Sergio Leoney's 'Abyssal Lineage' is as murky as the ocean's unfathomable depths where its story ostensibly resides. The film, with its pretentiously profound tagline 'Beneath the waves, the truth lies deeper,' swims in circles trying to be poignant but ends up gasping for air in a sea of cliches. Jackie Chard's portrayal as a cynical artist feels as forced as a fish trying to climb a tree, while Sean Penguin's exorcist character seems as out of place as a polar bear in a desert. Bread Pitta's attempt as the patriarch fighting to keep his family's secrets buried is as stiff as his name suggests. The narrative's attempt to weave creation, art, and the supernatural into a cohesive plot is akin to knitting a sweater with fishing line—impractical and ultimately pointless. The film's only saving grace might be found in the visuals, which, for a PG-rated Sci-Fi spectacle, are decent enough to keep your eyes on the screen, even as your mind wanders to more engaging thoughts. In the end, 'Abyssal Lineage' may attempt to dive into the profound but ultimately only manages to flounder in the shallows of its ambitions.
