The Outwaters

Total embarrassment to Found Footage horror.

You get an hour of the most boring and monotonous story you can imagine followed by maybe the most nonsensical trash I've ever seen. There's no rhyme or reason. No coherent storyline. Why is this happening? Better yet, what is happening? I have no idea.

Loud noises. They love the loud noises.

Random flashes of..stuff.

No idea what is happening.

Lots of blood from an attack by..?? No idea.

Main character walks around being weird.

Still no idea what is happening.

Lots of lights, weird imagery, and fast shaky shots of..no idea.

More loud noises Main character gets even weirder.

The end.

I have no idea what happened and I don't even care. This was like an art-house attempt at being weird for the sake of being weird. The only thing that stands out about this movie is the audio. Without that, you might have the most pointless found footage film of all time. You probably still do.

PS. Bloody Disgusting and primarily Brad, really lose a ton of credibility for hyping this movie up. I didn't realize they had money in it. Also, check the reviews with the high scores and you'll see the users just joined and this is the only movie they've ever reviewed.

First off I will say that I very much enjoy horror movies, be it action, found footage, si-fi, oldschool, etc. A good movie is a good movie, but this however is not. I have never written a review before for any movie but this one was so bad that I was compelled to. I paid for this movie and with about 30mins left I had to shut it off, it was just that bad. The plot was terrible, it made no sense whatsoever, there was nothing connecting me to a single character. The footage gave me a headache considering most of the movie is shot looking at a pinhole flashlight. I hate to say it but... garbage.

The Outwaters is a relatively ambitious but ultimately boring and self-indulgent Found Footage film. Despite the clear effort, and some truly excellent sequences- the majority of this film is very boring and lacks a clear direction. There is almost no characterization, very little plot, and very annoying sound design. Considering the circumstances around this movie (the budget, and the fact that this is basically a one man mission) - You can't help but be impressed at this ambitious mess at times. I hope that this director continues to improve, being a fellow New-Jerseyan, but I will never be re-visiting this one.

Horrible. I'd honestly rather watch paint dry. It's like watching someone's home movies for much longer than you want to; home movies of someone you don't even really know all that well. Pure torture. I'm not sure what people are smoking when they say it's the most terrifying movie they've ever seen, because I wasn't terrified one bit; just bored to death. And the characters? Oh my, they were so annoying. I honestly wanted them to get it in the end because they deserved it after the pain it put us through. I cannot believe this movie gets compared to Blair Witch because it is not even in the same galaxy of greatness.

Terrible plot, bad camera work (especially since the main character is a cameraman), bad lighting. I felt like I was looking through a glory hole for 90 minutes.

This is what happens when someone tells you that you just need to get out there and shoot a film. You don't need money, actors, script, fx, or any of the other trapping that make up a films closing credits. Just run around, throw gallons of syrup on your feet, throw in an occasional wiener/boob visual (you know for those edgy scenes to make it legit adult horror) and presto; some people will show up.

The best part of this film was probably some of the sounds. Too bad film is a visual medium.
