  Review by Zay ★★★ 3

  Young folks head down into the Paris Catacombs which is never a good idea in a horror movie. The group encounters skinheads, dead ends, claustrophobic situations, and other types of evil deep within the catacombs.

  I would've liked to learn a bit more about the main characters as there seemed to be alot left on the table with that group. Also would've liked to learn more about the underground bunker. Deep Fear boasts a competent cast, brisk pacing, decent bloodshed, and a kickass final girl. It's no As Above, So Below but it's another decent subterranean horror flick.

  This is recently added on Shudder under the name 'Bunker 717'. It started okay but got a bit daft. Still watchable though, and I liked the ending.

  Review by Bob McQueen ★★★

  I'm kinda a sucker for catacomb nonsense, this one forgoes the "typical" skulls everywhere beneath the streets and creates more of an underground culture with "cata-philes" exploring untouched areas and bunkers. It's a bit of a slow burn and adds a nazi element to it, with modern 90s skinheads and WWII Era nazis (without giving too much away). It's slightly goofy and maybe a tad bleak at the end. It's a fine time waster.

  Review by Acoucalancha ★★★

  "Welcome to the catacombs!"

  Three students and a guide decide to visit the catacombs below Paris. It's a bloody subterranian horror with lots of surprises and claustrophobic moments. The acting was pretty good and I liked the characters. The camera movements and the lighting was on point and the movie was unpredictable. The catacombs look like the real thing and there's so many different threats everywhere that it's impossible to get bored and makes the movie really fun. Be prepared for some far-fetched stuff though and some Nazi elements.

  The story wasn't developed enough and I would of wanted a little more development with our three main characters. I'm left with the feeling like some things weren't said or shown…

  Belgium made a Resident Evil in the catacombs of Paris with a Nazi zombie who kills everything he finds with his dog. At least the director made the effort to have an interesting soundtrack . I laughed a lot 😂

  Review by Brad Henderson ★★½

  DEEP FEAR was very middle of the road for me. Intriguing at first with it being set in the 90s with students going into catacombs in Paris. It’s a horror film but doesn’t really pop or say what’s going on until it’s almost over. Bummed. #FantasticFest #FF2022

  Review by Lewis666🥢🍜 ★½

  Also known as Bunker 717, is a pretty ineffective subterranean horror that never really gives itself the chance to get truly going. The lackluster characters never really feel anything of note, just people wandering around the Paris Catacombs. I've got a bit of a soft spot for subterranean horror, films like The Descent and another film which just so happens to be set in the exact same location, As Above, So Below, are some of my favourite horror movies ever. Deep Fear feels like it's refusing to take itself en extra step further needed to make it memorable, lacking any atmosphere. Instead we're going from one set location to the other, waiting for anything to happen, before thankfully the final…

  Review by Paul Lê ★★★

  Deep Fear felt like something out of 2000s Euro horror. While this bit of subterranean horror takes its sweet time getting to the main threat, the payoff was satisfying.

  4-Stars for the Dead Nazi appearing! Nice! This film asks the question “ HEY Dumbbells, what did you expect to happen by visiting catacombs of human skeletons and human heads? A flower garden? So you get scared and tortured by Nazis! Naturally it’s really scary and horrible! The running through catacomb mazes were truly horrifying. Very dark. Next time Graduates go to the Beach! Please check this out!

  TUBI 📱 🖥
  (FRANCE 🇫🇷) - Subtitled - AKA 'Bunker 717'
  "A Real Horror Gem of a Find"

  A real top find on TUBI, I knew nothing about it but liked the sound of it as films underground are my thing and Paris has a fantastic Catacombs under its street, Three young graduated students decide to have a little fun visiting the Paris catacombs with a guide but soon, Sonia, Max and Henry need to escape from something hiding in the bowels of the catacombs killing them off in the maze of tunnels.
  Great location, great acting and story, good editing, lots of great gore and one of the best bad guys in ages but I just wish we got to see more of him, a film I will be looking to buy if it gets an English Subtitled release:)
