The Black Water Vampire

In the town of Black Water, WA, four women have been killed in the woods within the last forty years. Documentarian Danielle decides to make of movie about the events and brings a production crew of three to the town to investigate.

The women had been found mutilated and with bite marks. No blood was found at the crime scenes. A man is on death row for the murders and Danielle doesn't believe he is guilty.

They interview the convicted man, who seems crazy, and writes a symbol on the partition glass in blood, but doesn't give them much by the way of answers.

Next they go on a hike in the snowy woods to visit the crime scenes and gather what information they can. This is where the real action starts. The movie gets pretty interesting here as they are stalked in the woods.

People will draw comparisons to The Blair Witch Project here, fairly, since it does follow the same formula. The one review I skimmed said that it was wrong to show the creature, that what you don't see is scarier, a la Blair Witch. This is not true of course. Depending on what movie you are making and what you intend for the audience, both ways can be very effective, and it works here.

I had a lot of fun with this movie, especially the last two scenes, which pay homage to two very popular horror movies. 7/10.

This is just terrible. There was a long drawn out beginning that amounted to a very poor middle and a pathetic end.

I get the concept of "Found video tapes" but feel that it was done and gone away with Blair Witch.

This film and story line would have suited a traditional filming method but the ending should have been given a lot more thought.

There is no originality with this film, which is a real shame because there are so many books out there that can provide the film makers with a truly terrifying story that could be portrayed on film.

The vampire him/itself was very much along the lines of the original Nosferatu, with no fangs to speak of, but actually the only highlight of the whole film.

Opinion is really a personal thing, and if you like this whole found tape thing, then you might enjoy it.

Me, I am going to stick with the proper way of filming and watch the "jump out of your skin" films.

This movie is exactly like The Blair Witch Project in the snow for about 9/10 of it. The acting is okay. The story is okay. Because it's literally TBWP. Then it takes a sharp turn into vampire territory. I wouldn't have minded that if it was a surprise. But, when the title of your movie has the word Vampire in it, it's hard to overlook. I kinda liked it. The vampire is creepy as hell and the ending nods to some other cult movies.

This FF horror is made in a style that hundreds of other FF horrors were made , a group getting lost in the forest, hearing strange noises at night etc, it just feels like any other FF horror you have seen before.

While the one hour or so was cliched, the last 22 mins , was absolutely terrifying and insane with the last scene before ending being the most disturbing one highlighting a cult that exists in the Black Water area. There is one jump scare (related to Anthony where he got killed) as well near the end which was very well timed and really shot me off my bed.

Watch it in a cozy silent night and you will enjoy it although it feels a ripoff of many other FF horrors of this kind.

Yes, I am still fan of the Found Footages, there are some good one out there but those get over shadows by so many bad ones, just like this movie.

First hour is was just re-make of THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT , instead word Witch was Vampire.

The set up of movie was same as ^.

How they interview the people about Witch in TBWP, the same thing happens here, then they Vampire makes marks in the wood, just like the Witch made those signs in the wood.

And did something mark there tent, yes, a bit like the rock signs out of the tent in TBWP and if that was not bad enough , the first hour of the movie, was very, very, very, very boring.

However unlike THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT , they do show creature and the last 20 mins were things start happen. ( I was so bored by then, I could care less what happens, I just wanted the movie to end.)

When finally get to see the Vampire looked more like creature then anything, I didn't find it scary at all, I actually find it funny looking and every time appeared out of the blue , I laughed .

There was small sub plot near the end of the movie, were one the campers were taken by it and lead to very strange but funny ending.

I don't know if ending was meant to creepy but I found the scene odd but very funny at the same time.

3 out of 10 if wasn't for last 15 mins, I would have gave it a zero!

Avoid this movie and just Check out Chasing the Devil (2014) Much better movie and one fav out found footage genre.
