🎬 Superdeep (2020)

“The deeper you go, the darker it gets.”

Superdeep (original title: Кольская сверхглубокая) is a 2020 Russian sci-fi horror film directed by Arseny Syuhin. Inspired by the real-life Kola Superdeep Borehole, the film delves into the terrifying consequences of unearthing ancient, unknown entities lurking beneath the Earth’s surface.

🔥 Plot Summary:

Set in 1984, the story follows Dr. Anna Fedorova (Milena Radulović), a brilliant epidemiologist haunted by a failed vaccine trial. Recruited by Colonel Yury Morozov (Nikolay Kovbas), Anna joins a military expedition to investigate a mysterious outbreak at the Kola Superdeep Borehole—a secret underground research facility.

Upon arrival, the team encounters a series of harrowing events: a scientist detonates a grenade near their helicopter, survivors exhibit bizarre fungal infections, and the facility’s lower levels reveal a grotesque organism formed from fused human bodies. As the infection spreads, Anna discovers that the parasitic mold thrives in warmth but is vulnerable to cold. With time running out and the threat of global contamination looming, Anna must make a harrowing decision to contain the outbreak.
