Minka Kelly is just trapped in this thing, asked to play a character who’s more of a thing to be manipulated than an actual protagonist; to be fair, we can’t help but empathize with her, and hope that she’ll fall asleep and wake up in another movie.

What a Scream Podcast

With clunky dialogue and a weak narrative, Blackwater Lane never really elevates itself any higher than a made-for television pulp novel adaptation...

Rated: 1/5

Culture Mix

The time-wasting mystery thriller Blackwater Lane is an inferior adaptation of B.A. Paris' popular 2017 novel The Breakdown. This soulless movie ruins the book's story with a nonsensical narrative and lackluster acting.

Common Sense Media

Listless and overlong and full of mostly unlikable characters, this thriller seems to have taken a perfectly decent murder plot and gutted it, exposing how utterly absurd it really is.

Rated: 2/5

The Black Cape (Medium)

Blackwater Lane is like a classic, Gothic horror. It opens with all the horror elements, but in the last half, the film switches up. There's a harsh reality check. It becomes a whodunit that questions societal issues with mental illness and classism.

Despite the lead actress, I enjoyed it up until about 10 minutes before it ended.

Well this is easy, You can't ask for better actors or better acting, I think for the most part everyone did a great job with what they were asked to do with their roles. What you can ask for is a better script. This was horribly written and all over the place. It wasn't just the wife that was having memory issues and feelings of losing their mind but it's like 10 different people wrote a section of the script that had nothing to do with the other scenes and they put them together with bad cuts or bad transitions from one scene to the next and while they tried to do some wrap up at the end explaining everything that was just a mess also. They had very talented actors and they made them act out a crappy script a huge waste of talent.

Terrible. I’ll tell you what it was like. It was like reading a book but your (my) imagination is pedestrian at best. You (me) fail to paint the full picture because adhd brain rushes the narrative and flash bangs all the details. The plot and main character think they are clever but, alas, they’re as clever as this viewer’s ability to muse scenes worth watching (reading).
