Kaaterskill Falls (2002)
Bald-faced ripoff of Polanski's Knife in the Water as produced by two gents with little of Polanski's subtlety or tonal control. The main difference between the two films is the setting (this film moves the plot from the ocean to the wilderness) and a reliance on improvised dialogue, which would be a useful selling point if any of the three actors evinced more charisma and talent than, say, a bowl of cold gravy. The fact that nobody got sued over this gives me hope that maybe I won't have to buy rights in order to sell the screenplays I'm working on. I can dream...
Grade: C
