      Audience Member Whoever wrote this should be locked in a room with it on repeat until they die... It is one of the worst pieces of tripe I have ever had the misfortune to watch. If you want Nazis then watch Dead Snow. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Even taking into account that this is low-budget, Deadwater is truly a horrendous pile of crap. Watch this at your own peril. The film combines an element of supernatural horror and an action/adventure military flick, but fails on both counts and it's totally devoid of tension and suspense. The camera work and audio are crisp and professional-grade. The storyline, dialogue and acting are not. I thought with Lance Henriksen in this movie it wouldn't be so bad but I was wrong. A total waste of time. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Oh god, Lance Henrickson what have you become. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Lance Henriksen plays Captain John Willets, who along with a strike force team of marines is assigned to discover the reason why communcation was lost with a ship near Iran. Once there, it seems a supernatural, ghost-like forced wreckt havoc among the crew, and there are only a few survivors. The premise of the film is a bit silly, unbelievable, the film itself is a bit predictable, only reason to see it is the stability from Henriksen. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Definitely a B movie, although the plot wasn't horrible. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
