Review of Open Water

Open Water (2003)
1/10
Hopeless and Pointless
23 August 2004
I hate movies that inspire hopelessness without redemption, such as "The Clearing" and "The Blair Witch Project", and this movie fit the bill just quite nicely. Watching this movie is like watching a person driving his car from point A to point B. This movie makes a person think what exactly is the purpose of this movie being made?

It has all the characteristic of a Titanic movie, you get to watch the boat sinks but without the drama. The film maker of this drivel even managed to throw in a gratuitous full on female nude scene ten minutes into the movie.

Open Water has got to be the cheapest movie ever made, I must say. The whole film was shot in some sort of analog camcorder and transferred onto film. Watching this movie is like watching an over-grown home movie, the film appeared grainy and under exposed. At time I was having trouble making things out on the screen.

Over the many years that I have been a moviegoer, I have never walked out of a theater angry, but this movie sure made me blew my top while walking back to my car. It is a good thing that this movie is only 80 minutes long because that is how much I wasted on this mockery of a film.
