Open Water

[Teenweek]

Good movie. A lot of tense moments. Much better than that piece of crap Alien vs Predator

Review: Open Water

Just when you thought is was safe....after 3 awful sequels to "Jaws" and countless rip-offs comes a real terror film on the high seas, "Open Water". If you stripped down the production to just a camera and 2 actors in the water with a shitload of real sharks, a Blair Witch style thriller is one of the most effective terror films in years. Shot on high def video, director/writer Chris Kentis milks the short 80 min production for all the fear it can get out of the audience. I squirmed and wiggled through most of this movie, and it is very disturbing to watch the outcome.

Based on a few actual events, the story of a young yuppie couple on a Caribbean vacation that go out on a small boat of about 20 people to enjoy the scuba experience. Susan and Dan (Blanchard Ryan and Dan Travis look like Charlese Theron and Kevin Costner) are accidentally left behind in the open waters and bicker their hours away as the endure the hidden horrors of the deep blue sea. Simple and raw with good acting by newcomers and a funny moment with NJ character actor Saul Stein playing an asshole who causes the mess up.

"Open Water" joins the ranks along with "Deliverance" and "Blair Witch" as one of the finest raw minimalist films to ever hit the screen. You must see this film and it hits the nerve and you will be talking.BTJ Says Fuck Scuba Diving!

OK but Blair Witch was filmed with Camcorders and 16mm film, and this is on High Def Vid, but I dont remember Deliverance approaching anything towards minimalism, nor cinema verite.

I love "Deliverance" for the great writing!

Same with "Pulp Fiction" and "Last Tango In Paris"...really, phenomenal screenwriting all around!

Opens wide release next week. I downloaded it.

they didnt have camaracorders in 1971 and it was just a cameraman, a director and 4 actors in 2 canoes. That isnt a big production.

Good movie. The footage was grainy, as expected, but an excellent desent into fear. It is a short movie, only and hour and 15 minutes, but it gets to the point. I never felt bored.

There are a few good scares but I found the ending more creepy and disturbing than any shark danger.

If you see it, be sure to stay through the credits.
