Still Waters

About This Movie

Still Waters (2011) has this eerie, unsettling vibe that creeps under your skin. The rural Queensland setting adds a layer of isolation, which really heightens the tension. Ben's character is marked by something sinister, and the way that unfolds creates a slow burn that keeps you guessing. Sally’s obliviousness to the danger makes the stakes feel real and personal. The practical effects are not overdone; they’re used sparingly but effectively, contributing to the film's haunting atmosphere. The pacing is deliberate, allowing dread to build as the story progresses. It's a mix of horror and sci-fi that explores themes of possession and fate, making it a curious entry in its genre.
