Critics Consensus

It's unlikely to leave a lasting impression, but Black Water: Abyss may satisfy forgiving genre fans in search of a reasonably effective creature feature.

Black Water: Abyss is one of those movies that isn't particularly good but may not have to be if you're in the right mood.

A tense thriller that nicely exploits a formulaic nature it doesn't quite transcend.

…a sorry excuse for a thriller with a lot of black water and not much croc to go around…

Black Water: Abyss performs the work with above-average competence, but it struggles to stay afloat.

2/5

One should never smile at a crocodile and Black Water Abyss certainly doesn’t raise a smile but there is also a disappointing lack of screams in this lake flaccid thriller that ultimately lacks bite.

I dont know what the majority of reviewers were expecting, but it's a fairly decent action - suspense movie... not once i had the need to fast forward, nor to exit the stream. A little slow, but the pace works very well with the story. Simple? Yes. Entertaining? Oh yeah!!! Don't get caught in the bad reviews, watch it and enjoy for what it is: a fairly good suspense/psychological terror B-Movie.

Kind of boring, unlikeable characters, not enough crocodile to my taste

While the first movie was a brutal and emotional crunch, this one slowly drowned me into boredom

No meu Ponto de vista o Filme é muito bom e o que chamou muita atenção sao os efeitos ( Crocodilos). Nao usaram aqueles efeitos chulos e péssimos como em outros longas fizeram em crocodilos . Eles parecem ser muito reais no filme, e tem suspense, tensao e ação, entao eu Aprovo !

One of the worst movies I have ever seen, I honestly wished the crocodile had eaten them all and swam off into the sunset. My family and I were rooting for the crocodile.
