I had not seen the trailer for this film, and when we started it at work we were not sure what to expect.
After 10 minutes we were invested. Without knowing what the movie was about we quickly realized it was about 6 high school students on a last summer party weekend together as they talk about their plans for after summer. There are some news paper clips about something bad happening at a lake, and one guy seems to know more than the others, and when the classic old guy talks with him we know something bad is in the water. The acting and production are good and there is a little pov camera work, but it is kept to a minimum and is just enough to get the points across.
After 30 we were excited to see how it ended, and not because we were in a hurry for it to be over. It was a good character study about how people crack under pressure. Of course we never know how anyone will act under these circumstances; but the writing and acting were convincing enough for me to buy in.
By the end; I don't know if it could have ended any other way. I don't want to ruin it for you, I say watch it and decide for yourself.
We enjoyed this one so much we had to look at the imdb and see the other movies from chiller, and will be watching a couple more over the next few weeks.
I give it 4 out of 5 stars, with an estimated million dollar budget do not expect too much from the monster in the water, and enjoy the ones in the boat.

Until next time everybody, remember, Protect Your Privates!
Spoilers**
Although the movie is not rated, I think it would have gotten a 14a or pg-13, I feel it is a good simple movie.
