Dead in the Water

About This Movie

So, 'Dead in the Water' has this interesting vibe, right? It’s a thriller, but not quite in the conventional sense. You’ve got Tara, who’s reeling from a breakup, and Amy, her best friend, trying to spice things up at a family lake house. They encounter this charming yet enigmatic guy that somehow shifts the whole weekend into a tense spiral. The pacing feels deliberate, building tension and unease as the layers peel back. The practical effects are minimal but effective, keeping it grounded amidst the psychological twists. The performances really stand out too, especially how the dynamics play out between the characters. It’s not your typical formula, which gives it a unique edge within the TV movie sphere.
