  1. Worth a dozen "Blair Witch Projects," with much more harrowing psychology and pithy dialogue. It's a bone-chilling plunge into no-holds-barred storytelling.
  2. 60
    The film's dispassionate examination of the shifts in Susan and Daniel's relationship as they drift from irritation to barely suppressed panic is at least as nerve wracking.
  3. 30
    Open Water is simply a stunt--hopelessly literal-minded and cheap in every sense.

    This film was an amazing and sublime experience. This film was a harrowing experience that is one of the most memorable and best films I';ve ever seen, despite what some of these users have to say about it. This film felt real, and you're left guessing what will happen next. Sorry folks, but I loved this film, and I support the opinions of the critics this time. One of the best indie films out there, no doubt. Expand

    It was slow until they became stranded. That's when we got to see the dynamics of their relationship, It kept getting better until it sank like a stone at the end. Expand

    I can't believe the critics' rave reviews! Yeah, it was free of the usual Hollywood gimmicks; yeah it puts you right in the flippers of the doomed swimmers; yeah it was realistic. But it has ZERO story. Films shouldn't be realistic just to be realistic. Films tell stories. There was nothing in this film I couldn't imagine in my own head or read in a paragraph. Expand
