"The Outwaters" is the story of a pretentious independent filmmaker in love with the sight of his own right big toe. That's it. That's literally the entire movie. Okay fine, I'll spoil the whole thing. A bored-sounding 911 operator receives a call that is nothing but…

Megan Bitchell - Feb 24, 2023
Flickers of something awesome occasionally shimmer through the tapestry of mud, blood, desert and flesh that encompass this film's physiography. Nowhere does it do it better than when the earth trembles and we are afraid and our eyes waver just as much as their screams.…
reibureibuFeb 19, 2023Utterly unbearable. The deadly combination of experimental and found footage is truly killing me. Other than one specific aspect of the story that I could get behind, everything else feels like a try-hard experimental mess. Inspired by Willow Creek, The Outwaters has…
nickNov 1, 2020Disclaimer: test screener viewing I really should have watched this on Halloween itself as opposed to Halloween weekend because it is the scariest movie I’ve seen in a long time. WHO KNEW? Not me! Robbie Banfitch directed and stars in this found footage film and he proves…
Tony the Terror - Jun 24, 2022
An atmospheric first half that utilises character development as an integral part of executing true filmic terror for when the time comes, followed by an almost incomprehensible second half that brings the nightmare to life with malevolent forces of nature and even more…

- Estevan is "meh" onThe Outwaters
It’s not something I’d watch again. First hour is setting up boring basic characters and after is pure chaos. Good enough for a single watch and some research into the story, not much else. If you like cosmic/body horror/experimental films, this is for you
stephen lovedThe OutwatersWILDDDDDD ACTUALLY SO CREEPYYYYYYY I was kinda disappointed tho that the climax in the movie was too soon
Nate dislikedThe OutwatersAn absolute mess. You can’t be scared when you have no clue what’s going on.
- HauntandHorror is "meh" onThe Outwaters
Okay- they had the making of a good movie and I don’t know what happened. The first hour was boring AF! I didn’t need all that character development. Then when all the heck broke lose it was so hard to follow. I did start to pay attention when the cut cut his package off- 🤷♀️
Stew dislikedThe Outwaters#theoutwaters was next up and had more of a feel of a college students indie film then it did a theatrical release, ….. more of a bad trip then a good movie and dragged on ….. I love me some found footage but this one wasn’t my fav 37/100 👓👓👓 #dangerzoneatthemovies
Clay Werner dislikedThe Outwaters(A very generous) 3.6 - I was kinda with this…until I wasn’t. The last hour was an incomprehensible mess. There’s probably a good movie buried in here somewhere but it needs to be cut by 30-40 minutes to find it.
- Not Josh dislikedThe Outwaters
Acting is okay, plot is very vague, mc’s brother is distractingly hot, half of the movie is just a flashlight thrashing around in the dark, a great reminder of why I hate the found footage genre
Haylen is "meh" onThe Outwatersso i had a hard time understanding what was happening but i guess it was just portals to hell, time loops, etc but it honestly wasn't worth watching would've been way better as a short film
Elias dislikedThe OutwatersI have no words I don’t even know what happened. A complete waste of time. It’s not even scary it’s just confusing. 90% of the movie was in the dark

The Outwaters stumbles because it fails to clear the second hurdle of any found footage movie: not simply answering why would the camera stay on (that's the easy part), but why would anyone edit what's been recovered in this way?

This film takes no prisoners, offers no explanations, and forces you to go on its twisted journey that blends found footage structure with something that H.P. Lovecraft might have dreamed up. It’s a ride.
