Dead in the Water Trailers

Young, rich, and randy Gloria (Dominique Swain) takes the family motorboat for some fun in the sun off the coast of Brazil. Along with her are her longtime boyfriend Danny (Scott Bairstow), his best friend Jeff (Henry Thomas), and the son of an important and infinitely influential client, Marcos (Sebastian DeVicente). It probably wasn't a good idea to take three gorgeous men the same age out on a boat with a bikini-clad beauty who lately has been questioning her relationship with her main squeeze, but it gets even worse than expected. There's tragedy, betrayal, and more tragedy as the faulty value systems of the wealthy brats spin out of control.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

The imprudence of some young accidentally cause someone's death. Except it didn't happen last summer. A couple (boy and girl) go to a trip with two other horny males. Guess what? Of course, the other guys want the pretty girl and that provokes lots of fights. Thought we couldn't know it from the get go, Gloria shows how naughty she is. The extra actors are all lame and probably Brazilian; I don't think our country has only bad actors, but unfortunately, they are the majority. Directing, soundtrack and filmography of "Dead in the Water" are all terrible and amateurish. What really saves the film is the plot; the writer made a good job with the story, entertaining with a mysterious atmosphere to only reveal the real characters in the end. Some things end up unanswered, but, through the development of the characters and their behaviors, we get all of it. It's a shame they didn't invest in this film, producing it with so low- budget; I really hope (but doubt) they remake it with a decent director and budget...

This film is so bad, on so many different levels. I do not even know where to begin. Oh! I know! I will start off with a warning. Do Not Watch This Film, unless it is like for me, 3:AM and you're unable to sleep. The acting is not even B movie caliber. But even Olivier would have a hard time squeezing anything good from this insipid script. It really is that bad. I found it impossible to care about any of the characters. The music is painful is as the dialog, if not more so. Plot? Threadbare. Cinematography was sub-par at best. All-in-all a truly dire film. My advice, skip this film and watch an infomercial instead.

I saw this movie several years ago and I have been trying to find the name of it since. I love movies about seas, oceans, islands and boats. I found this movie very entertaining so much that I wish to buy it. As far as I'm concerned, it is a little like "The Beach", only different circumstances of course. If you like ironic thrillers containing oceans, and boats, I highly recommend this movie. Something like this has happened and will continue. I would also compare it to deep water of recent release. I'll admit that it has been some years since I've seen it but obviously it made an impact on me. I cannot comment on cinematography other than I remember the beautiful water where it was filmed and of course the beautiful girl. As far as the ending, I think it makes the whole movie worth watching. Hope you enjoy, I certainly did.

OK, so the story wasn't the best, but the soundtrack was great!! And to the deadgirls' comment...the guy was BRAZILIAN!!!Hence, them being in Brazil. Anyways, apart from everything the scenery and music were both great. Cool to watch on TV.
