Deadwater

I would give it a 5 out of 10 as far as rated b movies are concerned. Maybe even a 6 if you add munchies. It reminds me of the video game wolfenstein. One slight naked scene with the beautiful Katherine Randolph's .

You have your WWII-era battleship an evil Nazi entity, enormous amounts of bloody body parts, dead corpse hanging upside down. At first I couldn't figure out who killed everyone on the waters and how did they escape or did they? To find out as the movie progressed it might be a ghost! How do you fight a supernatural being? you'll have to watch the movie. don't forget the popcorn! definitely watchable.

While the movie starts off strong, good background, decent acting and suspenseful script..... it kinda heads south about midway. The scene where the female, girl soldier gets all bloody was OK, until she had to have a shower in the middle of murder, deaths, and Kaos ..... Who does that? Then the plot slowly fades till the end with more deaths and her glowing eyes......I'm still trying to grasp what transpired... Not a clear ending. I've played through it several times and i just sort of made up my own ending. Seems the script writers just went on break and never came back. Sad, because this could have been so much more.

Oh when oh when will I learn not to let my absolute adoration of Lance Henrikson make me sit through even extremely bad films Ie. pretty much anything post-"Millennium". This brain-dead little number is no different. Attempting to tie a Iraq war film with a supernatural ghost story may work on paper, but this is not paper and the result is an absolute mess that's nearly unwatchable. Bad acting, bad special effects, incoherent storyline. One can go right down the list of bad film-making 101 and put checks down it. The sad thing is I KNOW this won't be the last movie I watch from Henrikson, i still believe the guy rocks. But it will be the last Roel Reine flick that I watch.

My Grade: D-

DVD Extras: Director's commentary; One night on the set; Alternate opening; deleted scenes; Trailer for this movie; and trailers for "War, Inc.", "Player 5150", "Day of the Dead", "Three Days to Vegas", "Jack & Jill Vs. the World", "the Amateurs", & "Rockaway"

Well, to say that BLACK OPS (a.k.a DEAD WATER) is Oscar gold would probably anger a lot of people who have seen it, but for me as a horror fan, it was like watching a movie with my TV turned off, everything that mainly took place in dark areas you couldn't see and the places that were supposed to be well lit, seemed like the light was cast by using very cheap bed lamps, honestly the lighting effects in this film are so poor adjusting your TV's contrast makes it look like your watching a fog bank, the storyline is uninteresting, plainly put, the acting seems decent but the dialog was poor so the acting is more shallow Overall, If you don't like a movie that mainly takes place in the dark and don't have an interesting storyline, well try something else of course.

Or is it "onboard"? Well whatever it is (and emphasis on the "it"), there are far better efforts out there than this one. It tries pretty hard and unfortunately thinks it's more clever than it is. Still with no expectations at all, you might have a somewhat rewarding experience ... On the other hand, you could do a lot better with your time and watch a Lance Henriksen movie, where the movie is good too.

It's shot nicely though and there are a few nice scares (though it does suffer as some movies, from a strong beginning and very fast drop after that). The effects are good too, but that's almost it. A friend of mine told me, that there might be a music "mistake" at the end too. But why bother looking for a mistake like that?
