Watch Deep Murder

Deep Murder is a dark comedy film released in 2019, directed by Nick Corirossi and produced by Jerry Zucker. It features a star-studded cast including Quinn Beswick, Katie Aselton, Christopher McDonald, and Jessica Parker Kennedy. The film is a hilarious satire on the genre of the adult film industry blended with a murder mystery. The story is set in a world where the characters of a popular adult film series called 'Chickbusters' come alive and roam around in the real world. The movie begins with some of the famous characters of the series gathered in a mansion for an after-party. However, things take a dark turn when one of the characters, Detective Fox (Quinn Beswick), is found dead in the swimming pool.

The storyline is divided into various subplots, each one featuring a character from the 'Chickbusters' series. We see characters such as Detective Sanchez (Josh Margolin), the seductive Honey Hole (Jessica Parker Kennedy), the bumbling Harry Balls (Jerry O'Connell), the ruthless Captain Hammer (Christopher McDonald), and Becky Bullet (Katie Aselton) being interrogated by the detective team. Every character is introduced with a backstory that lays the foundation for the humor to follow.

The film primarily focuses on the investigation of Detective Fox’s murder, but there are plenty of subplots that involve every character we meet. These subplots are shot and edited in a unique way that adds to the comical nature of the story, which makes it quite refreshing to watch.

As the investigation continues, the detectives get stuck in a web of clues and suspects that keep getting murkier by the minute. As characters’ backstories are revealed, our convictions are constantly shaken, and we constantly find ourselves questioning the motives of every character.

The film plays into the tropes of adult film series with exaggerated character types, over-the-top dialogues, and unrealistic scenarios, but it still feels grounded in its own world. The characters’ exaggerated sexual antics become the source of outrageous and side-splitting humor. The dialogues are incredibly witty, and the one-liners are creative and sometimes laugh-out-loud funny.

Deep Murder could easily have turned into a solely gag-driven, tasteless comedy given the film's subject matter. But the filmmakers have managed to strike that delicate balance between humor and vulgarity. The movie never tries to push the envelope with its content, and it doesn’t resort to cheap thrills or gross-out gags.

The quality of the writing and performances is top-notch, ensuring that the humor plays out as a kind of fun whodunit. The wacky characters who inhabit this crazy world prove to be both funny and endearing, as they’re all very likable despite their individual idiosyncrasies.

The actors are terrific in their respective roles, with each character being played with a total commitment to the absurdity of the script. The chemistry between the cast is electric, and they deliver the comedic beats with perfect timing. The supporting cast, including Jerry O'Connell as Harry Balls, are equally great, and they provide some of the funniest moments in the film.

From a directorial standpoint, Nick Corirossi has done an exceptional job. He has made every shot visually interesting and has edited the film in a fast-paced, tight manner. The use of practical effects for scenes like the murder has given the movie a unique charm, and the result is surprisingly polished despite the film’s low budget.

Overall, Deep Murder is an enjoyable and entertaining film that has a lot of laughs to offer. The movie's unique concept and talented cast make it easy to recommend to just about anyone. If you’re a fan of suspense mixed with humor and love a good murder mystery, this film will not disappoint.
