The Outwaters is the highly anticipated found footage horror from Bloody Disgusting and SCREAMBOX which just recently hit theaters. Fans have been waiting for this one for a while, but reactions may be divisive. Critics seem to love it, giving it a high enough score for the film to be “Certified Fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes. Fans are having mixed reactions, though. The film isn’t for everyone, but for those who enjoyed it, some are having pretty strong reactions.
The Robbie Banfitch movie follows a group of four friends as they set out to the middle of a desert to film a music video. It sounds simple, right? Things are pretty uneventful, at first but then weird things start to happen. Strange sounds are heard, the ground vibrates, and some of the friends start exhibiting weird animal behavior. What then follows is a strange and horrific trip that has had viewers having similar reactions to Terrifier 2.
The Outwaters is being described as one of the most frantic and abstract horror movies ever made, and many are having a hard time considering the film’s chaotic nature. But among those who have seen it, some are having a difficult time making it to the end. There are those who are vomiting in the theater while some are storming out completely. In one case, a person’s heart was pounding so hard that it set off their Apple watch.
