I assume that you've already read the synopsis of this film, since you've come this far into the listings to get to my review here. I see no need to waste my time with the banality of the plot line and with the giving away of any part of this...wannabe.
I don't generally watch films in this genre, (slasher flicks, as I like to call them) but I very reluctantly agreed to go and see this with a friend, because he had no one else he could ask to go and see it with. It was every bit as awful as I anticipated it would be.
Perhaps that's a little harsh. I found the story to be very well thought out, and I found the direction to be outstanding. I've given the film a vote of five stars just for that reason, and no other. The subject matter is what I have a problem with. I don't care how many fancy or boring sets you create, a slasher flick is still just that...a slasher flick. This one was no exception to the rule.
Nothing new here...move along...move along...

"Waterbourne" had a lot of potential, and it's really a shame that someone with the cash didn't pick it up and make it properly. It deals with the fears and absolute terror that come when one is deprived of one of the very necessities of life...water, and the desperate things that one will do in order to survive. As one reviewer has said before, it's like a cross between "Crash", and another disaster movie like "Earthquake" or something else equally earth-shattering.
I lived through 30 days of no water during the floods of 1993 here in the Midwest of the United States (Des Moines, IA), and this film probably comes closest to demonstrating the fear that was experienced by many people during the first 24-48 hours after we realized that our water supply for a city this size was shot. Luckily for us, we didn't experience a situation like "Waterbourne" displayed for us. Our people pulled together, and worked together. We gained strength from our situation. This, unfortunately wasn't an aspect shown in this film.
Not a bad movie, but not a great movie either. As previously stated by another reviewer, the camera work is very rough. It's definitely a thinking persons movie though...very dark and foreboding, so if you enjoy that type of movie then this is the one for you! I wouldn't recommend this for any person with psychological difficulties or anyone seriously disturbed by thoughts of terrorism. It has the potential to mess with your mind.
