BD Review: ‘The Black Waters of Echo’s Pond’ Just Ain’t Scary
Another horror film in limited release starting today is Seven Arts’ The Black Waters of Echo’s Pond, which Ryan Daley didn’t enjoy all that much. “Black Waters almost works as a psychological thriller. Sure, the acting is mediocre and the dialogue is contrived, but co-writer/director Gabriel Bologna still manages to set a decent pace…The problem starts and ends with this: Black Waters isn’t scary. At all. Ever. Not once.” Click the title above for the full review, and of course write your own review to tell us all what you think.
