The official trailer for DEAD WATER, presented by Saban Films and Lionsgate, has been released. Directed by Chris Helton and starring Casper Van Dien, the new horror film will be released on July 26th.
Synopsis: John invites his buddy David “Coop” Cooper and his attractive wife Vivian onto his new yacht, encouraging the couple to relax and get away from it all. John’s yacht, The Bella, becomes the stage for a deadly game that puts friendships and lifetime love to the test. As the ship treks farther into the open horizon, the characters become more isolated. When an unexpected mechanical malfunction leaves the yacht dead in the water, they decide to launch a mission to seek help, but are soon met by a modern day pirate and must fight for survival in the dead open water.
This looks like a well-made film with good production values and solid acting from its leads (not so sure about Brianne Davis), but judging from the trailer, Dead Water looks like either a ripoff or remake of Dead Calm (1989), and I’m hoping it’s the latter. But we’ll keep our eyes on it, you know, because of the implication.
Dead Water will be available in theaters and on demand on July 26.
