I’m not sure that the bad English audio track is an issue with the video file, or it is really that bad, as it was dubbed badly 😆
Yeah, I know… technically, she didn’t die as a scuba diver, as the (scuba) gear was put on her after she died.
But it does look like it to the audience and the detectives as they find her.
Nevertheless, it’s a very interesting setting nonetheless!
And it’s a scene where a woman gets drowned by another woman… a pretty rare thing to find in the movies (and on TV)!
The scene with her dead body in the net… quite a gruesome image.
The drowning then gets told with flashbacks that are very short… but still done quite well!
I like that she rips off her attacker’s scuba mask! Mostly in such a scene, they “just” try to reach the surface and don’t attack the attacker at all.
It’s interesting that she doesn’t use scuba gear when she attacks her. Yeah, as they explained… that way she had a better chance that nobody would notice.
But this way, it’s a greater risk for her. She relies on the surprise effect and the fact that she thinks she can hold her breath longer than her victim.
Also, she has a scuba mask, unlike her victim… even that advantage isn’t one for long.
I wish at least one of them had been wearing full scuba gear, and that the attack scene would last longer… but still, it’s a very rare and interesting scene 🙂

Ok…. where to begin?
Yes, the big villain of the movie… a creepy scuba killer… IS actually a woman!
How great is that?
Well, yes… that sounds awesome on paper. Like something I would dream of…
But they managed to screw it up big time!
First… you hardly see anything of her in that crazy costume.
All scenes are pretty dark and murky.
A lot of the underwater scenes look like CGI or even worse… AI 🙁
How often do we see her in the costume out of the water (and alive)? Well, a few seconds.
How often do we see her (in scuba gear) in daylight… or with some (nice) lighting? NEVER!
How often do we see her normal self? Well… ONCE! For a minute or two, as she is a crazy, super-strength scuba killer at night… but a cleaning lady(!) during the day!
WHAT!?!? Who comes up with that?
There is the biggest action scene of the movie, a well-made boat chase.
But they are chasing after some weird dude who they wrongfully accuse… not after her! 😆
And why does she have super-human strength? She is supposed to be an ex-military underwater special ops… who went nuts… ok.
But why can she toss a fully loaded boat in the air?
Why can she toss a 60-75 kg woman from the water to the pavement above like she would weigh 500 grams?
How does she even breathe in that costume? Could be an oxygen mask in her monster mask… but where is the tank? The air hose?
What does happen there in her “lair”?
She just tosses the woman aside instead of stabbing her, gets shot at least once, then just walks outside… drops dead….off camera. ARGH! How suspenseful! 😆
The big villainess of the movie and the fight with the good guys is done after half a minute!!!
Seemingly, she loses her monster costume at one point?!?
In the end, she seemingly suddenly wears a plain latex suit, no more crazy muscles visible…
What really frustrates the HELL out of me is the unused potential in this one!!!
We have a female scuba killer in a crazy costume as the villainess of the movie! With a cool mask!
BUT….
Why doesn’t she have any real scuba fight? Why doesn’t she have any interaction with the female detective and the guy before the very end of the movie?
Why can’t she be shown with some lighting? How about a fight on dry land with the detective?
How about someone trying to unmask her in a struggle? How about she attacking any other scuba diver (without CGI)?
How about putting a hot actress in that costume? A villainess that we see without her costume several times?
Perhaps she would even run into the female detective early on? They fall in love…
Until the detective finds out her dark secret 😉
How about scuba attacks with her in broad daylight?
Ok, enough ranting for one day.
In the end… I will still buy the Blu-ray once it is available here.
After all, the crazy scuba killer is a woman 😉
And the movie is still… solid after all.
You just need to ignore a bunch of aspects 😆
Looking forward to the extras on the Blu-ray. Hopefully, some deleted scenes? A costume special?
