Parents need to know that Black Water: Abyss is an Australian horror-drama with serious peril and a number of gory, deadly animal attacks. The bulk of the movie takes place with five friends -- led by (Luke Mitchell) and Cash (Anthony J. Sharpe) -- trapped in an underground cave system that is slowly flooding around them, while being under threat of death from predatory crocodiles. During this time they are shown to care for each other and work together, in attempt to keep one another safe from being attacked by dangerous animals. But eventually the lies of certain characters are exposed. During the crocodile attacks very little detail is shown on screen, but there is some gore and dismemberment after the cutaways. Characters are shown to be terrified and often experience bloody injuries. Swearing is occasional, usually in response to characters being shocked, surprised, or scared by imminent danger during their trip, but includes variants of "f--k," along with "arse" and "bastard." The movie has been described as a "spiritual sequel" to Black Water, a 2007 cult hit by the same director, Andrew Traucki.
