Review of Stillwater

I didn't know what to expect going into Stillwater, it was yet another pick & mix film and I assumed it would be a horror. I can assure it isn't.

Playing out like a thriller/mystery it tells the story of the reuniting of a group of friends for a camping trip but it all goes horribly wrong when one is later found dead. This causes the friends to turn on one another as the fear & paranoia sets in.

Stillwater is very dull in places, very lifeless which is a shame because it does have a lot going for it. The cast are 50/50, the cinematography is passable and overall though not the most original film it manages to remain fresh.

I don't know why I felt it was so underwhelming, something just didn't sit right with me and I was left feeling that Stillwater should have been better.

There are worse ways of killing 90 minutes and for what it is it's a passable affair regardless of my criticism.

The Good:

Decent twist

Well enough made

The Bad:

Very drab in places

Weak delivery of a good enough story

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

We never did find out how you can kill a person with foot cream!
