Director Jeff Celentano doles out jump-scares and spooky vibes with all the flair of an AI-assisted software package. At least there’s that moat to look at.

Rated: 2/5

MovieJawn

Overlong, overly reliant on clichés, and with so many fades to black that they loop back around from stylish to absurd, the film might kill an evening, but it won’t leave you itching to know who the killer is.

MacGuffin or Meaning (Substack)

Elizabeth Fowler’s adaptation of the B.A. Paris novel “The Break Down” is so clumsy that any sense of mystery or intrigue that exists is drowned out by inconsistent and ludicrous storytelling and expository dialogue.

Rated: 2/5

"'Blackwater Lane' suffers mightily from pacing issues, uninspired acting and a flimsy screenplay."

When the movie has barely begun you will have it all figured out.

Unfortunately, despite the potential of the premise, there's little in Blackwater Lane to get the blood pumping. Characterisation remains superficial, so it's hard to invest in anyone's fate.

Rated: 2/5

This movie felt like I was watching the same scene play over and over. I left without finishing it and I don’t think I missed much

Save yourself from watching this movie. Clichés, a predictable, and bad script.

“Trust the journey, both good and bad” it says. Unfortunately, this journey is all bad. Wow, what a dumb movie. Another what I refer to as a “Lifetime After Dark” movie. If the people who made this movie would have drank black water instead of making this movie we all could have been spared having to see it. Our predicament does improve slightly in the back half as the psychological aspects begin to take effect only to end up not psychological at all but something on another level of mental.

You know what would surprise me lately? If Dermot Mulroney played a good guy! Every movie for the past two decades with which he's involved he's ALWAYS the "surprising good guy," because he's still pretty good looking. BUT, for those of us who pay attention, with every movie (I think) since Magnolias, he is ALWAYS the "bad guy" and he's always trying to kill a much younger wife or step daughter. Lol Bitte, y'all are just SO lazy.

Thought this looked ok I was actually going to rent it awhile back but was on SYFY this morning. I will be honest this is really just a horrible movie, the main character lady is very annoying and dumb almost as annoying as her phone ring tone. The plot, if you could call it that has been done at least a few hundred thousand times and I would wager this is one of the worst. This is one of those movies that I ended up watching just so I could make fun of it.

Great cinematography, picture, and sound. However, I really didn't know what I was watching; it was very slow, dull, and lacked any particular characteristics to engage the viewer. The lead actress was dreary, I had to check her bio to make sure it wasn't due to some disability. For the first time I rooted for the entity to take her.
