Absolutely terrifying. Open Water is a gripping tale about what happens when things go completely, terribly, cruelly, wrong. Like, "how can there be a God in the universe" wrong.

I was curious and bought the DVD. But now after watching it, I am going to sell it again. This is definitely not the movie you want to watch twice.

The whole idea of the plot is cool (two people alone on the ocean, but there is just to little going on and that what is happening ("something touched my leg") is hard to show on film.
Would have been an awesome book ...

Entertaining, But Depressing.

Let me start out by saying, that this film, is not supposed to have a great plot, or great acting. This is just one of those films, to entertain an audience. The plot is a little like this: a couple, goes on vacation, to some area with a lot of water (the name of the place escapes me). While on a boat, going out for a deep sea diving excursion, they are left behind, by their fellow crew members. W... read more

Description: Proving that the power of imagination is much more terrifying than what meets the eye, OPEN WATER is Chris Kentis's intensely realistic deep-sea drama, "based on true events." The film's leering digital video camera allows viewers to float like shark-bait, stranded in the middle of the ocean with Susan and Daniel (Blanchard ... (more)

"In certain spanish countries, this movie was called "Tiburones Muerden Buzos". Which, literally, in english language, translates into "Sharks Bite Divers". Which in shark language probably translates simply into something like "Om Nom Nom". "

“I thought Open Water was horrible! I bought the movie before watching it, once I had watched it, I kicked myself for buying and gave it away. It was definitely not something I would want to watch twice. I am all for shark movies, but they went about this the wrong way.” read more
