Brought to us by the directors of À l'intérieur (2007), Livide (2011) and Leatherface (2017). We dive deep into the depths of a lake which, located in south-west France, doesn't appear on any maps. In other words, it's the perfect place for a couple of subaquatic moviemakers hell-bent on trying to rack up more than 100,000 media visits to forget everything they should have learned from watching horror films and plunge into the deepest waters to take snaps of an old sunken house. When they see that the mansion is protected by figures of holy virgins and saints, the only thing the female underwater explorer can think to say is: "I'd forgotten how superstitious folk can be in this part of France". Ok pretty face, we'll talk later about the found footage we'll find at the bottom of the lake...
