edwardcooper-92204 Open Water is shot in an almost documentary style and with two part-time actors. Do not let these facts deter you from catching this movie wherever you can. The film is based on a true story about two scuba divers(couple) who happen to get left behind by their tour boats in shark infested waters. You know the ending of the story but the lead up to it is an exercise in creating and maintaining tension. The film is also great for budding filmmakers on how to make a cheap but good film- this was made for a mere 120,000 dollars. Do not miss it, even if you have a fear of sharks.

djfrost-46786 Wasn't a fan of the production, like Blair Witch Project. Slow at times too. 2 big shockers that you didn't see. 1 was the nudity 2 was the end. Those are the only thing good bout the movie.

Steve Jenkins I spent an afternoon watching this movie along with World Trade Center, and a more boring afternoon I could not have had. Open Water is a complete waste of time with no redeeming qualities at all. Don't waste your time like I did. I can't believe that they've made two more of these dopey movies. I can guarantee that I won't be watching either of them.
