Fear of Water (French: La Peur de l'eau) is a Canadian thriller drama film, directed by Gabriel Pelletier and released in 2011.[1] The film stars Pierre-François Legendre as André Surprenant, a police officer in the Magdalen Islands who is investigating the rape and murder of the mayor's daughter Rosalie (Stéphanie Lapointe).[2]

The film's cast also includes Brigitte Pogonat, Sandrine Bisson, Isabelle Cyr, Paul Doucet, Normand D'Amour, Pierre-Luc Brillant, Germain Houde and Pascale Bussières.

The film was inspired by, but not a direct adaptation of, Jean Lemieux's crime novel On finit toujours par payer.[2]

The film had its theatrical premiere in November 2011,[1] before going into commercial release in January 2012.[3]

The film received two Jutra Award nominations at the 14th Jutra Awards in 2012, for Best Supporting Actress (Bisson) and Best Sound (Mario Auclair, Pierre-Jules Audet and Luc Boudrias).[4] It won the award for Best Film at the Festival international du film policier de Liège in 2012.[5]
