Black Water stars Diana Glenn, rising Australian star Maeve Dermody and Andy Rodoreda. The film is written/directed by David Nerlick and Andrew Traucki.

Grace (Diana Glenn), her boyfriend Adam (Andy Rodoreda ) and younger sister Lee (Maeve Dermody) decide to take a river tour whilst holidaying in Northern Australia. As they drift into a mangrove swamp their boat is suddenly capsized and Jim (Ben Oxenbould), their guide, disappears. Realising they’ve been attacked by a crocodile, Adam drags Grace to the safety of a tree whilst Lee clings on top of the overturned boat. Adam and Grace frantically try and manoeuvre Lee and the boat to the tree but it is firmly stuck. Stranded in the flooded mangrove swamp, the three holiday makers must work out what to do to survive.

Based on a true story, Black Water walks the line between horror and psychological thriller and is a film with a familiar warning: Australia can be a dangerous place for a holiday! With comparisons to Jaws and Alien, Black Water allows for riveting horror and suspense with plenty of narrative drive and screams. The film succeeds in a genre that is designed to frighten and scare, create dread and alarm and invoke our worst hidden fears – in this case a fear of being eaten alive by a vicious, unreasoning predator.
