Set in an unspecified French village, the locals are shocked when a group of girls skinny dipping in the nearby lake (all very tastefully done I hasten to add) are killed by a group of zombiefied Nazi soldiers, that spring up out of the waters and drag them down to their demise.
A couple of detectives are brought in to try and solve the mysterious murders, only to end up as the zombies next victims. It turns out that during the war, the French resistance ambushed and killed a squad of German soldiers and dumped the bodies into the nearby lake, but failed to take notice of any of the local superstitions (never a wise move). Although, seeing as this film appears to be set in the early 80's, why it's taken so long for them to emerge and start killing people is a bit of a mystery, but there you go.
Not-with-standing, the villagers quickly organise a lynch mob to take down the zombie menace, only to end up being decimated by the undead soldiers, who's 'convincing' zombie make-up basically consists of green paint, which doesn't even cover the whole of the actors faces and keeps washing off in the lake.
There's also a bizarre sub plot about one of the zombies visiting his former daughter, who strangely still looks all of 12 despite the fact she should be in her 40's if she was born near the end of the war, but then since when did logic ever come into these films? Such as why do their uniforms still look almost new despite being underwater for 40 years, or how come the skinny dipping girls are only knee deep in the water when viewed from the lakeside, yet appear to be swimming in 12 feet of it from the underwater shots?
Bad acting, naff zombie make-up (the aforementioned green face paint), painfully obvious underwater shots filmed in a swimming pool, not to mention the plot inconsistencies bigger than the aforementioned lake itself. Low budget doesn't even begin to describe this film, which quite unbelievably was directed by respected Eurohorror director Jean Rollin, albeit under the pseudo name J A Laser.
That's not to say the film isn't without merit. I bust a gut laughing at the thoroughly ridiculous scenes of the zombies attacking the naked young girls, and the equally ridiculous slapstick battle with the angry villagers. Utterly hilarious, grab the six pack and the popcorn and have a blast!
因此电影开头谜语人从用地毯铲杀市长开始就在为验证蝙蝠侠的身份布局了。
整体观感很突兀，剧情是割裂的像一个个场景强行拼凑在一起不流畅，贾静雯和王净的戏都不错，不过她们俩的情感转换站不住脚，最后的瀑布也点题有余主旨不足
不要浪费钱浪费时间！！DC想赚爆米花的钱，但又想装深沉，结果就是给观众嘴里强塞了三个小时馊掉的爆米花。美国版样板戏，剧情陈旧又拖沓，情节低幼。要是看过2008的Dark Knight就千万别看这个了， 一对比感觉这剧本是中小学生写的似的。罗伯特演技依然拉跨，除了“全世界都欠我，死也不能笑“再没其他表情。看他露脸的时候我真得拿手挡着。
评分「8.0」
三星半。明明是剧情片，前半段拍成了悬疑片。贾静雯的演技不错。
本来这种有点碎碎念有点神经质节奏比较慢的电影我还蛮喜欢的，非要扯幻听到瀑布的声音和最后安排一幕女儿遭遇洪水感觉有点不知所谓。似乎没有“瀑布”这个关键词电影里要讲的东西也很清楚了，有了这个题目我还一边看一边分心想跟瀑布有什么关系。
扎导笑而不语，还以为是延续《小丑》呢，结果还是DC宇宙的扎导风，氛围和情绪给的很足，镜头也拍的很漂亮，但一到对白戏的调度就立刻打回原形，动作戏一来更是平庸，本质上还是drama强装cinema罢了。套的这层写实侦探片的风格，是唯一招人喜欢的部分，可惜拖拖拉拉的动作戏，最后连戏剧逻辑都不顾了，真的没有必要拖拉到这么长。
和《七宗罪》比较
啊这……片子时不时会有一点尴尬。台词是不是不太行？有些时候如果不看画面的话就好像两个学生对着书在学习如何朗读一样。
比较过誉，主要是贾静雯的表演绷得很紧，不如同片的王净。
还没有到那个高度。
亲情是人无法逃离的羁绊与纽带，但并不意味着理解与共振，疫情隔离、思觉失调、家道中落，这一切都只是放大镜与舞台，生活如瀑布倾泻而下，结局可喜可悲，钟孟宏的选择是温情，给疫情时代的我们，一些爱与慰藉
乍看风格割裂，实际贴合于疗愈过程。贾静雯和小女生演技很棒，剧作上部分对白稍显尴尬。
前半段贾静雯的表演真的有够吓人的，呆滞、怀疑、反复，似乎脸上的褶皱、凌乱的发梢也在述说。蓝色的帷幕与面前的口罩交相辉映，被巨大不具名所笼罩的身体和内心，也像是瀑布所坠下时的蔚为壮观。从女儿开始照顾妈妈之后，剧情的走向变得不可预知，原来电视后面的蛇是真的，看似油滑吹嘘的中介经理竟然这么正直，小静出事的时候出租屋的煤气灶正好被浇灭，紧张啊，剧本真有意思啊。
另外，感觉女儿挺吸引人的！
65/100 真正的女性关怀，但是太没劲了，最后点题“瀑布”也是相当生硬
三个小时的电影诗，太侦探漫画了，太文艺了。大概是最有神性的一个蝙蝠吧，神说要有光，他点起火炬指引受难者，不是靠超能力，而是以他凡人的血肉之躯。
女儿们，像小静一样那么懂事，多好！可是，小静们压抑的痛苦，有一天会不会也像品文一样，崩断了那根弦！女人，都在妈妈和女儿之间轮回，有时爱着但互相伤害，但我相信，她们终会彼此理解……因为，妈妈和女儿之间的感情，爸爸永远不懂，会有多么深！
连生气的对话都那么寡淡，很难抓住导演想表达什么
非常惊艳的一部关于疫情时代的电影，贾静雯值得最佳女主角。瀑布，英语是The falls，从高处跌落，但是最终会进入溪流，平静地流向未知的远方。里面也多次出现了黑泽明《电车狂》的海报，跟这部电影一样，时序轮回，普罗大众每一天都活在无奈之中，也正因为自己的存在，思考的人也因为思考招致了无数的烦恼。思觉失调，想要静一静，都是对这个社会的抗争。色调特别有趣，家和疗养院都以蓝色为主，像关着叶帘的冷库，但是当保洁阿姨和病友出现的时候，都会照进一缕暖光。口罩也是蓝色，蓝色能够隔断距离，却永远也隔不断母女间的爱。电视的意象也值得研究。从疫情爆发的新闻，到解封后城市复苏的消息，再到从电视机后面捉出来一条蛇，以及最后大坝泄洪导致溺水事故的报道，家庭关系的每一个阶段都被电视划分得刚刚好。那下一次，又会报道什么呢。
