Even better than "Deliverance"., 13 October 2008
9/10
Author: TheAgonyOfPlasma from Kokura, Japan

Paul Kener's nerve-wracking cinematic masterpiece "Savage Water" is a triumph of professional film-making. Through a carefully selected shot structure, well-developed characters of unlucky tourists and a script filled with jaw-dropping visuals Paul Kener develops a framework of how films of this particular genre should be constructed. Kener's careful direction along with his eerie musical score makes "Savage Water" one of the most important features of the horror genre, if not American film-making. Unfortunately being a sleaze-hound I'd love to see gore and graphic nudity, but even without erotic & bloody elements "Savage Water" manages to scare. I was shaken after watching this shocking tale of survival. Coming from a land of Gojira, Issei Sagawa, Genki-Genki productions, pinku eiga movies and suicide pacts I can say that none other film affected me as deeply as "Savage Water". It surely needs a proper DVD release with tons of extras. Where are you, Paul Kener?
