Open Water
Open Water proposes a terrifying scenario, what if your scuba diving party, due to a simple miscalculation, had left you behind? It’s an outrageous oversight, but this was a true story and Open Water is the hypothetical simulation of what may have happened to the couple. As its premise suggests, it’s literally a movie about two people floating out in the ocean. However as passions flare, dehydration sets in, and sharks begin to stalk the two of them, the result is a minimalist horror film which uses space, naked emotion and impending doom to drive up its scares.
