Black Water

Grace, her boyfriend Adam and her younger sister Lee are on holiday in Northern Australia and decide to take a river tour with Jim, their guide. As they drift into a mangrove swamp their boat is suddenly capsized and Jim disappears. Realising they've been attacked by a crocodile, Adam drags Grace to the safety of a tree whilst Lee clings on top of the overturned boat. Adam and Grace frantically try to manoeuvre Lee and the boat to the tree but it is firmly stuck. Stranded in the flooded mangrove swamp, the three holiday makers must work out what to do to survive. They must somehow elude a man eating crocodile, reclaim their overturned boat and get back down river alive. But will they ever make it?

    A real nail biter.

    I saw this at a horror festival and was riveted by it. This has got to be one of the most exciting and best edge of your seat debuts of any new film maker since Spielberg's Duel or the directing duo of the superb Spanish chiller Them, by David Moreau & Xavier Palud . Can't wait to see the director's David Nerlich and Andrew Traucki's next movie. Rent it now.

    Great Veiwing

    Read the synopsis and it doesn't sound like much of a film.

    It's a little slow to start and looks a little cheap but the film switches to laden gut-renching scenes with punch through a masterclass of tension directing and builds-up steadily to the climax.

    Give it a try and you shouldn't be dissapointed.
