Viewing Notes
I’m not gonna lie, this movie scared the shit out of me. Not in the traditional “scary movie” sense, but in the “I just watched Jaws and no fucking way am I ever going in the ocean” way. Except instead of sharks, it’s crocodiles and instead of the ocean it’s mangrove swamps. Seriously, no fucking way am I ever going anywhere near a mangrove swamp. Ever.
This movie cuts to the chase pretty quickly, giving us just enough character development to make us care about what happens to the central trio of individuals. Even before things go south for our hapless trio, the tension is thick enough to cut with a knife. I pretty much spent 90% of the movie with teeth clenched and fingers curled in a death grip around the blanket on the couch. By the end of the movie, my muscles ached.
Such a great ‘real’ horror movie. Highly recommend a watch!
