Dead Water is a 2019 American thriller film directed by Chris Helton and starring Casper Van Dien and Judd Nelson.

John mentions to David that he needs to talk to a therapist about what is happening to him but he shrugs it off with no concern and puts his daily dose of pills in the sink.

Vivian returns home from work and talks about how John called her about the vacation and suggests that they go.

While David and John are swimming, there is a man by the name of Jack covering his bleeding eye who watches their boat across the water.

Waking up, David finds John in the command room and is told the boat has stopped working.

[4] Joe Leydon of Variety gave the film a negative review and described it as "a tepid VOD-ready melodrama that strikes faint echoes of Roman Polanski's Knife in the Water and Phillip Noyce's Dead Calm while ponderously padding 60 or so minutes of plot to feature length".

[5] Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter also gave the film a negative review and wrote, "None of the performers are able to bring life to their schematic characters, although Nelson appears to be having fun as a modern-day pirate".
