{action}- Lots of chasing.

{humor}- When speaking English adding an “o” to your words doesn’t help people who speak Spanish understand you.

{blood}- Some red some black. But some.

{gore}- A little. Great makeup effects.

{nudity}- what would a horror movie be without it.

{acting}- Great.

{plot}- HPLOVECRAFT. Enough said.

{film quality}- Very good, thank you. Cinematography is not always the best.

{entertainment factor}- very suspenseful.

{Aprox. amount of time spent fast forwarding}-


In my film watching experience there are not a lot of good things that can come from someone making a movie adaptation of an HP Lovecraft story. Especially one that starts with a Open Water feel (which is still not a necessarily a bad thing but combined with Lovecraft?). This move quickly turns into a supsensful well thought out horror film that stands on its own aside from the Horror master. A group of people are out on a boat. When their boat hits a rock one of them is trapped so one stays with her and two go for help. What they find is a town full of a strange sort of fish people with a very demonic look. They are separated and now must struggle to surive. Finally a movie that is actually scary.
