Head Above Water

Head Above Water (1996) is a black comedy thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Judge George takes his much-younger wife Nathalie to a remote island for a quiet getaway, with only her childhood friend Lance living next door. The calm doesn't last.

While George heads off fishing, Nathalie's ex-boyfriend Kent turns up — and by morning he's dead. Cameron Diaz plays a woman who decides to hide the body before her husband gets home, and from there one bad cover-up spawns the next. Harvey Keitel is the unflappable judge; Billy Zane is the neighbor who senses there's a secret worth leveraging. Director Jim Wilson keeps the 92 minutes balanced on a knife's edge between a nervous laugh and a real threat, as a corpse that refuses to stay hidden drags everyone into increasingly ridiculous choices. A breezy island whodunit for viewers who like their dark humor with a cold spine. Stream Head Above Water (1996) online on iFILM.
