1. I had nightmares for a few days afterwards

:scared:

[Cha]

3. I sure thought about it a lot for

days after I saw it! :scared:

[Cha]

2. I saw it and I was alone..no one

to hold on to! That's sweet that you got on DU when you're watching "Open Water"!

[pres2032]

6. hehe, yeah, definitely glad for DU

[sundog]

4. I deeply hate that movie for several reasons

:grr:

[pres2032]

5. afraid of sharks?

[sundog]

11. No, I think the whole thing is offensive...

not just on the level of bad writing & acting, but in its deeply cynical outlook on the will to survive.

There is also something inherently sick about a writer/director cashing in on the misfortune of two individuals... and somehow labeling that story as "true."

And the funny thing is, on the commentary, he barely mentions the real-life people on which he based the film. He imposes his cynicism on two people who have no voice.

I guess the families of these people would be the most pissed.

But I have to hand it to the marketing team... they conned a lot of people into watching the flick. I'm sure the director is eating good with the profits. :grr:

That's why I don't like "Open Water." :)

12. I feel the same way

I hate that fucking movie.

[sundog]

13. yeah, the whole thing pissed me off on so many levels

7. GRR! WHY DON'T THEY YELL WHEN A BOAT IS NEAR!!!!!

[HeeBGBz]

8. Is it worth renting?

Love a good creature feature. I cannot not watch Jaws whenever I see it on tv.

[pres2032]

9. definitely

especially considering the sharks are barely in it and it's still freaky

[Cha]

10. It's the open water that freaky!

And it was based on a real life event!
