Based on true events, a couple on a holiday in the Caribbean decide to spend the day on a scuba diving trip. But was it the wrong decision? When a miss-count happens on the boat, Susan and Daniel are left behind in the middle of the ocean, with the boat long gone. With all their hopes set on the boat coming back to rescue them, they try to keep themselves safe, especially when sharks start to appear.
Made for half a million, starring mainly two people in the ocean from the entire movie, "Open Water" is great for what it has. It's a little gem, fortunately, already seen by a lot of people. This movie isn't for everybody. It's a slow paced movie and it's like that for the entire film. It's best to say if you're a really impatient human being who wants something to happen fast, you aren't going to like this.
To explain this film, I'll just say it's terror unfolding within each scene. The scares in here are really quite genuine, although it doesn't have the buckets of gore and violence. I just loved how the movie showed us little to nothing yet had my heart pumping. On top of that, you get real sharks! I also liked the performances by the two main leads, Blanchard Ryan and Daniel Travis.
Overall, if you think you would be bored seeing two people stuck in the ocean for the most part of the movie, you probably shouldn't watch it. I found it very tense, disturbing, and suspenseful with some great performances and some great scares (close to the end, of course). See this if you like a real "horror film," I guess people would call it.
