The Outwaters (2022)
1/10
An assault on the senses
20 February 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Where to start with this sorry excuse for a movie. I love found footage and was excited for a new entry, but the "cinematography" in this movie was painful, both literally and figuratively. The sounds alone in this movie made me want to leave the theater. The constant screeching and high pitched noises not only served no purpose but literally hurt my ears. There's one scene where it's a full minute of it and NOTHING HAPPENS. Besides that, the first half of the movie is dreadfully boring, then when things appear to start picking up, chaos ensues...in the absolute worst possible way. I expected shaky camera angles, of course, but not 45 minutes of literal darkness or blur. The very end adds some shock mutilation for no reason at all, to shamefully goad a reaction perhaps, but I was mentally long done with it by then. Worst of all, the concept was actually interesting, but the execution was inexcusably bad.

Don't waste your time, folks. I'm going to watch Hell House again lol.
