Trivia:

In one underwater scene, Olivia Wilde's character is supposed to be panicking while trying to find an air bubble. This is actually real, as Olivia missed her mark and could not locate the air bubble. Because it as a wide shot, the safety divers were too far away to get there, but she eventually found the pocket

Goofs:

Continuity: When Liam is chasing two boys through the town, one of the boys throws a rock that strikes Liam's head. The next shot, if viewed using very slow motion, shows the rock flying towards Liam's arm, which he then holds as he continues to chase the boys.

Quotes:

Zamora: In any situation, the best thing you can do is the right thing. The next best thing you can do is the wrong thing. But the worst thing you can do is nothing.

Why the bad rating ???

I almost was not going to see this movie because it was giving such a bad rating by so many.

I don't know why though. I watched the movie and it was very very good.

It had a great story line that was believable and made it more creepy. When something exciting was not happening it had great visuals of Brazil. It had some intense scenes also. It also had a lot of shocking parts u would not expect. I really liked this movie. Better then hostel definitely.

It shouldn't have a bad rating. At least should have a 7 or 8. Worth watching.
