Review of Open Water

Open Water (2003)
5/10
Where did all that hype come from?
18 January 2005
I wanted to see this movie because of all the good reviews and hype about it. I'm also a fan of low-budget indies that make it big. However, when I watched it with my boyfriend and roommate, we found ourselves just talking through the whole movie just to pass the time. We also amused ourselves by trying to figure out if that one guy on the boat really was the guy from Broken Lizard.

At an hour and a half, Open Water was still way too long.

The psychological aspect of the couple in the water was somewhat interesting, but nothing profound. I have the same sorts of fights with my boyfriend when we get lost in the city.

All in all, it wasn't nearly "the scariest movie of the year." It was a yawn. Skip it.
