Black Water (2007) 7/10

Starring : Diana Glenn, Maeve Dermody, Andy Rodoreda, Ben Oxenbould
Director : David Nerlich & Andrew Traucki
Running Time : 86 mins

A group of friends get stranded in the mangrove swamps of Northern Australia and find themselves under attack from a very big, very clever crocodile, which immediately eats their guide Jim (Oxenbould). As the survivors hide from the crocodile up a tree, they start to fear that they may never escape as no-one knows where they are.

This was a tense horror movie which doesn’t use jump tactics and gore to drive the story forward. Instead there is a very well paced use of tension which progresses through the movie, using as little as possible to get the most reactions from the audience. Well worth watching if you like tense thrillers or gore free horrors.
