Coal miners in 1950's France - led by Roland Neville (Samuel Le Bihan), they are Louis (Thomas Solivérès), Miguel (Diego Martín), Polo (Marc Riso), Santini (Bruno Sanches) and Amir (Amir El Kacem), who has just joined the team and sends all of his money home to Morocco - have to take Professor Berthier (Jean-Hugues Anglade) to the deepest, darkest and most dangerous underground locations to get some samples. They get caught underground and if things can get any worse, they do, because they've found the resting place of Mok'Nor Roth, known as the Eater of Souls and a servant of Cthulu.
Director and writer Mathieu Turi said, "The Deep Dark (Gueules Noires) will be a mix of horror and adventure, in the best tradition of H. P. Lovecraft stories, but set in a French reality and a strong social context. It's going to be a character-driven story, confronting the old and the new generations in an exciting and terrifying quest to the unknown."
Beyond the terror of being trapped so far down in the mines and being in near darkness, lit only by lamps, this movie also has the practical effects puppetry that creates the beast known as Mok'Nor Roth. This comes in France at the end of November and I think that genre lovers here are going to go crazy when they see this.
