    Hated this movie. IMO one of the most boring movies ever made. The premise is scary, just made for a very boring movie.

    Thought this movie was very good! It’s very emotional and was a little scary at some parts. Didn’t really like the ending, I really wanted one of the two main characters to live!

    This prey’s on your fear of being eaten alive!The movie is slow but it’s realistic and how people stranded in the ocean would most likely go out.I liked the movie alot but I can see why people hate it.If you expect Jaws or Deep Blue Sea don’t bother.This was loosely based on a real couple I’m pretty sure that it wasn’t boring for them.The first time viewing this will have you on the edge of your seat if you like foreplay over instant gratification in your horror films.

    I don’t think anyone will be rushing out to go diving after this movie.

    Litterally the worst movie that I have ever seen…why it was made I really will never know. I just absolutely hated it.

    Pure crap.

    the reason that i like this movie so musch is because of it’s realism. how many times have you watched a show about some people getting lost without telling anybody where they are going, and then end up dead? just a simple story that’s told really well. i like how you have to use your imagination alot, and that definately adds to the creep factor. i myself have always been afraid of being out in the ocean like that, so now i will never be going out on a boat trip in any way.

    I really liked this film despite some negative reviews. This film is brilliant in the fact that it’s an independant film and uses real sharks, it makes the experience fantastic. I was highly impressed with about 3/4 of the film, b/c it was a little slow to start.

    Completely terrifying concept. My top three ways of how I don’t want to die include being murdered (I should say murdered slowly and knowing I am going to be murdered – I am probably ok with being shot without warning and having it over and done with quickly), being burned alive and being eaten alive. Eaten alive by anything – a shark, a bear, a lion, whatever else.

    With this in mind I have to high score this film. I didn’t find it boring, I thought the acting was good and it definitely played upon one of my greatest fears. I generally don’t swim in the ocean anyway, and this movie made me feel justified in my phobia.

    Definitely a winner for anyone who can’t stand not being able to see or touch the bottom.

    Aside from the low budget, the rest of the film is well made with some creepy scenes

Official Score: 5 / 5
