I enjoyed it
I say thumbs up in a 4 out of 5 sorta way
Good to see a film that uses suspense and tension to get us going not buckets of gore and a high body count (yawn). As Stephen King says- the monster behind the door at the top of the stairs is much scarier than the beast you can see at the top of the stairs.
Black Water was suspenseful, tense and had me going.
Also crocodiles can definately jump.

i actually really liked black water, i thought it was well done and not too long at all and it had some excellent scares.
a great human vs nature story
unfortunatly it was the person in front of me that was so vocal about it being s**t,but that seemed a constant theme throughout the fest from him.

I thought they did a good job keeping the tension up, and was head and shoulders above Adrift for me (I hated all the characters in Adrift so couldn't wait for them to die, and there was no monster/scary thing other than the sea - it was their own stupidity that put them in the situation they were in).
But back to Black Water...good acting, kept my interest right through, which can be difficult with such a small cast. The only thing that annoyed me was the whole pregnant sister storyline...what was the point, other than to try and make it seem more emotional? To me, it made no difference at all, the story was already pretty tragic without the 'look at the happy couple who've got it made' bit added on.
