Black Water: Abyss is one of those movies that isn't particularly good but may not have to be if you're in the right mood. Go to Full Review

A tense thriller that nicely exploits a formulaic nature it doesn't quite transcend. Go to Full Review

One should never smile at a crocodile and Black Water Abyss certainly doesn’t raise a smile but there is also a disappointing lack of screams in this lake flaccid thriller that ultimately lacks bite. Go to Full Review

Pepe L @pjaguilar Dec 29 I dont know what the majority of reviewers were expecting, but it's a fairly decent action - suspense movie... not once i had the need to fast forward, nor to exit the stream. A little slow, but the pace works very well with the story. Simple? Yes. Entertaining? Oh yeah!!! Don't get caught in the bad reviews, watch it and enjoy for what it is: a fairly good suspense/psychological terror B-Movie. See more Ana G Mar 18 Kind of boring, unlikeable characters, not enough crocodile to my taste See more Paperback S 10/07/2023 While the first movie was a brutal and emotional crunch, this one slowly drowned me into boredom See more Emilliano S @emill_santos 06/02/2023 Slight improvement from the first one. See more Julio N 05/12/2022 No meu Ponto de vista o Filme é muito bom e o que chamou muita atenção sao os efeitos ( Crocodilos). Nao usaram aqueles efeitos chulos e péssimos como em outros longas fizeram em crocodilos . Eles parecem ser muito reais no filme, e tem suspense, tensao e ação, entao eu Aprovo ! See more 04/23/2022 One of the worst movies I have ever seen, I honestly wished the crocodile had eaten them all and swam off into the sunset. My family and I were rooting for the crocodile.
