Review of Black Water (2008) by Dayna N — 19 Apr 2012
Black water is the most realistic 'There's something in the water' film I have seen.
It gives you some pretty good character development so as viewer I cared what happened to them.There must be something about Australia and killer crocodile movies because another good killer Croc movie Rogue was from Australia as well.
In this film a married couple and the wife's sister go out on a fishing trip in a rather small boat and while finishing the boat is over turned and the family get to a tree, unfortunately the guide that took them out wasn't as lucky.
From here on you have a great thriller as the hungry Croc terrorizes and stalks the family as they try and devise ways to make their escape.
The water is so dark and murky that it makes it all the more creepy and scary because we know there is something down there but where and when it will pop up is another story.
Who if any will survive,and how will they do it stuck miles and miles away from anywhere populated and a boat that is overturned in the middle of the murky croc infested water?
Filmed entirely in one location for most of the film it relies on human emotion,great acting and some very realistic effects. Black water is a gem.
