It's not a superb film, but I did like it and I can see myself getting the Blu-ray of it and watching it again in HD. It also feels oddly like a companion piece to the Fantastic Factory's other water horror Dagon.

I would recommend it if you have a taste for such illogical, oneiric horror.
I'm not familiar with this one, nor do I rate Brian Yuzna all that highly, but on the basis of your description I'm thinking of giving it a go as it seems to tick a lot of my favourite boxes, particularly if it stands up well beside Dagon.
