      Audience Member Worst film to ever exist Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review r 9 A solid horror thriller. 'The Drownsman' showcases a freaky eponymous antagonist, whose M.O. is to kill women via drowning. It's a pretty cool film concept, which they make work well. It isn't scary at all, at least not to me, but I was interested and satisfied the whole way through. The cast members each do good jobs. Michelle Mylett gives a decent performance as Madison, while Caroline Palmer, Gemma Bird Matheson, Sydney Kondruss and Clare Bastable support adequately as Madison's group of friends. Nothing to shout from the rooftops about, but this leaves a sufficient impression despite some plot flaws. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Nothing like being scared of water lmfao oh no a rainy day lol this movie has bad writing its heavy handed acting sucks and not worth anyones time cheesy with a bunch of cliches you dont spend any time with these people before they die so when they do you dont care and everybody drowns and you dont have to watch it to the end to guess which one of the girls is his daughter 0/5 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Absolute unmitigated crap. Simply beyond belief. Seriously, just watch it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Okay, so this film has a killer cover/poster image, but everything else about it is just kinda cheesy. The basic story is after a year of struggling with a fear of water after almost drowning, a young woman's friends decide to have an intervention when she misses one of their weddings, like that was the final straw, since it inconvenienced the bride or something. When they delve into the mysterious figure she's been haunted by, they draw it to them and are now at the mercy of a supernatural figure, ho-hum. This was just really not what I was hoping it to be and it certainly never got as cool as that DVD cover. Rental? Or maybe just a pass? Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Some original concepts at play in the lore of the story, but the film itself couldn't be more paint-by-numbers.

      Matt Donato We Got This Covered The Drownsman is a fresh concept, but can we really be scared by a monster who could be lurking in a water bottle? Rated: 4/10 May 20, 2015 Full Review Dustin Putman TheFrightFile.com Aims to build dread over aqua but instead creates frustration over its own inexcusable senselessness. Rated: 1/4 May 13, 2015 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews The seemingly endless climactic stretch confirms The Drownsman's place as a rather worthless homegrown endeavor... Rated: 1.5/4 Oct 24, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews
