Synopsis

BLACK WATER is set in the mangroves of Northern Australia and based on true events about the harrowing and chilling tale of three tourists who frantically battle to save themselves from a vicious crocodile attack.

Grace (Diana Glenn), her boyfriend Adam (Andy Rodoreda) and younger sister Lee (Maeve Dermody) decide to take a river tour whilst holidaying in Northern Australia. As they drift through the mangrove swamps their boat is suddenly capsized and tour guide, Jim, disappears.

Realising they are being attacked by a crocodile, Adam drags Grace to the safety of a tree whilst Lee desperately clings to the overturned boat. Stranded and petrified, the three holiday makers must work out what it takes to survive.

Co-directors Andrew Trauchi and David Nerlich, present a startlingly powerful horror, with gruesome flesh wounds, broken bones, semi-devoured corpses and plenty of implied off camera nastiness.
