Reviews:
“What the Waters Left Behind: Scars is an atmospheric sequel to the first part and does many things even better than this one. What the series still scores with is its unique scenario, against which all backwood slashers with their you-can-see-the-woods-for-the-trees backdrops simply draw the short straw. All in all, Onetti single-handedly does a solid job.” Geek Germany
“The actors and actresses are also very decent and can convince in their roles. There is also a bit more value placed on character development than in part 1. The editing is fast-paced and the whole film is very entertaining and entertaining. The numerous torture and gore scenes are at least partially creative.” Ittenbach Fans
