Open Water might be a bit too low budget for many audience members.But this is a prime example of how budget should not hold back a brilliant concept.This is as realistic as it comes, from the scene in the hotel room where the couple lounge around completely nude (like people do in real life!), to the anxiety and horror of being in the Open Water, alone.This might very well be an underrated masterpiece that has spawned numerous awful sequels.

The terror doesn't come from gruesome shark attacks. So if that's what you're looking for, you'll be disappointed. This movie strikes a deeper chord than typical blood-and-gore, shock-fest horror movies; and it may be that desensitized viewers who are incapable of genuine human emotion and empathy will not appreciate it. This film is about real psychological, existential terror -- similar to the effect achieved by Werner Herzog's Grizzly Man.
