“the final girls is the last movie of la film fest 2015 for me , and it’s also hands - down the best moviei saw at this year’s festival…the most surprising element of the final girls is its honest - to - god emotional core . farmiga brings a brokenness and vulnerability to this role that makes us instantly root for her , and her scenes together with akerman provide the movie’s beating heart as hilarious chaos occurs around them . it’s all about coming to terms with the ones we’ve lost , which is a strange thing to be about in a movie that features people dying left and right , but that dichotomy is what makes the final girls so great . the final girls is one of the best love letters to a genre i’ve ever seen . ” - geek tyrant

written by riley sager — the concept of the final girl is well known to fans of slasher horror flicks . halloween , scream , alien – in each the protagonists are killed one by one down to a final girl . in 2015 , a comedy pastiche was released playing on the idea and entitled final girl .
the only way to survive is to find the final girl and stick close to her until she kills the bad guy and the credits roll .
“the final girls is really something special as it manages to pull of its comedic and emotional elements with finesse . for every laugh you belt out you may also shed a tear as well , as strauss - schulson explores the trappings of nostalgia and grief and if one can ever truly move on from tragedy . the final girls faultlessly walks the line between horror and comedy and does so with a wealth of genuine emotion and heart . like camp bloodbath , there’s a massive following in this film’s future . but unlike the benchmark bad - good film of nancy’s career , the final girls is just damn good . ” - bloodydisgusting

in a culture of bespoke… . . well , everything , riley sager’s final girls seemed tailor - made for this horror fangirl . the phrase ‘final girl’ is a widely - used trope in horror films that describes the last person standing who confronts the killer and wins . think jamie lee curtis in halloween , neve campbell in scream , or heather langenkamp in nightmare on elm street . in riley sager’s book , she takes the final girls trope and translates it to a real - world setting . and while the book is undoubtedly comp
final girls is an outlier in that it’s by a male author ( like the girl before by j . p . delaney ) , and it features some flimsy , borderline insulting portrayals of sexy bad girls and toxic female friendship . standard fare for the throwaway thriller , but unsatisfying if you want anything more .
the final girls
is never once scary , the effects are schlocky , and the action / fight scenes are confusing , especially one that takes place in a dark shack where it is impossible to tell what is happening .
the only thing i felt that held “the final girls” back , if only slightly , was its pg - 13 - rating , which was required by sony during production . if “the final girls” had been able to go a bit farther with its violence , profanity and sex , i feel like it would’ve made my day even more than it already has . even more confusing is , after asking for a pg - 13 - rating , for more box - office success , sony still gave the film a small release . though , as is , “the final girls” does its job devilishly well , r - rating or not .
if it weren’t easy to pick up on , “the final girls” is also a comedy , playing off the ridiculous tropes that plagued some of the lesser slasher films of the ’80s . “the final girls” is also one of my favorite films of the year , surprisingly . a film that seems , if only from the one time i’ve watched it , insane replay value , if not only from the sheer amount of fun this film is . unlike “scream queens , ” which is about 90 percent comedy , 10 percent horror , “the final girls” has found a nice balance of 75 percent comedy , 25 percent horror , letting the audience actually get invested in the film they’re in before getting into the film we’re watching and laughing with it .

“the final girls” is a brilliant , emotional satire of classic slasher films… the way director todd strauss - schulson incorporates nostalgia and visual humor is remarkable…the delivery for every joke is perfect . although it pays tribute to all the great slasher films , it manages to stay original and never gets bogged down in references… . the film is hilarious , but it’s also surprisingly tear jerking at times because of the strong relationship between max and her mother . in the first five minutes , strauss - schulson builds their bond and makes us believe in it . every scene they share is the most dramatic and heartwarming in the movie… . “the final girls” is a near - masterpiece of a horror - comedy . the film goes further by focusing on emotion and relationships . as more comedic films appear to mock old traditions of other movies , it’s clear that they definitely need to look toward “the final girls” for inspiration . ” - the daily texan

the film could unjustly be compared to other films like “scream” and “the cabin in the woods , ” but “the final girls” is something of a beautiful hybrid that stands on its own . this film takes the creatively wonderful cleverness of “the cabin in the woods” and combines it with the meta - horror feel of “scream , ” but adds much more emotion to the actual story than either of those two films . unlike those films , “the final girls” has characters that are likable and that you root for , unlike attractive blood bags that are in so many other horror films . the film even goes so far as to include our characters in the visual effects of the film , living them in real time , making the film even more fun .
let ' s talk about the final girls . so the film blends and bends genres the brakes every rule known to film which gives the film an advantage and the upper hand that no matter what happens in the movie you have to go with it . so the question is what was the process of finding the right balance of parody and homage without going too overboard and just like beating it in the audience ' s head ?
around the time that the final girls hit limited theaters and vod , we showed off some pages from the production diary that helped director todd strauss - schulson plan his stunning , meta horror comedy . and now that the film is hitting blu - ray and dvd today , we have another cool behind the scenes feature to show you .

girls fans around the world bemoaned the news that the upcoming sixth season would be the last time their favourite self - indulgent new yorkers returned to the small screen . why now ? why not one , two more seasons ?
i’m so confused right now . why wasn’t this given a theatrical release ? sure , the film is playing in like 15 theaters in american mega - cities , but for charlotte , “the final girls” is not going to make an appearance on the big screen . for our quaint little village , we must all enjoy “the final girls” on video - on - demand ( link below ) , which typically doesn’t bode well for the quality of a movie . yet , i couldn’t help but smile when i saw the trailer for this film , as it simply looked too fun to ignore . “the final girls” is a creatively clever love letter to the trashy slasher movies that pervaded the ’80s , focusing on a group of college students that somehow end up inside an actual ’80s slasher film while trying to escape a screening of the film as the theater burnt down . once inside , these normal teenagers must find a way to manipulate the idiotic blood bags that are the characters to help them survive the night .

the black water vampire is a found footage horror film with great practical effects and cgi . the movie has several good jump scares and an ending that is not easily forgotten .

december 21 – rob falls behind on the hike and goes missing . while camping that night , the black water vampire attacks and drags danielle into the darkness . anthony and andrea flee .
with commitment to the found footage formula ‘the black water vampire’ takes the sub - genre right back to its roots with a plot easily sistered with the blair witch project , naturally replacing said witch with a vampire creature who stalks beautiful women in the woods .
“the black water vampire” is a found footage horror film written and directed by evan tramel . the movie is presented as recovered footage from a missing documentary crew that sets out to investigate a series of infamous murders and local vampire legend in the fictitious town of fawnskin .
the black water vampire is now available on dvd and on various vod services . it stars danielle lozeau , bill oberst jr . , andrea monier , anthony fanelli and robin steffen and was directed by evan tramel .

for the final stage of their investigation , the film crew heads out into the black water woods to visit the crime scene of the last murder . with the next ten - year winter solstice only a few days away , what horrors will danielle and her film crew find in the dark recesses of the black water woods ?
a powerful spell that temporarily stops a human heart while an vampire ' s heart is being stopped so that the vampire can be successfully desiccated . it is also powerful enough to be used on a original vampire .
generally , found footage horror films are really popular and widely liked by fans . but , how many identical horror films are enough ? the black water vampire is unfortunately one of innumerable similar horror movies , without having something unique to suggest .
shortly after arriving in town , the film crew interviews the townsfolk who have mixed opinions on raymond banks’ innocence—many people believe he is guilty as charged , while others believe the murderer is still at large . further , there are quite a few residents who assert the four deaths were not murders at all , but rather the work of the legendary “black water vampire” that is said to inhabit the black water woods .
the pace picks up in the second act of the black water vampire when the protagonists venture out into the black water woods to investigate the original crime scene . the outdoor camping scenes are highly reminiscent of the blair witch project ( 1999 ) right down to the obscure noises and ruffling of the tent fabric . camping scenes aside , observant viewers are likely to notice that the black water vampire also includes an array of additional plot elements and minutiae borrowed from the blair witch project ( 1999 ) . despite these similarities , the film does tease out a healthy dose of fear and some good jump scares to match—particularly due to the practical creature effects and overlaid cgi .

the found footage purity measures how well a film maintains the illusion of actual found footage . this rating criterion is heavily influenced by the found footage cinematography , filming reason , and additional factors . in the black water vampire , the found footage purity is good , but not without some challenges . as mentioned earlier , the subtle use of sound design during the found footage portions of the film and decision to continue filming composed scenes during life threatening circumstances negatively impacts the overall found footage conceit of the black water vampire .
the filming reason is a measure of how well a found footage movie justifies why the characters filmed a feature lengths worth of footage . in the black water vampire , the filming reasons used throughout the film are generally good . first and foremost , danielle hires a group of filmmakers to produce a documentary covering the black water murders , justifying the filming of the interviews , montage , and most of the found footage captured by danielle’s documentary crew .
the black water vampire is a slow burn . the early scenes where the townsfolk and other members of the community are interviewed about their thoughts on the black water murders are a lost opportunity for what should have been some of the more interesting and entertaining moments in the film . unfortunately , these scenes do not play out as good as they could have . nonetheless , these scenes effectively foreshadow what is in store for the unwitting group of filmmakers .
the legend is real what sick mind brutalised four women and left their blood drained corpses by black water creek ? the cops have him behind bars - - raymond banks , criminally insane . but film producer andrea adams has a different story in mind ; she believes banks is innocent and she ' s taking her film crew deep into the black water woods to find out the truth . what they find there can only be told by the footage they left behind - and it , like the answer to their searching , shows no mercy and leaves little trace . there are darker forces at work than anyone outside of black water can know . . . or will ever live to tell . blood wrenching , soul shattering terror waits for those who dare enter these woods in search of the black water vampire . released march 24th 2014 on dvd

everyone tired of “found footage” horror films , yet still watching them regularly and reading critical commentary afterward , is as fed up with “blair witch project” comparisons as they are with the sub - genre . except “black water vampire” is such a blatant echo of found footage’s patron saint that not stacking the vampire copycat against its witchy inspiration would be a dishonest disservice to any review .

from here , the black water vampire transitions to the found footage captured by a documentary crew led by danielle mason ( danielle lozeau ) , the lead investigator . accompanied by danielle is her producer andrea ( andrea monier ) , cinematographer anthony ( anthony fanelli ) , and sound mixer rob ( robin steffen ) .
the practical effects are strong enough to show front and center , something director evan tramel knew and used to his advantage . the black water vampire is among only a handful of found footage films with creature effects realistic enough to show in full view of the camera , not just once , but several times .
a simple enchantment enacted by a kiss . it was capable of temporarily incapacitating an original vampire .
after an hour’s introduction , the black water vampire finally gets to a point . the crew’s hiking trip gets completely disrupted when rob disappears and the other three members are left with no map worrying about their asthmatic friend . things get even worse , when during their overnight camping , a distant yet eerie growling disturbs their sleep .
in a world where “the blair witch project” never existed , and neither did the scores of imitators , imposters , and honest homage progeny that have cropped up since , “black water vampire” might pass as a tolerable , albeit cheesy , bite of hokey horror entertainment . however , those other movies do exist . and that means “black water vampire” has to do more than merely mimic so much of what has come before , particularly to have any chance at being heard in a space crowded by countless loud voices . when half - hearted threads about vampires , serial murders , cults , and solstice events only exacerbate the messiness , there isn’t any chance at all .
directions : the spell must be cast when the full moon is at it ' s apex upon the black kyanite .
while the black water vampire is a technically strong film , the acting early - on is fraught with challenges , particularly the townsfolk interviews and supporting roles , which unfortunately come across as ingenuine and contrived . the film slowly compensates for this somewhat weak supporting roles through its compelling story and makes up most of the difference by the finale .
january 5 , 2003 – fawnskin , wa police department crime scene footage documents the discovery of a dead body at black water creek . the naked female corpse is found drained of blood and with a strange bite wound around her throat area .
credit goes to “black water vampire” for two things . one is for actually naming a modern day character millicent . the other is for filming the movie in the snow . it takes some level of effort and dedication to willingly shoot outdoors in temperatures cold enough for ice , and to put two naked actresses in those same conditions to boot .
most every modern day found footage horror emulates the blair witch project in some way or other , but never before have i seen a film so blatantly rip it off as the black water vampire . the creature design for the titular vampire was semi - decent , seems very inspired by craig conway ' s scar in the descent , and the decision to withhold it from the audience until the third act was a nice touch . or more , it would have been a nice touch , if it wasn ' t for the fact that we get our first look at the damn thing on the cover of the movie . all told black water vampire is a ripoff of a fair few different movies which were all done far better , but that said , i suppose i ' ve never actually seen a found footage horror about a vampire before , so there ' s at least that .
a spell that can grant a person ( i . e . vampire ) the appearance of another .
the ending of the black water vampire is truly unique and a stark contrast from the early trajectory of the film . we refrain from delving too deep into the ending to avoid spoilers . all that can be safely said is that the ending is infused with dark humor and a retro approach reminiscent of a horror film harkening back to the 1980s .
really don ' t get into vampire movies but i have to say i really enjoyed this one was one of the best vampire movies i ' ve seen in a long long time . original and well done
a spell that directs a witch to a target object in a subtle manner by using the mechanics of a water compass .
the interview of raymond banks ( bill oberst jr . ) offers a foreboding glimpse into the psyche of someone who is clearly mentally unhinged . despite his psychosis , danielle is convinced that raymond banks was unfairly accused of having committed the black water murders .
vampirism spells are specifically made to target the vampire species , allowing witches to directly manipulate their unique physiology .
vampire , dragon’s fury and rameses revenge also have a maximum height restriction of approximately 1 . 95 metres .
the black water vampire contains night scenes where the characters are in danger . in these instances the video camera is used as a light source with daytime and night vision , justifying why the video cameras were filming during these tense moments . finally , the archival police footage presented at the beginning of the film is police evidence , and its existence goes without question .
four amateur documentarians investigate a local legend by interviewing folksy townspeople , sniping at each other when tensions run high , having their tent tampered with in the night , and getting lost in the woods before finally confronting the supernatural entity they hoped to find in the first place . eliminate the number beginning that sentence and the description summarizes both “black water vampire” and “the blair witch project . ” even details like a noteworthy rock and a distinctive creek feature as prominent landmarks in each story . i’m also not convinced the filmmakers didn’t name the location black water just so the title could have the same first initials as blair witch .
. the enchantment was cast with a side effect that will kill a vampire who tries to use the dagger .
a spell that allows a witch to awaken a desiccated vampire to full functionality where it would otherwise require a vast amount of blood . it is powerful enough to awaken an original vampire that has be forcefully desiccated by magic .
the black water vampire also contains its fair share of practical and cgi effects . the film effectively uses blood splatters in the snow to tease that something bad took place without actually showing the end - results—which is something that often happens in real life . the inclusion of a convincingly real marred hand during a latter scene in the film helps illustrate the dangers faced by the characters .
suggesting you to sit back and watch 60 minutes of nothing until there is actually some action is not particularly convincing . however , if there is one thing i won’t forget about the black water vampire , that is the final scene . the ending is absolutely crazy . feel free to interpret it as you wish . some may find it completely ridiculous , while others may be positively surprised .
there was only one vampire in the film . i had the pleasure to be behind the mask and play him .
good day , i am robert from united states , vampire is real and is not all like in the movies or book . i turn into a vampire any time i want and i like being a vampire because is full of interesting things . do you want to be fame , have power and influence over many things , to be charming and diserable , to have wealth , health and longevity ? contact the vampire screed today and become one of us on vampirespellcast @ urltoken thanks

the spell allows a witch to telekinetically lift and throw a person or object with great force such as a original vampire .
the black water vampire opens with aged police footage of a murder investigation . the body of a young woman is recovered with a large bite mark on her throat and a symbol scribed on her leg . the film later reveals that this is the last of four murders that took place over a forty year period . each murder took place exactly ten years apart on december 17th , the night of the winter solstice .
“black water vampire” makes little sense as “found footage . ” a supposedly professional cameraman is hired for the shoot , but when he first encounters a strange figure standing still in the night , he can’t put the shape into focus or figure out how to point his light at anything above the object’s feet . the sound mixer goes missing and the director bemoans not being able to record professional audio , but everything sounds perfectly fine .
requirements : a powerful witch channeling the power from an equally powerful object or an old vampire equal in age to an original .
a spell to transfer the anchored life - force of a sacrificial spell to that of another being , such as a vampire .
the spell is rooted in sacrificial magic and allows a witch to increase a vampire ' s thirst massively , making it uncontrollable .
danielle recounts how each of “the black water killings” involved a woman who went missing on december 21st , the date of the winter solstice , and each murder was ten years apart . the victims were gale aberdeen in 1972 , ann meyers in 1982 , lea carlyle in 1992 , and millicent barnem in 2002 .
december 17 , 2012 – amateur documentarian danielle mason sets out to investigate a series of murders known as “the black water killings” which were attributed to convicted criminal raymond banks after a 16 - hour interrogation forced a confession . accompanying danielle are producer andrea adams , camera operator anthony russell , and sound mixer robin allen .
overall my critique of the movie ends here . being pov it suffers from the same restrictive camerawork as all of its sub - genre brethren , but for me a decent story , told with conviction and most of all pace elevates ‘the black water vampire’ far above the many many clones i have reviewed over the last few months . the creature is amazing and this movie is guaranteed to give you the chills , especially in its final set pieces .
the spell will destroy the link between the original vampires , therefore , the death of one original vampire will not affect the others .

found footage films are now routine and there are many ordinary examples but sometimes you stumble across a good one . black water vampire falls into this category . it ' s another instance of a group of people heading off into the woods to solve some type of mystery . in this case , following the story of a number of young women who have been murdered in the black water region . as usual , there is no mobile phone coverage and once they get there , they get lost . it sounds ordinary , but the story is told well , the acting is good and the vampire is gradually revealed , has great makeup and is entirely creepy . there are elements of other , more famous horror films ' borrowed ' from but i won ' t name the main contributor as it will spoil the ending . there ' s some good scenery , clever use of sound effects at the appropriate moments and all - round , this is great horror entertainment .
the sound is also very well done in the black water vampire . as expected during outdoor filming , the volume of the characters’ dialog appropriately increases and decreases as they move away from or towards the video camera . rob is a professional sound mixer and operates a boom during fixed location scenes where danielle is narrating to the camera . the film’s use of characters that are supposed to be professional filmmakers goes a long way towards justifying the higher - quality footage and inclusion of choreographed scenes .
similar yet superior to the original vampires . the spell was reverse - engineered by a coven of witches that would create an elixir that would turn its target into an immortal hybrid - like original vampire with fangs laced with a new strain of werewolf venom that would even kill an original vampire .
an enchantment placed on a piece of jewelry with a black kyanite gemstone that allows a werewolf to control their transformation during a full moon as well as access their full strength .
from the blair witch project to the last broadcast , a precedent has been set for the faux documentary sub - genre . we know what to expect and we know what we’re in for from the jump , so , all that can be done is tell the story in a new way . evan tramel’s black water vampire may seem familiar to a fan of either of the aforementioned films , but with a twist in the last act . is it worth your time ? that really depends on you .
” …pretty original as far as found footage vampire movies go . is there a real vampire ? is banks the actual killer ? will the group make it out alive ? these questions and more will be answered by the end of the film , which was actually pretty good . ” chris egan , urltoken
used by : in high water and a devil ' s daughter , freya performed this spell to break through dominic ' s protection spells in order to make him vulnerable to death .
december 19 – the filmmakers begin a three - day hike into the woods to the site at black water creek where millicent barnem was found . rob becomes increasingly wary as the bloody symbol drawn by banks , which was also found carved into the victims’ bodies , appears on trees and structures along the hike . strange noises later disturb the quartet when they camp for the night .
a powerful spell that is able to undo the effects of the beast creation spell ; the spell will turn the ' beast ' back into a regular vampire .
the “new” elements in “black water vampire” have to do with a quartet of murders , each separated by exactly ten years , in which a woman went missing on the december 21st winter solstice and was subsequently found naked , drained of blood , and with a bite wound on her corpse’s throat . it is not specifically mentioned if conveniently virginal filmmaker danielle is intentionally going into the same woods on december 21st , exactly ten years since the last murder . but unlucky coincidence of ill timing or not , this of course predetermines her trek for disaster .
unless it is meant to motivate a shameless callback to another lauded contemporary classic . as serial killer raymond banks’ notoriety grew in black water , so did the stories used to scare small children . out of this urban legend was born the insipid nursery rhyme , “1 - 2 - 3 , banks is coming for me . 3 - 4 - 5 , he’ll skin me alive . ”
used by : in high water and a devil ' s daughter , freya performed this spell upon josh , to glamour his appearance into marcel , in order to lure dominic into a trap .
used by : in behind the black horizon , davina , fearing for kol , performed this spell on his blood and found that the ancestors corrupted her resurrection spell and infused him with their magic .
december 22 – anthony and andrea find danielle naked and in a daze with a bite wound on her neck . as they try to hike out of the woods , danielle discovers something seemingly alive inside her stomach . the vampire attacks in daylight and kills anthony . the two girls are surrounded by armed townspeople . the vampire kills andrea and the townspeople pull a vampire baby from danielle’s womb . one year later , danielle appears to be in a trance as the townspeople celebrate the baby’s first birthday .
, which offered up a found footage film following someone as they transform into a vampire , was a much more thought - provoking entry . there is also a lame
used by : in behind the black horizon , freya mikaelson performed this spell in order to protect her brothers finn and elijah from lucien . this spell was cast with great focus and a hand pose .
used by : in behind the black horizon , davina , with kol ' s assistance performed this spell ( on vincent ' s request ) to track him down to save himself and freya from lucien .
“black water vampire” could have paused there with its trite tributes to better movies . but the groan - inducing moments continue when a pale and dazed young girl coldly delivers the line , “we’re gonna die out here” as though possessed by something evil . had she proceeded to then pee on the floor , it would not have been a surprise . completing the quadfecta of insulting homage is a climax so brazen in its aping of “rosemary’s baby” that the film ends on an impression that everything offered is a patchwork quilt stitched from other people’s ideas , and obvious ones at that .
the spell uses a poppet to enchant the properties of a chain , binding their target . the chains are strengthen such that it remains unbreakable even to an original vampire .
used by : in what , will , i , have , left , four new orleans witches performed this spell using several maps and black sand or iron powder in their attempt to locate hayley . the spll however was only successful when hayley was bound with the hybrid curse , as hope claimed that her cloaking spell was specific to hayley as a hybrid , and not a vampire .
the spell undoes the hybrid curse placed on the original hybrid niklaus , thereby allowing him to embrace the powers of a vampire and a werewolf after the requisite sacrifices have been completed . at the start of the ritual , the suppressed hybrid must first extract the heart of a werewolf , kill a vampire and drain the blood of a human petrova doppelgänger .
a powerful spell that can subdue several people by causing the ground to tremble , suffocate its targets and snapping their necks all at once on human , witch and vampire alike .
directions : to stop a vampire ' s heart , the witch must stop a human ' s heart as well . the spell also requires a physical connection to the vampire ' s bloodstream , such as a vein or artery ( anything that is connected to the heart ) . the witch can circumvent this direct requirement herself by using a blood link .
the found footage cinematography used throughout the black water vampire is well done . anthony , who captures most of the footage , is a professional cinematographer and uses professional grade equipment to shoot . as such , the relatively good framing , great lighting , and choreographed shots in the woods are easily explained . the film crew also uses a consumer handheld video camera with night vision . this second camera often provides a second vantage point during scenes that warrant a second view or when the characters are separated . the night vision is used sparingly , and to the film’s credit , is only used when needed by the characters .
the indoor fixed camera interview portions of the film are also well done , providing the obligatory names and titles of the main protagonists in the movie . the black water vampire also contains well - constructed montage scenes of still photos and newspaper clippings of the prior murders , accompanied by a voiceover narrative by danielle . true to form , the documentary portions of the film contain intermittent background music , which is justified and expected . while most of the found footage is untainted with non - diegetic music and sound , there are a few scenes with subtle sound design to increase the perceived tension—a trope this film could have done without .
black water vampire weaves in some interesting elements and decent performances but in the end , it is a beat for beat remake of the blair witch project with a little the last exorcism sprinkled in at the end . the biggest departure is that the film actually has a visual payoff , which for some may be the deciding factor . it’s not really a question of whether the film is bad or good , but a question of what you need as a payoff . many people made their judgment of blair witch based on the fact that nothing is seen . so , like i said , this film’s merit depends on your personal taste .
an offensive spell that allows a witch to endow someone ' s skin with vervain - like effects , ensuring that any vampire who would come into physical contact with the victim would be burned .
following a series of bizarre vampire - looking murders that take place every ten years , a wannabe crew of ragtag documentarians venture off deep into the woods of a small town to discover the truth .
while the filming reasons are good , the black water vampire contains several scenes that challenge the found footage conceit of the film . in the latter part of the movie , one of the characters is injured and unable to walk without assistance and the characters need to find their way out of the woods to find help before nightfall . during these scenes , anthony implausibly films choreographed shots of one character helping the second character hobble through the thick snow . at this point in the film , the characters are knowingly in danger and need to find help . the characters should have been working together to escape their predicament as quickly as possible rather than pausing to film choreographed scenes .
the first thing they do before they start their three - day - hiking expedition , which will end in the final murder location in the creek of the black water woods , is to interview local people and the victims’ families . catching on camera tragic quotes and the despair in people’s grieving eyes is the alpha and the omega for producing such a documentary . however , 60 minutes of pointless wandering in the small town and meaningless blabbering is not ideal for a horror movie .
used by : in high water and a devil ' s daughter , vincent , using davina ' s remains , channeled her to successfully call out to her spirit and to channel her magic in order to successfully complete a second harvest .
however ! the vampire is super creepy . it reminds me of the creatures in the descent , which are some of the scariest monsters in the history of horror cinema . the scene where the vampire sneaks into the tent was brilliant , it actually unsettled me , it was a true
holy fuck that ' s scary
moment ! but other than that , sadly , this movie belongs to the trash bin
the spell is performed by channeling the power of dark objects . it allows the witch to poison their own blood , which then successfully incapacitates a vampire as soon as they drink the said witch ' s blood
a reversal spell to cure the blood of a victim of dark magic blood poisoning . this spell is powerful enough to effectively revive an original vampire , ending the original spell ' s hour of incapacitation early .
first , that is as useless as a counting rhyme can possibly be , seeing as how the number three is repeated twice . second , none of the victims were skinned . though i don’t recall a crucifix being good for anything against freddy krueger either , so maybe the factual inaccuracy can slide . since those two lines constitute the only couplet in the black water rhyme , there is no telling for sure how much dumbness could have been added to a more complete version of the unoriginal poem .
used by : in gonna set your flag on fire , finn used this powerful spell in order to trap the werewolves and the vampires inside of the abattoir by binding the spell to mikael , an original vampire .
there is a growing appetite for reusable food and drink storage products that are safe to use . you only have to visit your local supermarket to see some of these products screaming

on their accompanying labels . after all , it ' s ridiculous ( economically and environmentally ) to constantly buy bottled water only to throw the bottle away each time . and even if you end up reusing those bottles , they could still potentially be harmful due to the leaching of chemicals into the water .
maybe i’m a sucker for happy endings , and this is the only episode of the whole bunch that has one , but everything about this was what black mirror should be , and a brilliant bright spot in what was otherwise perhaps not the greatest season overall .
i was incredibly excited when i learned that netflix’s latest acquisition was to commission of a bunch of new episodes of black mirror , charlie brooker’s tech twilight zone that has some of the best individual episodes in the science - fiction genre , thanks to its anthology format .

the plot covers familiar ground . an amateur wannabe presenter makes it her mission to prove the innocence of a convicted man by documenting an investigation into the back woods site of ‘black water woods’ where the bodies of four women have been discovered with the same mo over the last forty years . once there the team find a rural town whose inhabitants don’t take kindly to the publicity , a wealth of non way - marked forest tracks to get lost on and a creature whose stalk and screech tactics makes for some fairly tense and jumpy film making .
a group of young documentary filmmakers set off to uncover the true story behind the black water murders , a series of brutal killings where women were found dumped in the woods , savagely slain , with their mutilated bodies completely drained of blood . in an attempt to exonerate the man accused of the crimes , they journey into the wilderness where the deaths occurred and find themselves face to face with a form of evil they could have never imagined . what began as a mission to save a wrongly convicted man turns into a battle for their own lives .
a spell that is able to remove and undo every compulsion made on the target by a vampire . the process causes extreme pain onto the target and the more compulsion is needed to be erased , and the longer it takes to remove .
in general i don’t really care for vampires . i think that they are just boring as well as uninteresting and the only vampire movies i have ever really liked were the lost boys and from dust till dawn . i guess i’ll have to add
this is a time when the ' found footage ' style should have been left behind . it ' s hard to understand why someone being attacked by a monstrous vampire continues to film . it does have some interesting surprises . some not so good - like when being attacked in the woods they four campers rush back into their tent - which seems to prevent the vampire attacking them . apparently it ' s not strong enough to tear through the material , nor smart enough to simply unzip it .
a spell that allows a witch to pinpoint ones location with a circle of black sand made in the center of a map , the sand circles around the map and finally stop in a ring , indicating the target ' s location . the caster or target ' s blood can also be utilized .

i didn’t really care for the climactic ending sequence , and i feel like the episode loses its way about two - thirds of the way through . this felt more black mirror - ish than many of these other episodes in the way that it fully dives into its concept , but i don’t think it rises to immortality status like some of the other episodes in the series .
used by : in high water and a devil ' s daughter , freya bound this spell to her heart beat in order to to protect her brother from hollow ' s followers . dominic later learned of the spell ' s weakness , commenting on that it was
old magic

many episodes of black mirror have video game elements to them , but this one was entirely focused on the evolution of vr ( well , ar ) into something strange and terrifying . a man stuck overseas agrees to playtest an experimental type of game to pay for his ticket home , but he eventually loses his mind after being trapped in a house of virtual horrors that seems far too real .
