Video Review – The Outwaters can’t live up to its massive internet hype

February 21, 2023 by EJ Moreno

EJ Moreno with a video review of indie horror The Outwaters…

The Outwaters, 2023.

Directed by Robbie Banfitch.
Starring Robbie Banfitch, Angela Basolis, Scott Schamell, and Michelle May.

When a new indie horror movie takes over social media, you have to see it. For better or worse, movies like The Outwaters drive the horror conversation when a mainstream outing isn’t there. Sadly, this trippy cosmic-found footage movie can’t handle the weight of its massive fan hype, feeling more of the same rather than the revolution promised online.

Check out the review below, and be sure to follow us on YouTube for more reviews, exclusive interviews, and other video content…

This found-footage horror promises to be a visceral dive into insanity as the events of four musicians and filmmakers’ trip into the Mojave Desert unfold through three memory cards found in the wild. The group’s at-first uneventful adventure to go film a music video slowly turns into an unnatural, mind-bending nightmare full of horrors no human was ever meant to see.

The Outwaters is now playing in theaters and streaming on Screambox TV.
