- Synopsis
- Upon arrival at their hotel on an island holiday, it becomes clear that Daniel and Susan's relationship is under strain from their workaholic lifestyles, and they need a vacation even more than they realized. The next morning, the rested couple, certified scuba divers, board a local dive boat for an underwater tour of the reef. The boat is crowded with other vacationers, and due to a series of innocent miscommunications and a distracted crew, the couple is, after only 40 minutes or so underwater, accidentally left behind. What follows is the story of their ordeal: cold, alone and miles from land, the couple is adrift in shark-infested waters.

-
"Without doubt one of the scariest, creepiest, gut-churningly unsettling pictures to come along in ages."
-
"In spirit, 'Open Water' reduces us to children peering through our fingers, waiting for the horrid deliverance we're not quite sure we want to see."
-
"Rarely, but sometimes, a movie can have an actual physical effect on you. It gets under your defenses and sidesteps the 'it's only a movie' reflex and creates a visceral feeling that might as well be real."
-
"It offers genuine scares and chills without the self-aware, packaged feel of many horror/thriller films."
