Open Water (DVD review)

Open Water (2003) starring a cast of unknowns. Susan and Daniel are left behind when their scuba expedition boat leaves without them. They are left floating, alone together, on what seems like a vast, endless sea. But they are not really alone, for the sea is filled with little fish, stinging jellyfish and, yes ... sharks. The drama is slow going at first, but once it shifts into high gear some viewers will find this film both harrowing and horrifying. I found the ending genuinely surprising and even a little shocking. Grade: B
