Open Water

This one is being released tomorrow, but I never saw it. Anyone recommend it as a blind buy, or rent it first?

Thanks in advance.

Horrible, IMO.

have yet to hear one good thing about it. I'll wait til it hits HBO.

That is what I have heard from several people. I won't buy it. May not even rent it.

Turns out my dad saw it in the theater and told me about it. I think I'll watch it if literally nothing else is on. But I'd still rather watch HBO Latino before giving this one a shot...

Just went to Hollywood Video to check it out. Since it was a Guaranteed in Stock DVD and they didn't have it, I got a raincheck for a free rental - can't beat that, unless it's so bad it wastes my time...we'll see.

I watched it last night and I thought it was different. One thing I tried not to do was compare it to blockbuster-like films, since this was filmed on a VERY low budget. Bottom line is I liked it, but perhaps not enough to buy it. On the other hand, being a certified diver and an Aquatic Biologist by trade, I have a bit of bias toward liking a film like this right from the start.

Critcal respone to this film was really good. Much more so than your average horror flick.
