Open Water

WHO WILL SAVE YOU?

During a group scuba dive, Susan and Daniel (Blanchard Ryan, Daniel Kintner) suddenly learn that the others in the group are gone; the boat has left the site after the crew made a mistake while counting heads.

One of those films that were made on a shoestring budget and achieved great success. Based on a real-life story where a married couple disappeared in the ocean after being mistakenly left there, the film was made with real sharks and had the ambition to depict their behavior realistically.

Unfortunately, it lacks the tension and skill of more imaginative genre films.


2003-U.S. 79 min. Color. Written and directed by Chris Kentis. Cast: Blanchard Ryan (Susan Watkins), Daniel Travis (Daniel Kintner), Saul Stein (Seth), Michael E. Williamson, Cristina Zenato.

Trivia: Followed by two unrelated sequels, starting with Open Water 2: Adrift (2006).
