I won't say this impressed me much, but I what worked was the feeling that you were there, with them. If you can put yourself into that situation, it makes it work so much better. It will make you think twice before going in the water. |

One of the worst movies I've ever seen. It made me leave the theatre wishing I didn't just waste my six bucks. The movie as a whole just didn't impress me at all. |

People are quick to label this picture as a "bad movie." I beg to differ. For an indie film, this is an amazing accomplishment.

I'm always enthusiastic to recommend this film because I want... |

Sharks just nibble at first, that's the scary part |

If you weren't afraid of the water before this film you certainly will be after. Open Water is the new, raw and unrefined, Jaws. It is filmed much like a documentary and it follows the life of one couple who gets stranded in the Caribbean. This style of filming takes a bit to get used to because it is usually associated with armature movies, but it is this style that really pulls the film together and makes it so believable.
The two main characters, Susan and Daniel; played by Blanchard Ryan and Daniel Travis are relatively new to having the starring role and do a great job. They have great chemistry together and really get the audience to relate to them because the dialog and acting is so raw. There is no "typical Hollywood formula" in this movie. I was waiting for events of deceit an... |
