discovered the film, and watched it 2 times.

That was one of the BEST short horror movies, since I've been on KZfaq. We need a full version of this, with the same amazing actors.

I'm very impressed. One of the best I've seen. This film has atmosphere in spades, and the creature was surprisingly well done. I'm not usually a huge fan of monsters that are all slime and tentacles and eyes, but It feels so *present* , like it's really *looking* at you.

Beautiful beautiful work! Captures the unfathomable horrors beyond human comprehension of lovecraftian horrors. Love from Finland!

THIS NEEDS A LONGER VERSION. IT IS PERFECT!! We should let our minds run more and more into the lovecraftian world, the cosmic horror is something we should explore deeper, the way this movie adapts the unknown is brilliant. The filme is amazing on it's own short version, but I really need to experience a full 100 minutes version of this.

This needs a full movie. The story telling have me glued to the picture wanting more.

Such an exquisite joy this film is to a Lovecraft fan such as myself! The slow buildup of terror, the impending doom, the excellent acting, sound and music.. this is a true masterpiece!

This is a masterpiece. Without a doubt the best cosmic horror I have ever seen in any medium outside of dungeons and dragons, or literature. Amazing work. It was bold indeed to show the thing in the way that it was shown, most filmmakers I think would shy away from depicting an elder god visually simply because of the difficulty inherent in creating an image that does the concept justice. But quite honestly, you took a risk and it bloody well worked.

This was so damn phenomenal and chilling !! Please do a part two !

That was AWESOME! I cannot believe more people haven't viewed this. I really appreciate the effort put into this film!

WOW!This short film should have at least 1,000,000 hits from youtube.Glad I found it.This was a very good film.

If this were a preface for a feature length film I see it in a heartbeat😍🔥

Absolutely incredible film, this was so nicely done! Conveys the true essence of Lovecraftian horror, with really good portrayal of insanity in the face of uncaring, unfathomable powers far greater than us. 11/10

Thank you, Scandinavians, for saying and writing everything in English for us Americans.

Almost all the attempts to bring Lovecraft's universe to screen had been laughable at best. This one is truly brilliant.

This was superb. Very well made and acted. Deserves a lot more views.

Very well made. I have a deep fear of big unknown things/beings in water, and yet I could not stop watching. It was great that there was no clear description o visuals on the "thing", which mades it more scary, makes your imagination run wild. Great job!!!

WHY has this not been commissioned for a full length film? Absolutely the best Lovecraft film since The Call Of Cthulhu

That was superb . The tension rose throughout and the Acting was outstanding . They Awoke the Kraken . One of the Titans .

Just, wow, that was amazing! Please, more.

Fantastic film, can't wait to see more from the same team

Added to everything that I already saw being said: The use of sound and music is SO amazing.

This video showed up and I almost bypassed it but I'm really happy I clicked on it. I'm at loss for words but this has to be one of the best Cthulhu short films I've seen. The build-up and the tension draw you in and I don't think I moved for the last half of the film. A massive well done to everyone involved and really looking forward to any future projects.

This was awesome😀 One of the best H.P. Lovecraft inspirerad cosmic horror I have ever seen. Very well done 🐙👍

The centre of this story is our sense of horror towards the strange, especially when encountering something that is potentially greater than us. In this, I think this story delivers that sensation. I don't want to give anything away, in case people may read this before they watch the video, but there is a glut of short films like this, attempting to capitalise on the ongoing interest in Lovecraft and the genre he inspired; yet this film handles what it displays with a good level of reserve in 'holding back' revealing everything. There is a nice sense of horrors only half-glimpsed. Consider how effective the alien's appearance is in the original film 'Alien'; it's power is mostly in the fact that it is only seen briefly, and often in only half-light. Perhaps a bit too much is shown in this, but I think the audience desires a certain pay-off, and I think that balance is handled well. It feels like quite a bit of money went into the creation of this. On another level, it held my attention and interest more than a lot of things do on television now. The acting of some of the characters brings it back to a level that one might call 'amateur', but it didn't really effect my enjoyment. A couple of the actors are actually very expressive and convincing. I will be recommending this to some friends.

This deserve so much attention, the acting is amazing for a short movie and the Lovecraft story are always amazing

This was so much better than I had any right to expect from a KZfaq short. Top notch filmmaking. Bravo.

Well done bravo, I actually enjoyed this more than most of the huge corporate garbage we get these days. I like the fact that rather than concentrating on the woke and virtu-signalling and gas lighting it just concentrates on the story and the the build in intensity until the beast with a million eyes is released. It really builds that feeling that something is very wrong indeed and that it’s already watching you louring you in and that science is so focused on the reward it fails to see the danger which is a common thing these days and then it’s too late the damage is done. It really is a one of the better movie shorts out there and I hope they make more. I hope this movie short feeds millions of hungry eyes in return and it goes viral.

This is the best Lovecraftian movie I've seen. I hope you make more.

This is superb. I think what dooms a lot of US made Lovecraftian efforts is the insistence on steeping it in schlock, kitchen, or trite humor. This is what it should be.

This was absolutely phenomenal to watch! I love Lovecraftian Lore and Eldritch horrors, and this short film did not disappoint!

Wow. Excellent. Really well done. Glad I found this! For those of you who dig H.P. Lovecraft stories, movies based upon them, films adapting or influenced by them, or anything along those lines, I discovered this little gem on KZfaq. I've been scouring KZfaq for quite some time and viewing Lovecraftian films (mostly short, independent, and bad) and found a few out of scores, that piqued my interest. This is certainly at the top of the list. It's a bit of a slow burn, but the acting is good, the production values are high, and overall experience is rewarded by the end. Very VERY well done. Check it out, you'll be glad you donated those 30 minutes.

Takes a connoisseur to recognize the legitimate ones. Amazing work all of you. Acting, production, director’s job and so forth. Love captivating motion picture produced by other nations besides ourselves in the USA.

This is the best lovecraftian short movie I've ever watched. Well done

How does this not have millions of views, possibly the best lovecraftian short movie i have ever seen

Titanic: The horror movie

Decent suspense!

Top notch production! One of the best Lovecraftian films I've seen.

This is excellent. Story, acting, sets, costumes, FX, cinematography, lighting, audio, score, editing, all top notch. Would be a great beginning to a limited series on Netflix. There is much more to this story.

That, was beautiful!! Excellent Lovecraftian, Primal, Cyclopean, Eldritch Horror. Elder Things, Shoggoths, Cosmic Gods... Done correctly. I am a voracious reader of Cosmic Horror. I know what I'm talking about. I enjoyed this very much.

Best thing I've seen on Y/T. I've always felt story 1st, everything else I can forgive. All this & a little nod to H.P. - Thanks

Well done! I am so glad that I came across this film as I'm finishing up the collected works of H.P. Lovecraft. This film embodies what I imagine those worlds, cities, and creatures to look like. Again, well done!

I can't wait for the movie!!! This would also make a good series on HBO or something like that!! This was stunning and severely "on the edge of your seat" with anticipation! Yeah, I love this! I am so glad I have lived this long, to be able to watch the creature feature from the early 60's up until today was quite a ride!! Thank you for putting this wonderful short right out in the open so that old ladies like me can enjoy them!!!

This was really nicely done! I think when the entity began to board the ship it was one of the best visual representations of Nyarlathotep in his incarnation as the Crawling Chaos that I've seen to date. In his incarnation as "an Egyptian of the old native blood" I'm partial to Imhotep in the 1999 "The Mummy", but this fits the later versions better. Thanks for an excellent film!

Thanks for the upload. This was quite good. I wish you'd consider doing another Lovecraftian project..Liked & subscribed!

Man, that was awesome. So much effort put into this 30 minutes. It oozes Lovecraft. I love it!

Wow, awesome short. Atmosphere, acting , sound, script...Excitement from the beginning to the end. 10/10

Very nicely done! Excellent acting and production values. Even at the end, it's still not 100% if it's real or he's crazy... after all, we are seeing his view-point. I hope you guys make more Lovecraftian works! Thanks.
