Critic Reviews:
- " Writer-directors David Nerlich and Andrew Traucki calibrate the tension with creditable skill. " – David Gritten (Daily Telegraph, UK)
- " Packs enough shocks to keep you gripped, not to mention a conclusion that refreshingly refutes the genre rulebook. " – Neil Smith (Total Film)
- " “Black Water” is the scariest film of its type since “Jaws” – you'll wanna strap in for this one … otherwise you'll be continuously jumping out of your seat. One of the most genuinely scary films I've seen in a long time. " – Caffeinated Clint (Moviehole)
