The Outwaters

I really want to call the movie something else, but it would be an enormous spoiler. The good thing about the movie is the crazy shit starts about halfway into it. So it's not just the last 5 minutes. 

 

The bad news is, whoever decided a pinhole flashlight was the way to go should be kicked out of making movies. The "movie" is more of a dramatic audio horror than anything. It takes "can't see shit" to a whole new level. 

 

What I can say about the ending, is that it's a blatant rip off of another movie, and was a cheap way out of explaining the movie. It could have gone in so many other amazing directions *cough* *cough* Cthulhu *cough* *cough*, but took the literal cheapest explanation possible. It would have been better off with no explanation. 

 

Alternate title: 

Spoiler

Found Footage Jacob's Ladder

Watched this last night and had pretty much the same thoughts.

 

When shit started going down I was really on board, but when I realized the next 45 minutes was seeing everything through a pinhole light, it became apparent that this is because they have no budget, not just a creative decision. It became a bit tiresome actually and ruined a lot of the tension for me.
