.........In the opening scene the girl walks up the jetty in shoes, close up on her face, she turns back, long shot again aaaaaaaand she's wearing flip flops. They even make a point of the flip flip being found in the water for God's sake! I swear, if there is any money in this stuff I've missed a trick. How bad a director do you have to be!?!? Lol.

Sorry Zoë
CrunchyBug22 May 2016
I'm a sucker for a creature feature, but I just couldn't get through this one. Zoë Bell did her best. Most of the actors did, in fact. I've seen worse. Much worse. But you can't make a silk purse of a sow's ear. You just end up with a weird lookin' purse and a really angry pig.
Or something like that.
In any case, for me the two big problems were editing and visual effects. Obviously, in a creature feature, visual effects are your bread and butter. And, sadly, the bread and butter in this movie made for one laughable sandwich. I've seen smartphone apps that could superimpose digital effects more convincingly. Made me feel bad for the monster. Poor fella.
As for the editing, it was just a bit... wonky. People standing still for just a beat too long at the start of a scene, for example. Just makes things seem a bit unnatural. And the movie's editing woes gave some scenes a really odd sense of timing. For example, the scene where the lady's playing fetch with her dog, Fluffy. Oddly cut and oddly timed with weird shots of a dog standing alone in the weeds... If you haven't seen the movie and you're a kinda confused trying to picture what I just said in your head, that's pretty much what it feels like watching the scene, too.
I was really hoping I'd like this one, but I just couldn't. I'm sorry, Zoë.

The movie should've been bitten by the alligator
bronzeplayer9 November 2020
Overall, the movie should've been bitten by the alligator.
I'm a Zoe Bell fan but this was not her best outing. Campy almost funny effect to the movie.
Joe Lando's acting and the twist ending did help salvage some of the movie.
Still, best actor in the movie goes to the alligator.

I love creature features and the first three quarters of this one was okay and then it went extremely down hill. It had the worst ending ever and I don't even know if there is a sequel or not but there should be. I am so sorry Zoe Bell. This so far is by far the worst creature feature I have ever seen yet. Whomever wrote this and creative and everybody involved in creating this story should never work in this industry again.
Just awful

the worst film i have ever seen
jongarwes19 December 2020
Warning: Spoilers
I have read a lot of the reviews on here and they are all true, and then double them.
The acting is so bad that none of them should ever be allowed in front of a camera again. Not even a stills camera.
The dialogue is awful, the storyline ridiculous.
Characters who suddenly cannot swim 5 feet to a boat, which by the way has been cast adrift by the gator somehow ?!!! Maybe with his massive gatory hands or feet ? Or maybe the gator knew that if he gnawed through the rope. the boat would drift away and then the actor would jump in, you see where i am going with this.
I honestly wonder how people get funding to make this sort of rubbish, it must be privately.
It isn't even funny, there is nothing redeeming about this film.

Why do these movies persist in filling their craptacular creature features with terrible stereotypes and irritating characters?
I swear, the arrogant "gator expert" was specifically designed to annoy everyone she came in contact with (including the audience!).
Sour-faced tart Melody who flirts with peoples boyfriends ...? not even sure why she went along to this so-called party, since she was apparently the small town back-brace wearing outcast and is still bitter about it.
Deputy Doofy.... ugh. Just stop talking. Stop.
Richie Rich (Travis) ... don't even get me started. These airheads... err, people... are supposed to be in their early 20s, but he looks well into his mid-40s.
Stilted poorly delivered dialogue... poorly edited .. god-awful sound design and terrible music...
Not so bad it's good - just bad.

Stay out of it
kosmasp17 September 2016
A while ago there was a fake trailer, that set up a movie where a shark was in a swimming pool and everyone panicked because they didn't know what to do. It played finely and made great fun of many horror clichés, like people jumping into the pool, even though that was where the shark was and they still went in like lemmings on a suicide mission ... well you get the point.
Why do I mention it? Well even though it's a "crocodile" here (well the CGI is so bad, you almost wish Ed Wood made this with some rubber alligator! Would've been a lot funnier!) and a lake, the people here seem to be as "stupid" as the ones in the fake trailer. Unfortunately it is not played for laughs, but they try to make it serious and fail on a big scale. Add to that the predictability, the bad writing, directing and "acting" and you have something that either can make a good party/drink film or you should just stay away from as far as possible. You kinda feel sorry for Alligators and Zoe Bell.

giffbirds1 October 2018
Just your typical super gator killing teens movie.. or is it? So this movie had bad acting, bad editing, no real flow, and bad transitions. Honestly it felt like it was a high school movie project. Still thought, it was entertaining enough for me to watch until the end. For that, I'm glad because that was certainly an interesting twist or two at the end.
OMG What A Waste of my 10 minutes!

Warning: Spoilers
I love horror movies and sometimes I don't even look at the scores since not many people might appreciate this genre. The score you see for this movie is absolutely true!!! I only lasted 10 minutes and I had to switch it off, it was awful! I normally tend to leave the movie on for a while even if the beginning seems boring or not appealing, you never know if I end up enjoying it after all. It's like judging a book by its cover. So I tried to watch this movie, but it was completely impossible to continue as soon as the alligator came on screen, it was so FAKE!!!
The beginning was already a huge let down but I still tried! But trust me don't waste your time!

Now I am not saying that this movie is going to win an Oscar, but I would not say that it is awful. I have seen awful and this movie isn't it. Kinda reminds me of something I would see on Sunday on the Scifi channel. I gather with a low budget it's hard to make the alligator look super realistic and Deputy Douche is well not fabulous, but I still liked the movie. I love horror movies and while this is not the scariest movie that I have ever watched, it was still a good movie. I would much rather watch this then some cheesy horror flick on the lifetime channel. Zoe Bell did a GREAT job as did Joe Lando and Tom O'Connell. AS for Christopher Biewer, he needs to find another profession. He was the whole reason that I had any big issue with the film. That is why I have lovingly named him Deputy Douche.
Uhhh,,, well,,,,,,,,,,,,
dougerooo26 December 2018
The other reviewers have said it all. What a shame,, but,, Zoe saves this clunker from complete failure. She is great in everything she does,, and I have seen every one of her other films~!~! A bit confused why she executive produced this, but, there are more producers than there are actors. Guessing this movie went straight to video. Tons of plot holes, but they are inconsequential compared to the rest of the package. I shouldn't grouse, since I have never produced a movie, nor have I even been IN one,,but,,, ummm,,,,, this one is for Zoe fans only,, and die hard fans, at that...
OK for many years ago...
robertemerald30 January 2019
I've seen a lot of crocodile movies lately. This one is way behind. The cgi will disappoint straight away. The crocodile isn't that big, and it's simply not scary. There's a homespun down South hospitality to the plot, and the script, but its so ordinary. Near the end it's suddenly not that ordinary. This is student quality, and one that needs correction. The story is the main let down (the actors are reasonable with what they have to work with). There are too many holes. And when one of those holes turns out to be intended, well, it's a wow moment. I got to that wow moment. It was ambitious I guess. I don't hate this movie, but it's a fine line. It turned out to be just odd enough, just entertaining enough, that I forgave it.
Be afraid of what you CAN see!

The tag line says "be afraid of what you can't see" but after watching this pile of dumpster fire you'll wish this was one thing you hadn't seen.
Zoe Bell 'toplines' this abysmal schlock and is about as good as you'd expect from a movie with totally visible mic-packs, sfx from an iOS app, and the kind of acting, script and directing you can only appreciate if your mind is mush.
It's utterly terrible and does contain a few unintentional laughs, but seriously save yourself 83 minutes and do something, anything else instead.
Go watch Fateful Findings instead.

I love action/mystery/horror at the best I times. However this movie really didn't hold and exceptions, couldn't believe I lasted till the end i the film. Only to find out the true happening of events on the lake.
In this modern age you'd expect the special effects to be top notch, but they were terrible. From the outlining of the gator to the biting 😬.
The general story line was somewhat predictable, amazing at how the gator/event was always in the right place at the right time.
Overall a very low budget movie, poor quality of cgi and scripture. Actors not too sad hats off to them.
Won't be watching it anytime soon or would that be never.....

This is without a doubt the most disastrously disappointing 8 minutes I have ever endured. The budget on this film was a little over a mil. My question? Where the hell did that mil go?? It certainly wasn't to CGI or effects, because the black and white King Kong movie had better effects then this sin of a movie. I couldn't make it past 8 minutes, it WAS THAT HORRIBLE. I made it up to the point where they showed the alligator....smh. They would have been better off, NOT showing the alligator, because once that sham...that, that, disgrace of an attempt at special effects bumbled onto the screen, I screamed like 8 year old, and couldn't get the disc out of my system fast enough. After apologizing to my DVD player, and my family for subjecting them to such a epic fail of a horror movie, I am now using the DVD as drink coaster. Please...save your money, save your family, and your honor, DO NOT watch this....movie. Seriously, terrible, and after seeing that, I think I need to talk to someone and find my safe place....
Below, below average, but the setting was nice to look at
leesimon-2635726 August 2022
I will always give props to a bad movie that has the decency to be properly filmed outdoors, in a beautiful scenery. The CGI is very, very bad though mercifully has very short screentime.
Now for all the negatives, which include every other aspect of this production. The acting was very bad. Every character allegedly "went to high school together." However, two of them look much older than the rest, and one of which does not sound like she went to high school in America (thick Russian accent.) There were multiple scenes when a group of "teens" is meant to be reacting to the same horrific scene. In each of them, one of the "teens" can be seen just looking around, or giggling.
The writing, of course is terrible, but that is to be expected with bad movies. What was much more unexpected was the AWFUL score and sound mixing in general. Music was incorporated into the movie with the skill, tact and volume control of a nephew DJing a wedding because it was free. The musical score gave strong "Murder She Wrote end of the episode chase" vibes. The composer should be legally prevented from making future scores.
One of the other reviews mentioned feeling bad for Zoe Bell, but given that she is the executive producer, not just playing the smartest, toughest, coolest scientist this side of the Mississippi, I don't feel too bad for her.
The movie was bad, but it never made me angry at it for being bad. It was quaintly bad. Michael St. Michaels was great. The thought of having him writhe on a deck in the happy baby pose, before the gator was CGIed in was priceless. The twist ending was also very, very funny to me, so that gets this movie a couple extra stars. I wouldn't chose to watch this again, but I also wouldn't leave the room if it was on.

Well, I'm pleased that this is a thriller. I was afraid of a gore movie. I like the slowness of the story, plans that certainly want to put the viewer in the southern languor. It works. The images are very beautiful, landscapes, interiors, characters. I see the care taken in framing, in the camera movement. I love the soundtrack. The piano gives a melancholy note, just like the images. On a negative point: the gator. Impossible to believe. It's really stuck on the image, as a kind of hologram. Not scared for a second. Some cutting were somewhat surprising. For example, at one point in the shop, there is twice the same picture of Melody character.
****Major Spoilers*** For the story, how did the director dare to make the character of Joe Lando, a psycho ? I'm joking, I love it, he's so good in this type of role. A caring character at first then he shows his madness. I was surprised to see Zoe in a "normal" role, which does not need big muscles. She is also talented in comedy. At one point in the final scene, I thought she was going to kill him, but, no, huge welcome surprise, Joe is the one who gets away with it in the end. And the last image of Joe whistling, is jubilant. Awesome. ****End of the major Spoilers****
I saw the reviews on IMDb, the movie was advertised as a horror film, reported on horror websites, I think those who saw it expected gore. And were disappointed, the gator images don't help. It has a very low budget, and the director first movie. So I'll definitely give her a chance and follow her next films.

Worst movie since Open Water...
th_counselor27 May 2016
This film is predictable, full of poor direction, poorly scripted, and the "special effects" look like they were done by a 7 year old. Even a shoestring budget of a film can afford to put kool aid in the water versus photoshopping red splotches over the water. This is a true B rated movie. The only reason I am still watching it is out of pure curiosity. Some parts seem to be funny, so I am not sure if this is a spoof movie in regards to the creature genre, but even the funny parts are not very funny. And did the gator cut the power and phone lines and steal all the boats? I am not sure, but all I can say is that I will never get this hour and twenty-three minutes back.
I have seen better acting and special effects in a Nursery school play

In all honestly I love a bad film, I've seen a large number of them. But freshwater, wow I was speechless. The CGI gator looked to be photoshopped poorly onto the screen. The acting of most of the cast was terrible at best as if they were attempting to pass secondary school drama class. Zoe Bell on the other hand was not as bad. The sound in some scenes were inconsistent as if the microphones were too sensitive.
And the plot, well the plot...It was the screenwriters asked the producer 'do you want a murder mystery plot or an animal attack plot, or a predictable plot twist, or a serial killer arc?' And they answered yes.
The one redeeming and positive aspect or this film is that it ended.

A shame frankly.....
davidbaldwin-1183830 April 2023
I have no doubt that everyone worked hard on this movie and, frankly, I think it's a shame that it misses the mark at a number of points. But I had no problem watching it all the way through and appreciated the scenes in which suspense developed well (especially with the group on the island.) But it was frustrating. Zoe Bell does a good job but was let down by the script, which I think just needed another good go by the writer-director. A return to the editing room would have helped too--mainly to remove stuff rather than revealing! Why oh why did you include that large and silly reveal on the wharf with the poor old fisherman early in the movie? There were some nice things. I hope the writer-director has learned from this one. Good luck! I have certainly been worse entertained by films with double your IMDB rating.
A generally solid enough indie creature feature that's got enough to like
kannibalcorpsegrinder14 March 2023
Investigating a series of animal encounters, a wildlife agent and the members of the local police force trying to figure out the bizarre bits of evidence keeping them from announcing everything as crocodile attacks realize the connection might be human instead and try to stop it from attacking locals nearby.
This was a rather fun genre effort with a lot to like about it. One of the finest features here is the highly enjoyable setup that brings about a great small-town feel. The dueling storylines where it deals with the residents of the town are trying to go through their lives including the group of guys trying to flirt with the local girls in town, the deputy trying to show the new sheriff around and the wildlife expert trying to make inroads on the neighbors who are not sure of her qualifications o do her job. These combinations of interlocking storylines keep everything moving along quite nicely in the first half where the scenes of setting this one in motion by providing these storylines early enough. That all gives the multitude of cheesy creature attacks to have a sense of goofy fun to it. By keeping it serious enough while generating a fun time with the cheesy looks of the creature, there's some fun to this one with the opening ambush on the victim by the water, a later sequence on where it grabs an unsuspecting fisherman and the lake attack on the partygoers where it grabs the couple in front of the others. While it comes down quite a bit in the finale where the gator isn't really a big focus as it switches to a different villain, this one does bring about a fine sense of brutality that is a different type of atmosphere altogether as everything goes for a brutal serial killer slasher effort to go along nicely with the cheesy croc effects present to give this some generally likable aspects. There are some issues to be had with this one. One of the biggest letdowns with this one is the utterly unnecessary sidestory about the secondary villain being a part of the film which just doesn't really need to be here. This inclusion doesn't come off integrated well into the film in the first place as these scenarios helping to build it up just don't make sense as the clues are just hamfisted into this it drags the pacing down but also introduces a concept that doesn't need to be there. The other drawbacks with this one is the lousy characters for the trapped group of friends on the island which is incredibly frustrating to look at as they're completely unnatural, keep the group in danger because of their stupidity which just makes it hard to root for them. These manage ot hold it down the most.

Total Waste of Time
slbarker-0486011 January 2023
Wow...! This "movie" (and I use that term lightly) makes it so easy. 1. Bad script, 2. Bad acting, 3. Totally predictable. The "special effects"... beyond bad. In the cabin scene, the banter between the players is completely useless... the deputy has to be the most inept law officer since Barney Fife. His acting is as bad as his totally ill fitting uniform. The "gator expert", amazingly overbearing, and the worst southern accent ever... the CSI agent, I've seen better acting in a high school play. And OMG... could they have found a worse actress to play the "Grandma"? To bad she wasn't eaten by the unbelievably bad giant rubber gator... the abrupt ending was definitely welcome.
Fairly bad...
paul_haakonsen20 April 2024
I am a sucker for killer animal movies, and thus I had to sit down and watch this 2016 movie titled "Freshwater", as I happened to stumble upon it by random chance here in 2024. Of course I wasn't really harboring much of any grand expectations, as most of movies with killer animals are dubious affairs at best.
Writer and director Brandy Berry put together a semi-watchable movie here. The script and storyline wasn't particularly impressive. And you're not in for anything grand, should you opt to sit down and watch "Freshwater". The tropes in the movie are ones that have been used in abundance in other similar movies, but more often than not been used to better results in other movies.
The acting performances in the movie were a bit all over the place; some of the acting performances were rigid and wooden, whereas other performances were actually okay. It is not like you're in for any award-winning performances here. But then again, I doubt that you were expecting that.
There were a couple of familiar faces on the cast list, such as Zoë Bell and Michael St. Michaels.
Visually then "Freshwater" was pretty bad. For a movie made in 2016, the CGI effects were lousy, and reminiscent of something you would find in a killer animal movie from The Asylum.
Definitely not a great movie, nor a movie that I will ever return to watch a second time.
My rating of "Freshwater" lands on a three out of ten stars.
