This is the kind of story - rampaging crocodile hunting down a group of dumb but attractive humans -- Sci Fi Channel has done to death, and usually badly.
But "Black Water" is many notches above that made-for-TV dreck.
The cast includes -- never mind, you don't know any of them, they're from Australia or New Zealand -- but is good.
A trio -- two women and a man --is vacationing in some southern hemisphere backwoods. They go on a fishing trip in with a shady looking guide who takes them into crocodile-free waters ... supposedly. Guess what? There's a croc there after all and he's big, smart, nasty and hungry.
The cast gets whittled down as you surely expected, but the story is told with patience and a solid feel for human behavior. Suspense is built nicely and the direction is crisp and assured.
It's a stripped down story told in a stripped down manner.
Solidly done. Good B-movie stuff.
