Critics Consensus

It's unlikely to leave a lasting impression, but Black Water: Abyss may satisfy forgiving genre fans in search of a reasonably effective creature feature.

Black Water: Abyss is one of those movies that isn't particularly good but may not have to be if you're in the right mood.

Rated: 2/4

Variety

A tense thriller that nicely exploits a formulaic nature it doesn't quite transcend.

…a sorry excuse for a thriller with a lot of black water and not much croc to go around…

Rated: 1/5

Black Water: Abyss performs the work with above-average competence, but it struggles to stay afloat.

Rated: 8/10

Flick Feast

One should never smile at a crocodile and Black Water Abyss certainly doesn’t raise a smile but there is also a disappointing lack of screams in this lake flaccid thriller that ultimately lacks bite.

Rated: 2/5

No meu Ponto de vista o Filme é muito bom e o que chamou muita atenção sao os efeitos ( Crocodilos). Nao usaram aqueles efeitos chulos e péssimos como em outros longas fizeram em crocodilos . Eles parecem ser muito reais no filme, e tem suspense, tensao e ação, entao eu Aprovo !

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

One of the worst movies I have ever seen, I honestly wished the crocodile had eaten them all and swam off into the sunset. My family and I were rooting for the crocodile.

Don't put yourself or your family through this. Be better to each other.

Nonostante gli abnormi difetti, film che riesce a creare un senso di ansia e timore; segno che sarebbe bastata un po' più di qualità per rendere il prodotto interessante ed appetibile. Le atmosfere son ben costruite, senza esagerare nella scoperta delle grotte; il doppio nemico composto da acqua e coccodrillo offre un buon mix. Il problema sta in tutto il resto, il montaggio della trama ha delle incongruenze clamorose (acqua che sale a vista d'occhio ma grotta che non si riempie, i due ragazzi che per tornare fanno tratti sott'acqua che all'andata non hanno fatto ecc..). Errori madornali che non possono che far calare credibilità e qualità in maniera eccessiva. E l'ultima scena con l'auto che incredibilmente finisce al centro del fiume era sicuramente evitabile o quantomeno modificabile.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
