People... at a bay... murder. That was the plot.
This looks like the work of Jess Franco. Gruesome death scenes and a naked swimming scene would seemingly suggest that it was his work. An hour and 23 minutes was a very long time to watch a plotlessly rambling video about murder. If I were to interpret credits from past experience, the producer would be Jess Franco and writer would be Nathan Explosion (from Dethklock). Characters aren't worth mentioning because there were so many and they all die. Brigitte Skay's nude swimming earns female anatomy points right before she dies. I couldn't hear much dialogue, but the acting seemed just short of sincere. The narrative sections of this and "B-roll" sections seemed to be filmed by separate camera operators. The narrative looked like crap, but the B-roll was beautiful! There was a sunset across a lake, selective focus, deep focus, good exposure and composition... Special effects were all physical: blood, severed limbs, severed head, floating corpse, multiple impalements (obviously written by Nathan Explosion). The audio was spotty. All of the dialogue was whispered to microphones that were placed too far away and behind the actors. If it was dubbed, this is THE WORST voice-over work EVER. IMDB rates this 6.7/10 and Rotten Tomatoes has 80% tomatometer and 64% audience score for a 70% average. I think that gives this a little too much credit. I rate it poor. Graphic murder and nudity inclusion elevate it from bad.
