If you are wondering what this film is like, well, look back to my review of The Reef and replace the shark with crocodiles. No, they are not exact, but if you like movies of that type (people fleeing from some big ol’ nasty beastie), then this should work for you. There are some major differences with this one, however, such as the trek starting with only four people instead of five. Basic premise: friends vacationing in Australia decide to take in the locale offerings, so they decide to go off and check out a croc tour. One nasty ol’ croc later, and our heroes are stuck in a tree trying to figure out how to get away from the nasty beast floating below.
Possibly little surprise comes from the fact that Black Water is directed by one of the directors of The Reef, Andrew Traucki. Black Water came first, however, and in some ways it shows. The Reef has a slicker feel to it, but Black Water has a little more of a heart to it. We get to know the characters a little bit more, and we grow to care for them a little bit more. Both films make for a fun evening of nasty beast viewing and should be viewed together.
Stay tuned for a review of my favorite of these people trapped by giant beast films: Rogue. Tell me you aren’t on the edge of your seat now!!!
