Open Water

Open Water

2004

It's Jaws meets The Blair Witch Project when a vacationing couple on a scuba diving expedition accidentally gets left behind and must fend for themselves in shark-infested waters. Directed by Chris Kentis, the movie features unknown actors and was filmed on a shoestring budget, sans camera tricks or mechanical man-eaters. The circling sharks you see are... real!

Drifting into theaters this summer.

  • A feel good movie about two people being left out in the ocean all alone; with sharks, jellyfish, and an overwhelming sense of abandonment. Good Stuff.
