Greg M The best part of this movie is when the how/why comes together at the end... thought it was clever and fresh. Overall the film has terrible acting except for the 'caretaker'... There’s a couple of good jump scares that work. As this movie rolls on, you will keep asking yourself, why don't they call the police, or at least ems when the wife clearly needs medical attention? Lol! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/11/25 Full Review John A Got a half hour in and just couldn't do it anymore. The acting is terrible, half the family is unlikable, and it seemed like most of what I watched was just scene after scene to say 'guns are scary!' Slow moving and bad acting. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/03/25 Full Review Eric B I grew up in Newtown by lake lillinonah and had friends in Sherman right by candlewood lake. This movie probably be better if it had better actors and a bigger budget actually I think if Rob Zombie and his crew did this it would be outstanding. It was such a a sad painful movie watch šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚. What a pathetic attempt and a shame for ruining this awesome legend of the flooded town where the church bell still rings with current of the water. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/15/25 Full Review Ben J This is painful to watch. The premise is good but the execution is terrible. The people are too stupid. The kicker? The crazy wife is holding a knife and the husband hugs her lovingly. Of course he's dead. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/10/25 Full Review Chris B Wish the film had adverts in it they would have been better Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/10/25 Full Review Leigh A I do not understand how this can be rated in the 70's. It's an awful movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/09/25 Full Review Read all reviews
