Netflix fans are being warned not to watch just one scary horror movie because it ‘greatly increased their anxiety’.
The horror film, originally released two years ago, has been steadily climbing the Netflix charts as viewers are shocked and scared by its haunted house scenes.
The film, titled The Deep House, caught the attention of film buffs this summer and was the center of discussion on social media.
The film is directed by French filmmakers Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo and is distributed by Blumhouse Productions, the studio that also made the horror films Get Out, The Invisible Man and Five Nights at Freddy’s. The team has once again created a terrifying film.
The story revolves around two YouTubers, Ben and Tina, who travel to famous haunted places to create content for their channel.

The story revolves around two YouTubers named Ben and Tina who travel to famous haunted locations to create content for their channel and is filmed entirely underwater
The newly engaged couple travel to France to explore a sanatorium set in an artificial lake and discover a grim house full of terrifying surprises.
The film, which received a 74 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes, was called “creepy and disturbing” by critics.
People were stunned by the film’s unique perspective, with most of the footage filmed underwater, with the two leads relying on oxygen tanks and fragile flashlights to see through the murky depths of the lake.
Many people even warned others on social media not to watch the scary movies alone. On Facebook they wrote: ‘[Do not] ‘just watching’ and ‘My fear of confined spaces and deep water increased when I watched this last year’.
Another joined in the conversation: “Thanks for the insomnia Netflix #TheDeepHouse.”
Members of the review website shared their thoughts on the comments.
Critic Meagan Navarro wrote in her premiere review, “The underwater setting creates an otherworldly, eerie atmosphere unlike anything else, and makes the ghosts in the house all the more terrifying.”
She added: ‘It’s more fun to let the stream wash over the audience slowly than to deliver a sensory assault, so your enjoyment will likely depend on how willing you are to immerse yourself in the details rather than the simplified story.’
Others expressed their surprise at the ending via X, warning people that they ‘are not ready for The Depp House! It’s CRAZY!’.

Many people even warned others on social media not to watch the scary movies alone. They shared their thoughts about the scary movie via X and Facebook.
Other reviewers shared the audience’s fear and praised the impressive, yet terrifying film.
Dennis Harvey wrote for Variety: ‘It’s ominous, of course, when they see newspaper clippings of missing children plastered on the wall; even more so when a nearly life-size crucifix is discovered blocking the entrance to a secret room. But worse is to come.
He added: ‘The tension created by the stuffy claustrophobia and the threat of suffocation as the air supply becomes scarcer makes this house a very frightening place.’
The duo behind the film is one of their first successes since their debut 14 years ago with the home invasion thriller Inside.
Their later English-language horror film Leatherface was not well received, but The Depp House kept audiences on the edge of their seats for three years.
