The Outwaters, the 2022 found footage horror movie from writer-director Robbie Banfitch, is now streaming on Prime Video.
The film opens by telling the audience that four friends in the US disappeared in 2017 after a trip to Mojave Desert but that footage was recovered from three memory cards used by the group.From then on, we see that the four had headed out to the Mojave Desert to shoot a music video but stumbled into some sort of mysterious and threatening phenomena.
So, the first half of the flick mostly comprises of these ordinary people wandering around the desert for what feels like an eternity before the second half, where they are eventually confronted with extremely gruesome horrors that viewers never really get a proper explanation for. While the slow pace of The Outwaters’ first half and the lack of answers in second half can at times be frustrating, we here at JOE we’re also unable to quite shake the film for days after watching – due to its feeling of authenticity, its shocking violence and Banfitch’s often striking imagery.
Reviewers for the most part seem to have enjoyed the horror, with it scoring a very respectable critics score of 74% on Rotten Tomatoes.
