Clearwater (2003, USA) B&W-58m. ** D: Andy Koontz. Starring Randy Bonden, Julie Wand, Chris Koontz, Andy Koontz. Not-bad horror movie debut shot on digital video about a serial killer, who kidnaps a young woman and tortures her nearly to death. At the same time he is terrorizing a stranger by sending shocking pictures of her. Will the man come to her rescue? Tries hard to atmospheric, but comes off as odd, and film's blunt storytelling neglects characterization completely. Little dialogue, okay score by the filmmaker (Koontz also scripted, produced and shot the picture). Alternative spelling: CLEAR WATER.
