“The Outwaters” (*1/2 out of four) was a fatally pretentious and overdone horror potboiler about four friends (Robbie Banfitch, Angela Basolis, Scott Schamell, and Michelle May) who go on a camping trip to the Mojave Desert but soon find themselves menaced and stalked by an unseen phenomena that soon threatens their sanity and safety. Star Banfitch also wrote and directed and evidently watched “The Blair Witch Project” several times before making this and tries to compensate with irritating overdirection; relentlessly jerky camera movements may make you reach for the dramamine and loud noise effects will eventually give you a headache.
