WOW! I saw Shallow Water today. It was absolutely amazing. Time flew and left me feeling like "What, it's over already". You felt like you were there with the main character as this incident unfolded. True horror because there was nothing hokey in it and you didn't have humor or any other distraction being used break the tension. I'm an adult. I don't need to be given time to unwind during intense sequences. The creatures weren't humanized in anyway which made them very terrifying, very threatening and sheer predators. Star Trek and the Borg and Predator movies are great examples of this. They started with those characters as unstoppable, invincible nightmares. But as soon as the humanization of the characters and their vulnerabilities were exposed, they lost that terrifying element! This film leaves you fearful! I'll be thinking twice before going into the wilds alone! It shows what an artist can do when they don't have inexperienced higher-ups shoving their demands and childish ideas down the creators throat. This needs to be a full fledged and full length movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DAMN SANDY!!!!!
I am an old school monster guy and love the classics. Shallow Water took me back to a era long lost in this current new world of Green screen and CG effects. Sandy Collora is also an old school FX guy with that same vision of an era long lost. This 20 minute short takes place on real locations with practical effects and a good old fashion man in a creature suit. (Brilliantly played by Kurt Carley and Jason Liles)
While this was about a monster, the star of the show was Lisa Roumain who without any dialogue carries off and amazing performance. Working in harsh conditions, she pulls off every emotion possible in the 20 minute short. Shallow Water was originally slated to be a feature film but was shortened as a Kickstarter project. I would have loved to see what Sandy could have done with a decent budget and a crew for a Shallow Water feature length film.
As for the plot, I am not one to give spoilers so on that note, there is high energy and the sounds blew me away. There is just enough of a creature and actor ratio to fill the 20 minutes.
I am looking forward to the next project from Sandy Collora.

I skimmed some of the other reviews, and clearly, some of these people have an ax to grind with someone. Yes, I wish it had been the feature- length film that was originally envisioned and planned, but the realities of life and business prevented that. Because it's now a short, I'm willing to overlook a lot of things that I would expect in a longer film. As it is, I found it to be a lot of fun, and very well shot, directed, and acted. For a little over fifteen minutes, I was entertained with a classic-style monster film. That was enough.
Wow! I have been waiting to see this for awhile , and it was well worth it! This is such a well made short film , and I want and need more! As a monster fan I loved the designs , well made beautiful monster suits. Yes ladies and gentlemen old school practical Effects ! The film looks beautiful , the music adds to the suspense of the story. I can't say enough good things about this project without sounding like a total fanboy. No spoilers here , but I will say the ending of the film will have you wanting to know more! Please Sandy make more , absolutely loved this!
For me the only negative about Shallow Water is I would have loved to have seen the events which led up to the great twenty minutes I saw. Now that being said, the story wasn't hard to gather from what was shown. A group of friends going to an exotic place at the wrong time which had a deadly outcome for most of them.
The film itself was very well done for the time and budget placed upon it. The creature itself looked MARVELOUS and you can easily tell a lot of time and love went into its creation. For the short visit we have with the "Tiburonera" (translates to "he who hunts sharks"), gives us a glimpse at not just a monster but a world that mankind has been blind to and, in all honesty, which was probably for the better.
The cinematography was well executed and always gave the feel there was more on the other side of the four walled box we are viewing. The sets were lush and the steaming rain helped add to the feel that this was actually happening in some remote jungle somewhere.
Next to the creature itself, the music was an absolute favorite! Suspenseful and catching as our lone survivor flees for her life from the creature as also the music works well with the sounds and calls the Tiburonera makes.
So in the end for this being only a twenty minute film it brought with it an eagerness and want to see the see whole story from its beginning to end. Honestly though should that event never happen, then at least I got to see a part of it and can let my imagination do the rest!!
