Enuattii

If you are not interested in history of native Americans, then this is the film for you. No such tribe, no totem poles in Ohio. The group are walking around like they are in deepest dark Peru. Then there is the acting ig that is what you would call it. Research people. Important.

Needless to say that I had never heard about this movie titled "Enuattii" (aka "Beast of the Water") prior to stumbling upon it by random chance here in 2023. I wasn't harboring any expectations to the movie, but still opted to watch it since it was a movie that I hadn't already seen, and on the off-chance that it might actually be a good movie.

The storyline in "Enuattii", while having some promise to it, just utterly fell to the floor, because the narrative was insanely slow paced and mundane. And there was nothing thrilling or exciting to be experienced as the movie trotted on in a very dull pace. Needless to say, that I ended up not finishing the movie, because it was too dull to watch. Writers Rick Prince and Lee Bateman just failed to step up and deliver a properly entertaining script.

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, nor were I particularly impressed with what I saw, as it felt somewhat sluggish and amateurish. But then again, the actors and actresses didn't really have much of anything solid to work with in terms of script, dialogue and character gallery.

For a horror movie, then the only thing scary about it was how utterly pointless and slow paced it was. I have to say that I was by no means impressed with what director Rashaad Santiago delivered here.

My rating of "Enuattii" lands on a one out of ten stars.

It's not a blockbuster so be aware of what you are getting into. The monster looks pretty great for the budget level. The practical effects are convincing. There are a few recognizable names/faces thrown in there to give the film legitimacy. Overall, a fun and decent monster movie.

My title says it all save yourselves and do not watch this movie.

Some of the actors were quite good (others not so much), so I held out hope initially. But as the movie progressed, very little happened to keep my attention, and the monster looked like something created by a bunch of gradeschoolers. Kept dozing off so never got all the way through it. I can't imagine I missed the good parts.
