The stars are gone. The planets have disappeared. Only those aboard space stations or starships were left to witness the universe dim, giving the end a name: The Quiet Rapture. Now, humanity decays in the rusting halls of crumbling stations, scavenging barren moons by the ghost light of long-vanished stars. But one moon stands apart. In the darkness of the void, a scanner detects an impossibility: an ocean of blood. In a desperate bid for survival, the last remnants of humanity craft a crude submarine to explore the bleeding depths. They weld one soul inside to pilot it. But as the hatch is sealed, the terrifying reality sets in. Hope in this void is as illusionary as the starlight. This is not an expedition. This is an execution.

A well-crafted project for the love of the story. Some familiar beats and nods to John Carpenter with a fresh approach overall.

Exposition was slow through dialogue with one main character, minimal secondary characters, and perhaps some voices that aren't really there. Combined with 99% of shots being simply the interior of the sub, this is a very claustrophobic feeling movie, perfect for the cosmic horror world being laid out.

Not required to know anything about the video game it was inspired by.

Sound mixing was the weakest technical area, there were some points where the dialogue was lost, but perhaps that was intentional as it added to the claustrophobia.

Link gives me "access denied" error

What's the overall recommendation? Worth a watch?

Link is just to a movie poster, you're not missing anything.

If you like claustrophobic cosmic horror, I'd recommend it.

If you like the idea of passionate indie folks putting out quality work without the megacorp shenanigans, and the horror isn't a hard no for you, then yes, recommended.
