![]() ![]() Stay safe! If anyone invites you spelunking, pretend you thought they said kerplunking Though I’m willing to bet that many times during their day out, Black Water: Abyss‘s attractive victims Cash (Anthony J Sharpe), hot Eric (Luke Mitchell), Viktor (Benjamin Hoetjes), Yolanda (Amali Golden) and Jen (Jessica McNamee) wished they’d stayed at home and played with marbles instead. Kerplunking, like spelunking, is also a “nerve-wracking game of skill”. ![]() That’s spelunking, not Kerplunking, which is what you do when playing Kerplunk!, while desperately avoiding going spelunking. But it’s quite tense in places, and I learned a lot, including this from the movie’s IMDB page:ĭoing my pre-watch googling I also discovered caving is known as spelunking, from a middle English word spelunk, meaning cave. ![]() The only way you could get art from Black: Water Abyss is if you used the movie title as the basis for a wordsearch. Now I should say that Black Water: Abyss is not art. ![]() Check out this story in The Guardian, about comedian John Shuttleworth cancelling his cave gig after a man fell into a cavern called The Devil’s Arse: Why didn’t they headline this Man Stuck in Devil’s Arse? (Btw it’s so named because of the noise it makes as the water drains away) Today, a mere 24 hours after we sat down to watch Black Water: Abyss, about a huge crocodile killing a bunch of attractive twentysomethings exploring a flooded cave system in the Australian forests, England trumped it all. And if there’s one thing I’ve learnt watching the worst, weirdest movies, it’s that life has a habit of not imitating art but actually overtaking it. It’s nearly a year since I’ve written about a film club watch, though Liz and I have continued determinedly viewing a narrow variety of low-budget horrors. Also don’t worry if you don’t know the difference between a crocodile and an alligator, you find out two paragraphs in. All film club write-ups are very spoilery. ![]()
