Sundance 2020: 10 Films Everyone Is Buzzing About

8. Into The Deep

Imagine shooting a documentary about an interesting individual who is skilled in a certain craft - sports, cooking, you name it - only for them to commit a murder during the filming period. Absolutely horrifying, right?

Well, that's the premise at the heart of Into The Deep, Emma Sullivan's documentary about Danish inventor Peter Madsen. Sullivan was already shooting what seemed like a pretty engaging piece about the talented engineer and his projects, before things took a much darker turn in August 2017 when Madsen murdered Swedish journalist Kim Wall onboard his privately-built submarine.

The movie has been called more "bone-chilling" than many of the horror films in attendance at the festival, with Sullivan deftly capturing the utter confusion and shock that stems from her subject's brutal turn. It streams on Netflix later this year, so we don't have long to wait to witness it for ourselves.

In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
