All I knew about this 2019 movie titled "Aquaslash" when I sat down to watch it late in 2020 was that it was a horror movie of sorts. I hadn't heard about the movie prior to watching it, nor did I know what it was about. But it being a horror movie and a movie that I hadn't already seen was more than sufficient to make me spend time to sit down and watch it.
And while "Aquaslash" certainly was no classic or masterpiece within the horror genre, the movie just felt rather pointless. I mean, the storyline was almost next to non-existing, and there was literally nothing much contents to the plot and script, and that made for a rather mundane and sort of pointless movie. And little did it help that it is only about the last 15-20 minutes of the movie or so that were worth watching.
The acting in the movie was actually quite alright, taking into consideration that abysmal lack of proper storyline. I wasn't familiar with the cast in the movie, and that was something I enjoyed.
For a horror movie then "Aquaslash" just didn't have any splash to it - pardon the pun. It was a movie that came and went without much of an impact, much less leaving a lasting impression. I managed to sit through the movie to the end, but I wasn't particularly entertained.
The gore and effects in the movie were actually good enough, but it was just too little and too late in the movie, so it couldn't really do much to lift up the movie and steer it back on track.
My rating of "Aquaslash" lands on a mere three out of ten stars.
