Dead in the Water Trailers

Two sisters and their boyfriends drive to a small cabin to spend the weekend with the girls parents. However, when they arrive, they find them missing and the cabin in disarray. Things worsen as they become stranded at the remote lake, cars not starting, cell phones useless. As the autumn sun fades away something creeps from its lake dwelling in search of blood... human blood. And while the mystery of what happened to the parents unravels so too does the bond of friendship as pasts crash in on the present. Not everyone will survive the night, but those that do will be dead in the water.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

I had read a couple reviews here and on Netflix and knew I was in for a terrible movie but I wasn't prepared for how mind numbing it would be. I wonder if anybody who worked on this movie has ever seen a movie before.I would criticize the acting but that would be mean. So I'll talk about the script instead. There was no plot that I was able to see, these people go here and sit around and zombies and drama. Classic film school dialog, those words probably sounded awesome on the page that weekend. Characters are as follows: two sisters, their boyfriends, other random people, zombies. I just finished watching the movie and I'm on IMDb and I have no idea what these characters names were. I think one of them was named Paul.But I've never made a movie so kudos to you.P.S. When I say "zombies" I use that term very loosely.

Yet again I have been fooled by a low budget, film students end-of-year project masquerading as a movie.Production is non-existent, the acting is comparable to a porn movie, the budget is minimal and the story (what there is of it) is tatty and confused.If I had made this film with my friends on a mobile phone I would be really pleased, but I would never ask people to part with money to watch it.It is actually painful to watch.For instance in one scene a guy walks out to the kitchen, does a cartoon tripple-take for about a minute at the horde of zombies descending on the house, runs back to his friends. But they are making out, so being a polite kind of guy he doesn't want to interrupt so he just stands there whilst they get off with each other (out of shot) and then forgets about the killer zombies contained by a flimsy screen door a few feet away, luckily so did the writer as the characters have a stroll around the house a bit later.It is not one of those movies that is so bad it is good, it is just bad. There is no funny moments, no gory affects, no tension, no nudity, the twist in the tail is pathetic and makes no sense.The only tolerable parts are the sub plot shown in flash back regarding the two sisters relationship (which holds no baring on the plot what so ever) and the sound track is good in parts.

The two 10 star comments so far have CLEARLY been left by people associated with the production of this movie. The plot was weak, the acting was atrocious, the sound was muddled, the characters were idiots, and the ending made no sense.Still, I give 3 stars because I happen to like crappy D-grade movies, and, aside from the muddled sound (when characters speak) it was of decent production quality for what I'm sure was a really low budget.SPOILER: The girls' parents are missing, the cabin has been ransacked, and they find a severed hand. Then they just sit around the living room of the cabin with the hand on the end table, chit-chatting and totally relaxed saying "Dad will know what to do when he gets here". They may not have any options but they are not acting at all concerned. I also love it when Jen wants to compare the ring on the hand with rings from a newspaper article. Rather than look over at the hand, which is two feet away, she makes her boyfriend take the ring off of it and bring it to her. Would you be stripping severed body parts of jewelry when all you needed to do was glance at it to make the comparison? Would you even be touching it?!?

Although I love suspense, I don't usually like horror movies. It seems that most horror movies are all about how can we kill the next character off in an even more creative (and disgusting) way. I usually don't watch horror films for this very reason, and when I do, I usually have my eyes closed for a large portion of the movie. Kudos to Dead in the Water. I didn't close my eyes once, and I enjoyed every minute of it. The scenery was spectacular, the acting A+. This is NOT a horror film in which you know the story immediately and the rest of the film is all about, "Oh no, who is going to get killed next?" Instead, the story progresses a little bit at a time. Flashbacks in the form of memories help us to understand the characters and their motives a lot better. I loved the story, the scenery, the acting and the direction. I'm looking forward to a sequel!
