Nana Gouvea in Black Wake (2018)
Strange events are happening such as people disappearing, irrational behavior and unexplainable deaths. Specialists gather in a top-secret facility to investigate and find that the common thread between the occurrences is water. One of the team's scientists (Nana Gouvea) examines video evidence and uncovers a possible parasitic explanation for the fatalities. But when a determined detective (Tom Sizemore, Saving Private Ryan) sends her the seemingly crazed writings of a mysterious homeless man (Jonny Beauchamp, Penny Dreadful), she learns that the actual threat may be more dangerous and far older than anyone ever imagined. Can she convince her colleagues (led by Eric Roberts, The Dark Knight) of the true danger before an ancient force rises from the sea to bring madness and death to all of humanity?

    I've been examining this film...

    Well, if you can call it a film. It completely lacks a coherent narrative. It makes no sense. It's just disjointed writing and crude images.

    Paraphrasing a line from the film of course, but it fits.

    Example: My colleagues - what few are left - are gone.

    Also, very hard to hear/understand some of the main actress' dialogue. I think her English actually improved during the course of the film, but I wish I had subtitles available.

    Got to give some credit for Lovecraftian horror theme though.

    Better not wake (up)

    No pun intended - sometimes I see ratings for movies and I think: it can't be that bad now can it? And then there are movies like this one, which remind me ... well I reckon it kind of can. No offense to anyone involved, I know making movies is not easy, even harder if you do not have any money/budget to speak of.

    Tom Sizemore - if you have seen the movie Heat or some other stuff he did a long time ago ... you may remember really liking him! I mean I still do ... and he needs money, if no one else is hiring him ... he has to do stuff like this. A movie that makes almost no sense and is way too late for the found footage hype .... and if you are not a fan from the start anyway ... the movie will not win you over ... quite the opposite will be happening.

    So bad it becomes a comedy.

    All I can think is "Oh Hai, Mark!" What starts out as a horribly, terribly acted movie soon turns into an embarassing mess of writing, acting, directing and unintentional butchering of the english language.

    But stick with it and you'll see some of the worst cinema you'll see in ages. It's worth it for the laughs! The main, terrible, actress (Nana) talks into a (web?) camera throughout the movie as a narrator of sorts. The camera is mounted above her forehead and she has to look up at it with her twisted smile, terrible acting, awful pronunciation and a psycho look in her eyes. It all seems intentionally comical, but -- its not. It's super serious and it's super super bad.

    The writing - oh wow - there are so many terrible quotes of cringe and nonsense, you'll feel like you're drunk trying to follow the dialogue. Just listen to it.. and it's really (unintentionally) funny-bad. Unlike tongue-in-cheek movies like the Sharknado series, this movie thinks its a seriously good flick, and it's hilarious to watch it try to pretend that it's an actual movie.

    It tries to be a found footage film in a lot of the scenes, but it often raises the question : "Who is filming this? Where did the camera to film that come from??" Its so poorly thought out, its awesome-bad.

    No it's not Tommy Wiseau bad, but it's pretty damn close. The main actress is worth it just to see how bad she is trying to be good.

    It's still worth a 1/10 - but if you watch it just to enjoy its worst-in-class acting and its worst-in-class dialogue, you certainly will get some laughs and some groans. Just don't think it's serious.. and you might want to stream it so you can move the slider to give yourself a bit of break from having to watch the whole thing.

    When a trailer is THAT BAD !!!

    I watched the trailer and that screamed unwatchable bilge ... How bad do films have to get before you don't call them films anymore, just pointless images on a screen that are on in the background as the dregs of society talk about their day in work and change the babies nappies ??? ... Well quite frankly the trailer was too much of a waste of life to even consider watching the film ... It is actually one of those times you actually look up the director and make sure you don't even bother watching a trailer if it involves the people who made this dross ... Hey look, I made a film ... No dear, you made a waste of equipment and wasted peoples time

    A Mess of the Highest Order

    I don't know why my local library stocked this, according to IMDB, hardly anybody has seen it, and I can see why. I don't how to review this total mess of a movie, so I'll just give you a few things that happen, and it is a found footage movie. First of all, the stars Eric Roberts has less than two minutes in the movie, and Tom Sizemore, has less than 3 minutes at the most. Some invading giant parasite has appeared in the Atlantic Ocean, and sends out these little parasites, that either causes peoples head to explode, or the people become zombies. The whole movie is told to us, from a lady that has viewed the tapes, and some kind of book that explains it all, but we, the audience gets no clue what it says. that's enough, the movie makes zero sense, the acting is horrible, and I have no idea where the writers ever got the idea to make this piece of crap. I would really like to know, if anybody else was silly enough to watch this. As I said, it didn't cost me anything, but anybody that borrows it from the library, is going to ask WTF. anyway, 1/5 and that one is for some of the practical effects that were not that bad. Stay way way clear of this trash....
