I have not seen it. I won't either. Two friends described it as extremely terrifying and deeply disturbing, totally devoid of hope and joy. One of them said the acting was good. Another friend was so disturbed, she was physically ill. I am surprised there aren't more posts on this movie.

I haven't seen this movie yet but find it really interesting that it was made for $120,000. and the couple who directed/produced it were able to get it marketed and released. That is very heartening for low budget filmmakers.

i saw it over the weekend. it scared the crap out of me. i have never had any desire to scuba dive, and after this movie....NEVER. the shark scenes were just totally terrifying. i don't care that there weren't special effects. seeing all those shark fins and these poor people out there....whoa. to me, real life stuff like this is way more scary than say your freddy's and jason's. just sayin....based on a true story. (i think the actors were crazy to set out there in the water with the real sharks....yikes!

We saw this tonight and thought it was boring. The acting was not good and I found myself rooting for the sharks after about 20 minutes. Maybe it compares favorably to other low budget films, but is neither scared or entertained us. We give it 2 fins down.

Bob you got it right! I saw it and boy did I hate this movie. The couple is highly and I do mean highly annoying. The pacing is slow and drawn out and I was waiting for them to die or do something. Someone explain to me how a movie about 2 people trapped in an ocean requires a nude scene? Scary? The grudge was scarier and that movie really sucked. But this one just blowed fishbait.

You know those movies you won't to turn off but no matter how hard you try you keep watching because you're thinking it's got to get better, but it doesn't? That's what this movie is like.

I liked this movie a lot. It was what it was - a small movie about real people who found themselves in a nightmarish situation. If you were expecting something on the lines of 'Jaws' then of course you would hate it. To me it shows how you don't have to spend zillions on special effects to create a terrifying scene.

I just rented this and thought it was boring. Maybe it would have been scary on a big screen in the theater, but at home it just wasn't. I've never liked being on a small boat when you couldn't see land and now I'm even less inclined to do that. I can't recommend this film really unless you're really interested in the premise. I will say that the ending is powerful and not something I will soon forget.

Sorry a lot of you hated it. I loved it. But I'm inclined to like movies like this, I always have been. A nude scene may not have been required, but I'm not complaining. I listened to the actors commentary over that scene, and the lady knew going in that she was going to have to do that scene, but she was still self-conscious about it. The end kicked me in the jewels. I was expecting something different. Very good.
