Aquaslash

The entire pay off to this movie is in the trailer but they stretch it out over a third of the movie, while the first third is just pointless partying and highschool drama... I would avoid this movie... seriously... it's that bad.

One of the worst writing and acting I have ever seen! I've seen plenty of "B" movies or straight-to-DVD movies, and I've never seen such nonsensical carelessness by the whole film's cast and crew. I don't think this director knew much English as that's why the dialogue was written so terribly. No normal human talks or behaves the way every single character acted in this movie. Editing was also so lazy, I can't believe somebody was paid serious money to do this!

"Your dead father left you the whole estate." Girl turns around -- "Oh my God..." -- with a blank stare.

Guy covered in blood, screaming -- "Don't go into the slide! Something is wrong!" Another guy rolls his eyes -- "Dude relax! You need to chill..." -- as he jumps into the slide and dies.

Let me start by saying I love Horror movies, especially slasher flicks. The idea of the movie was really quite good and original, unfortunately, the script and pace of the movie were awful. On the plus side, cinemaphotography was pretty good, and the acting was a lot better than in some horror movies I've seen. The Reason I've given it 3 stars rather than 5, movie lasts 70 mins, 50 mins of it are boring.

All I knew about this 2019 movie titled "Aquaslash" when I sat down to watch it late in 2020 was that it was a horror movie of sorts. I hadn't heard about the movie prior to watching it, nor did I know what it was about. But it being a horror movie and a movie that I hadn't already seen was more than sufficient to make me spend time to sit down and watch it.

And while "Aquaslash" certainly was no classic or masterpiece within the horror genre, the movie just felt rather pointless. I mean, the storyline was almost next to non-existing, and there was literally nothing much contents to the plot and script, and that made for a rather mundane and sort of pointless movie. And little did it help that it is only about the last 15-20 minutes of the movie or so that were worth watching.

The acting in the movie was actually quite alright, taking into consideration that abysmal lack of proper storyline. I wasn't familiar with the cast in the movie, and that was something I enjoyed.

For a horror movie then "Aquaslash" just didn't have any splash to it - pardon the pun. It was a movie that came and went without much of an impact, much less leaving a lasting impression. I managed to sit through the movie to the end, but I wasn't particularly entertained.

The gore and effects in the movie were actually good enough, but it was just too little and too late in the movie, so it couldn't really do much to lift up the movie and steer it back on track.

My rating of "Aquaslash" lands on a mere three out of ten stars.

Aquaslash is a terrible film with less than stellar performances and a plot that makes very little sense for much of the time. Sure, there are some decent gore moments, but not a lot happens for stretches of time (and it is a short film) and so the slasher element of the title is somewhat limited. If you want a very good pool-based horror see, well, The Pool and so you may wish to slide away from Aquaslash.
