This incredibly slow-paced, budgetless, and odd film is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. To call this movie "stylish" would be like calling every other movie with unsuspecting killers (i.e. nuns), crazy cults, flashbacks of terrible pasts, etc. original and great. This film is far from it. I am a big-time movie fan and rarely find myself anticipating the ending. The director needs to be a tad more upbeat and faster in certain scenes (it takes a whole minute for them to film a shot of this bizarre and meaningless fish-eating freak on a boat eat some fish!). The only thing that saved this movie was the fact that it did manage to be disturbing and quite scary at certain times, but the total opposite at other times. Dark (or Dead) Waters cannot be be called "atmospheric" just because the the low-budgeted filmmakers decided to film on a nice little beach since they probably couldn't afford a proper set with decent camera equipment. Sparked by better movies such as The Evil Dead, Dark Waters is definitely a clunker. Keep away. 2.5/10
