Product Description
When a group of young, rich friends led by the dynamic Trailor (Jason Mewes) set out for a deep sea fishing trip aboard a million-dollar dreamboat, an electrical fire rocks the ship, destroying their electrical system and engine, leaving them marooned with no communications in the deep Atlantic. Little did they know that their actions disturbed the native folk who despise outsiders.

Um, like in every slasher movie since the 1970s Texas Chainsaw Massacre?
Before I watched The Watermen, I read some pretty terrible reviews on it (and then watched it anyway). Okay, it's no masterpiece, but its overall flaw is its lack of originality. It's about a group of teenagers who go on a boat and get picked off by a gang of mumbling nasty fishermen on another boat who want to turn them into fishfood. Basically, it's Texas Chainsaw on water.
It's very low budget. Therefore don't expect too much gore and any nudity is pretty fleeting.
After watching the film I couldn't really think of anything that bad about it, apart from I've seen it all before - not just once, but dozens of times. It's basically a carbon copy of every slasher film that's gone before it.
Bottom line: there's nothing wrong with Watermen, but there's nothing original enough to make it right.

Two other reviewers have said this is unoriginal and seen it all before somewhere( I agree and disagree too, The plot is very basic just like all the rest of familiar horror films like Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The Watermen is a slight reminder of The great whale watching massacre which was a bad horror film. While the plot is all very simliar with other titles there are a few scenes of violence which I found to be different and never used in many horror movies. The Cast acted their roles poorly not not so bad you'd want to look elsewhere, The bad guys are dull and you dont see much from them either. The setting is not that unique I've seen a few horror movies on a ship, I do agree very much on the subject of one of the reviewer saying the gore aint that grisly, infact you'd be lucky to even see a glimpse of red in this movie although it only has a couple of kill scenes which only one of them were quiete violent.
I've seen this before but it holds a few differences which were enough to keep it not original but still not too unoriginal if you get what I mean.
The victims dont have much of an personality on-screen which is a let down as it gets to the point you really dont care who lives and who dies.
I've seen much worse than this movie but its not something to be very exited about seeing, and to be honest I could have done without seeing it full stop.
Buy it when it goes down to a few quid but dont expect much from this movie!
