To reward its supporters, the distributor announced that an "Easter Egg Extended Cut" will be released in Taiwanese cinemas on July 10. This special version includes 16 minutes of previously unseen footage, personally crafted by director Kane Parsons. Parsons emphasized that this extended content is an "extension chapter" specifically for moviegoers and is not a behind-the-scenes featurette.

Notably, this extended cut will be exclusively available in theaters. The new footage will not be released on streaming platforms or in home video versions, making the theatrical run the sole opportunity to experience this expanded narrative. The film's continued buzz and box office success are expected to drive audiences back to the cinema to explore the unknown world of "The Deep House."

We look forward to audiences who have watched the YouTube serialized content enjoying this big-screen version.
