THE DROWNSMAN is another lame-brained female-centred horror film with a young cast, none of whom do anything interesting with their generic characters. A girl survives an unpleasant accident and develops a pathological fear of water, only to realise that said fear might stem from a near-legendary serial killer who was never caught. What follows is a string of attempted fright scenes which are laughable more than anything else, alongside a gloomy and dark atmosphere that does nothing for the viewer. The whole thing's a wasted enterprise.
