I liked the idea of this horror film and the first 30 minutes of The Drownsman were good. I actually thought that this time and this horror film would scare me. But then everything changed. The characters stopped being interesting, the dialogues started to repeated again and again, the story from horror turned to a bad comedy. Okay, I passed my free time, I had some laughs - not the ideal thing when you are watching a horror movie. If this is only what you want from a movie in general, then The Drownsman is the right choice for you. And something for the faint-hearted, don't forget to take your bath or drink lots of water before watching it!

So, yeah - even after watching the trailer, and solving the mystery of ''BURRRRRGER SHOES,' I still decided to go through with 'The Drownsman.' I mean, I love horror films, even the bad ones - but it's the horror films that serve no purpose, that really bother me. By serving a purpose, I mean - if a film sucks enough, like 'Troll 2,' you still have a few laughs - or if you're lucky enough to find a good horror film, well, the purpose is quite obvious. Which category does 'The Drownsman' fall under? Neither. 'The Drownsman' is one of the most worthless horror films I've seen all year. The acting is your typical slasher style - Attractive women, who failed drama class, but will still end up being cast in upcoming horror films. The creature looks like something that came from a public restroom - you know, when you enter a public restroom, and you see the toilet full of crap? Yeah, he looks like that. His dialogue is also something of genius. It took me 20 minutes of research to realize he wasn't saying 'BURRRRRGER SHOES.' I'm not entirely certain what the guy is saying, nor do I really give a damn - but he sounds like he has downs - Hmm, wait a minute, 'The Downsman?' Random Ramblings of a Madman: While the main character in this stinker suffers from hydrophobia - fear of water, I'm starting to develop a bad case of Crappyassmoviephobia, and 'The Drownsman' really set it off. I was done with this as soon as they started the bathtub séance. One of the more ridiculous scenes in recent memory. I mean, seriously - how does stuff like this get approved? This is the kind of film that Scott Weinberg would label as 'fun.' It's about as much fun as going to Tom Six's house for Thanksgiving dinner.

for some wet-behind-the-ears actors and production crew, if you ask me, and that's about it. With higher caliber talent and some serious script-doctoring, this might--and I can only emphasize, might--have transcended its straight-to-video-purgatory nature, but alas! Blub, blub, blub! We're sailing the high seas of Sturgeon's Revelation here. A watery grave is all this leaky vessel riddled with plot holes can ever hope to achieve. Mercifully, the DVD has nary a featurette, promo or otherwise, and that's likely a very good thing; I'd really hate to watch these kids drown in self-effacing explanations for taking a paying gig. At least, I hope they got paid. They did, right? Right?

I admit the beginning started out intriguing but after a scene involving a bathtub,a girl's fear of water, and some lame villain and hilariously bad attempt at using water as a tool to SCARE the viewer with I knew this movie was a loser. The main actor was okay in the beginning , but then the movie kept going and her acting as well as the other ACTORS in this movie got worse and worse . At least unlike the unneeded uninteresting cardboard characters she was at least...okay . The end I won't ruin but I will say it was hilariously bad that's all really. I thought this was gonna be SCARY...not the least bit. I thought the villain would be interesting and creative ....none of the above. I thought the PLOT would make sense ....No sense was made out of this film in any capacity whatsoever . The special effects were unimaginative , the deaths were repetitive and hilarious, and the victims were some of the stupidest and useless victims I've seen in a while in a horror movie. This isn't a horror movie either it's a HORRIBLE movie .

Madison has an acute fear of water, and worries that a vengeful spirit is coming for her. One of her friends admits to another that she has a mental problem. Probably best, then, that these 'friends' get together and create a mock séance and challenge any spirits to send a sign that they mean Maddie harm. When a definite sign is sent that harm IS meant, what is the next thing this group of geniuses decide to do? Carry on with the séance, and lower her into a tub of water – where she is grabbed by an unseen spirit that tries to drown her. In the continuing face of her misery, more people – professionals, this time, and the father of a former victim – tell her her fears are all in her mind. Such stupidity gets instantly frustrating. The darkened creature known as The Drownsman thinks so too, and slowly he begins to attack Madison's group of friends. The trouble is, due to his nature, The Drownsman dispatches all his victims in the same manner, so instead of his crimes being depicted as brutal and terrifying, they are rather more relentless and repetitive. Also, Maddie's extreme aqua-phobia clearly doesn't extend to an ability to wash herself – she, her clothes and hair are spotless at all times. It's impossible not to notice this. This is a competently made, unambitious picture, content to model its scares on the 'Nightmare on Elm Street' franchise, with the titular fiend appearing to a group of intense young pretties mainly through their unconsciousness, always involving water. As the creature's success with claiming the young troupe continues, his original favourite Madison continues to evade him long enough to find out a little of the Drownsman's past; the 'terrible sick monster' was a rapist, who raped Maddie's mother, which resulted in Maddie. There's a notion that The Drownsman might have been waiting for Maddie so she can take his place, but this is only vaguely hinted at before the credits come crashing in and, in all honesty, it's difficult to be overly concerned with a character (or characters) who spend most of the film's running time screaming instead of developing any discernible character.

"Dabrowsky. During his speech. He called you the 'afraid of honor.' It sort of became the running joke of the night. Hannah did not find it funny." Are you afraid of water or have another phobia when it comes to liquid substances, then perhaps it's wisely to ignore this film because this a rather soggy affair. Unfortunately, the whole spectacle largely fails. It ended up to be a disappointing slasher film (however it's only water that's splashing around instead of human blood). Most average, unoriginal horrors follow the well-known golden rules of this genre. Firstly, the main character always has ties to the menacing entity who makes the protagonists lives miserable. Secondly, there is of course no one who believes the main character. And third such a mainstream film is never fully resolved at the end. Believe me, "The drownsman" nicely obeys these rules. Nevertheless, the opening scene looked promising and was imaged brilliantly in a certain way. The moment a young woman throws her head backwards while sitting in a tub and her long hair swishes water in the air with a perfect synchronous movement, was a moment that seemed to come straight out of a commercial for shampoo. Unfortunately, this highly aesthetically designed excerpt wasn't repeated during the rest of the film. It all looked extremely banal and ordinary. It wasn't really threatening or frightening. The way the victims kick the bucket, is downright lousy. Are you getting sick at the sight of blood, I can reassure you. There's not a spatter of blood to be seen here in this film. In fact the weapon used to vanquish the demon is something what actually isn't resistant to water. I thought a mop would be an appropriate weapon, so you could mop the villain away. What bothered me the most, were Madison's (Michelle Mylett) three best friends. Three pedantic stupid chicks who, despite that they are furious about the fact that Madison has missed the wedding of her best friend, still are so kindhearted to help their friend with her nasty phobia. They ask Kobie (Gemma Bird Matheson), a medium, to help them out. She already has some experience with similar cases and according to her expertise it could be that they are dealing with a "haunting" ("Let's not call them haunting."). Eventually they use a fairly sadistic and extreme method to help Madison. They just immerse her in a bath. I think it would have been wiser to seek professional help. As always I try to find something positive in a movie. The cause that created this wet demon, was a highly original idea. Also, the way it uses the medium water to move around, was not ill-conceived. And of course, the acting of Michelle Mylett was admirable. The way she portrayed the fear that came over her, during the appearances, was certainly praiseworthy. And the moments when "The drownsman" suddenly popped up, was reasonably successful but far from chilling. Unfortunately, these are also the only positive points I could come up with. The rest is just a storm in a teacup. More reviews here : http://bit.ly/1KIdQMT

A solid horror flick that gets hurt because there are a couple of plot holes that you sort of can't stop thinking about. The plot involves Madison, played well by Michelle Mylett, who falls into the water during an engagement party for her best friend and has a horrifying vision of some sort of monster. Cut to a year later, and it turns out this event has given Madison an extreme case of aquaphobia, since she believes that every time she touches water the monster appears. Her friends try to to cure her of this fear but it turns out that it may be true, that she may be haunted by the spirit of Sebastian Donner, The Drownsman, a supernatural being who travels only in water... The movie is solid. Good acting all around, The Drownsman is introduced to us in a well done prelude and is generally creepy all around. The film doesn't meander -- this is not one of those "50 minutes of meaningless exposition and then 1/2 hour of the actual movie" films. It gets going right away and doesn't let up. Couple of nice twists to keep interesting strong. Biggest problem is a couple of plot details that are hard to ignore. First of all, Madison's aquaphobia is extreme -- she can't drink water (takes fluids through an IV), she can't leave the house if it's raining (causing her to miss her best friend's wedding in which she was supposed to be Maid of Honor), and just a drip sends her into a panic. And yet... she has spotlessly clean skin, clothes, and obviously recently coiffed and washed hair. I know you're supposed to just "go with it" and it's "only a movie," but when they take SO MUCH EFFORT into making her extreme aquaphobia be a major plot point and then she seems to have no problem washing herself... well, it's hard not to think about it all the time. Same goes for the "missed wedding." Her missing the wedding is the catalyst for her friends trying to help, and the bride comes barging into the house still in her dress. But... the movie takes places in the two or three days after the wedding. No Honeymoon? No husband concerned about his new bride leaving him right after the wedding? Again, even with the "it's just a movie" it's hard not to thing about that. Make the aquaphobia a little less overwhelming and eliminate the wedding and I suspect there will be a lot less eye-rolling. None the less, still a solid film and worth checking out.

THE DROWNSMAN is another lame-brained female-centred horror film with a young cast, none of whom do anything interesting with their generic characters. A girl survives an unpleasant accident and develops a pathological fear of water, only to realise that said fear might stem from a near-legendary serial killer who was never caught. What follows is a string of attempted fright scenes which are laughable more than anything else, alongside a gloomy and dark atmosphere that does nothing for the viewer. The whole thing's a wasted enterprise.
