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.

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.

Its so bad its ridiculousness. Super Nazi from the 40s on a ship sailing around for 60 years? Everything is just badly done. The whole movie was shot in the dark as if they couldn't afford lighting. It starts off as a terrorist movie and if they stuck to that agenda for the whole flick it would have been better. But no, lets put those evil German Nazi's into the movie, no wait, super Nazi's. Sigh' its always the Germans.

Its an insult to the American Navy, the Nazis's (if you can insult those idiots) and the Arabs alike.

I'm glad I watched this at work while I was meant to be working.

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?

OK...OK... It's not going to win any awards! But it is a great study (listen to directors comments) on how to make a low budget ($350,000) thriller in 15 days. Shot with two Panasonic HVX-200 HD camcorders on a docked WWII Liberty ship in LA, the 15 man crew did an amazing job in the cramped sets they had to work with... which is why the lighting is minimal. But isn't that the way it's supposed to be in the typical "spooky house" (the ship) movie. The writers simply cranked the script out after visiting this museum ship...and they acknowledge that much. They simply wanted to have fun making a movie. One unintentional hilarity is the similarity to part of the plot line to "Ghostbusters".
