Not to be confused with Dark Water (2005) or the Japanese flick it was remade from, Mariano Baino's relatively little known horror film is probably one of the greatest Lovecraft-inspired movies ever made.

After the death of her father, a young woman travels to a convent, secluded on a remote island, to discover why her father made payments to the mysterious (and decidedly un-Christian) order of nuns who inhabit it. Her friend (who had gone ahead to study the place) has dissappeared, there's no electricity or way to contact the mainland, and something lurks in the dark recesses of the building...

Though low on plot, the film is extremely heavy on atmosphere; the same accusations can be leveled at the works of Dario Argento. Dont get me wrong, I'm a major Argento fan, but this blows away anything he's done since Opera. Highly recommended to those with an interest in Lovecraft and/or old school Italian horror. NOTE: The film may be difficult to track down but is available from Netflix. There are two versions-one called Dark Waters and one Dead Waters. Avoid the latter, as Dark Waters is a remastered director's cut and Dead Waters is poor quality.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
