Shallow Water

For me the only negative about Shallow Water is I would have loved to have seen the events which led up to the great twenty minutes I saw. Now that being said, the story wasn't hard to gather from what was shown. A group of friends going to an exotic place at the wrong time which had a deadly outcome for most of them.

The film itself was very well done for the time and budget placed upon it. The creature itself looked MARVELOUS and you can easily tell a lot of time and love went into its creation. For the short visit we have with the "Tiburonera" (translates to "he who hunts sharks"), gives us a glimpse at not just a monster but a world that mankind has been blind to and, in all honesty, which was probably for the better.

The cinematography was well executed and always gave the feel there was more on the other side of the four walled box we are viewing. The sets were lush and the steaming rain helped add to the feel that this was actually happening in some remote jungle somewhere.

Next to the creature itself, the music was an absolute favorite! Suspenseful and catching as our lone survivor flees for her life from the creature as also the music works well with the sounds and calls the Tiburonera makes.

So in the end for this being only a twenty minute film it brought with it an eagerness and want to see the see whole story from its beginning to end. Honestly though should that event never happen, then at least I got to see a part of it and can let my imagination do the rest!!
