A breath of fresh air for fans of found footage
9 April 2020
"The Black Water Vampire" accomplishes everything it set out to do. Not that it has the most original script or anything, but the execution is spot on.

There are no lazy jump scares and the pacing never drags. In my opinion, there was no wasted screen time and I was never bored. It's not super terrifying or anything but there are some good scary moments.

My only complaint is that for some reason... They used a soundtrack... and it wasn't even a good one. It added absolutely nothing to the experience and slightly cheapened the feel of the film. It would've been a lot better off without it.

Oh and the very last scene was a little goofy. But I think they stuck the landing.

If you are a fan of indie FF horror, you will most likely enjoy it. If found footage isn't your jam, it probably won't change your mind. It's worth a shot though!
