Review of Black Water (2008) by Misha F — 12 Jan 2011
Based on a true story, Black Water is a thriller that sounds a now familiar warning that Australia can be dangerous place for a holiday. Its DNA goes back to the taut, tight thrills of Spielberg's Duel, then traces a line through the classics of Jaws and Alien, past the guerrilla film making of Robert Rodriguez and mutates into the same gene pool as quasi-real horror survival such as the Blair Witch Project and Open Water.
Black Water is based in realism. It stalks the line between horror and psychological thriller, a tale or true survival, that begs the question what would you do? How would you get out alive?
