The Boat

Slow paced, but couldn't take my eyes off his struggles. Claustrophobic. The gaze up through the water, heart beat... Is he drowning? Is the boat ferrying him to hell or being resuscitated back to life, punishing him?

My advice is to anyone wanting to watch this is if you don't like films where there is very little dialogue and things that remain unexplained and left to the imagination then maybe skip this one. However the concept and execution of what this is trying to be was well done. Not sure why one of the other reviewers had to have a pop at the director / dad of the star of this as it doesn't really describe the film to the rest of us in any way. But If you like "film" and have patience and enjoy a little bit of horror and suspense thrown in there, you'll enjoy it.

What you see in the trailer is what you get. All that is needed is a good climax. But a 90 minute feature length film is a tad too much. This could have been easily done within 20 minutes. OK, even 20 minutes is too much, 10 minutes would have been a suspenseful drama. I fast forwarded a lot of scenes. When I say a lot, I mean a lot. The climax is an ode to 'All's well that ends well'. But sitting through 90 minutes is a torture. The trailer was good though.

This is a Twilight Zone movie. Just missing Rod Serling at the start and end. But maybe he would say something like "A boat can be your best friend or your worst nightmare." Great entertainment.

I didn't expect much and it turned out to be quite alright. Makes you want to keep watching and maybe this is the effect of the current lockdown in 2021 but felt like it was intense and mysterious till the end. Always liked a sea film and this doesn't disappoint despite a one man, one place scenario.
