Rating:  - Quietly Terrifying
The original review for this film was attached to a release that is now unavailable, so I thought I'd resurrect it for the Widescreen Edition, since I obviously really like this movie.
Open Water combines the "Blair Witch" knack for building from banal scenes to white-knuckled horror with the eternal movie trope of shark-fear quite well. The actors are convincingly normal, trapped in an increasingly horrifying situation. I love the water, especially the sea but this movie definitely ... Read More
Rating: - Better than Jaws or Deep Blue Sea.
Of all the shark movies that have come out of Hollywood.
I'd have to say Open Water is the best of the bunch.
Why you ask?
It's more realistic than either Jaws or Deep Blue Sea.
The shaky camera is annoying at first but you'll adjust in no time.
I think the actors, if you can call them actors should have gotten some sort of nomination for even doing this movie.
There were no fx sharks or robot sharks.
They swam with the real life thing the whole time and I ... Read More
Rating:  - "Oh God! Something's rubbing against my foot!"
The nightmare that one can only imagine in their mind becomes reality for a vacationing couple on an island getaway in OPEN WATER. Daniel (Daniel Travis) and Susan (Blanchard Ryan) lead hectic lives and desperately need a vacation. Their vacation goes awry (sounds a lot like my vacations) while open-water scuba diving. After frolicking with all the underwater sea creatures, their fun abruptly ends when they surface to find that their guide boat has left them. Why did it leave? Is it coming back? Will ... Read More

As they wait and try to struggle to live you get to see the interactions between the characters and what they do in a life or death situation. Imagine knowing you were most likely going to die or get eaten by sharks and not be able to do anything about it. Just float and ... Read More
Rating:  - I liked it
The beginning was a bit slow and low-budget-like which was about the only thing I "didn't" like about the movie. Other than that, when it picked up I really liked it. There's no real action scenes or shark attacks but that was okay for me. What appealed to me the most was imagining anyone in that situation--alone in the ocean--and how you become desperate and afraid -- that was more scary to me than any shark attack. Really liked the ending and imagined what I would do in that situation...
