Submerged

This Australian horror starts well, it sets the tone introduces the characters and does it all competently.

From the moment the Sick Puppies soundtrack played I became excited, this was actually delivering.

It tells the story of two sisters who move from the big city to small town Australia. One of the sisters has a "Gift" and has premonitions. When she starts seeing visions of drowned girls she sets about investigating.

Sadly by about half way through it becomes apparent that it's all going wrong. That little charm it had quickly fades to nothing and is replaced by shoddy sfx and a truly abyssmal storyline.

So I crossed my fingers and hoped for a finale that would save it, but it never came. In fact the finale is really poor and should have really had 15-30 minutes afterwards to actually finish the story.

Submerged isn't all bad, it just should have been a lot better than it turned out.

The Good:

Really quite shocking in places

Great soundtrack

The Bad:

SFX are pretty ropey

Plot falls apart badly

Seriously weak finale

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Killing pets off is getting old, stop it

Sick Puppies should be on more movie soundtracks
