About
If you enjoy moody, low-gore horror with a strange aquatic twist and a slow-burn sense of dread, this could hit the spot; Not for you if you want fast pacing, big scares, or lots of gore like It’s Alive.
Pros: eerie island atmosphere; memorable underwater zombies; strong genre veterans | Cons: slow build-up; repetitive chase scenes; tame, low-gore kills
