You can't get much more unfiltered than this. It reminds me of that film about piranhas where one swims up the chick and does some damage from the inside. Pretty bold filmmaking but not a lot in terms of substance, most films about water, sharks, crocodiles, enter any aquatic creature here, are like that.
I tried to watch one the other week called Below the Lake or something close to that, where a group of teens were stranded on a row boat in the middle of a lake (yes, a fucking lake), and they were hassled by a big funky-ass looking fish (yes, a fucking fish). Probably the worst film I've ever struggled through up till the third act, purely out of curiosity for how these idiots are actually going to get to the shore which appeared to be less than 30metres away.
Hahahaha, curiosity killed the cat right?.
I guess that's just what keeps us hanging till the very end, just so we can get to whatever the fuck is gonna be it's end story.
To be my absolute honest and shitty self, I'd say I stocked around this one because it was both horrific and phonographic, literally...
And now that you mentioned it, I do tend to realize all movies played in River scenes end up telling no shit, and it's fucked up am just realizing. Mann, from now I'll be more careful choosing films to waste my day on...
I turn off films once I've seen the start of the third act very often, lol. It's kind of like "yeah, I know what's going to happen and I'm not losing another 30 more minutes of my time".
Hahaha, I can only do that if I wasn't interested from the start, but else that, am like glued to the seats till the end meets me and I realize half my day is gone...
