PG â€â€? Parental guidance suggested
Husband-and-wife filmmakers Chris Kentis and Laura Lau avoided special effects, instead choosing to shoot 20 miles off the coast amid the sea life, including real sharks â€â€? a refreshing change in this day and age of cacophonous, computer-generated nonsense
NC-17 â€â€? No one under 17 admitted That seems to be the ideal setting to enjoy the eeriness and suspense of its man-vs
"Open Water," a Lions Gate Films release, is rated R for language and some nudity It simply doesn't have enough narrative momentum to be considered an instant horror classic Some material may be inappropriate for young children
Even this aspect of the film feels a bit too cursory, though, perhaps because "Open Water" is so brief
PG-13 â€â€? Special parental guidance strongly suggested for children under 13
Their initial annoyance gives way to boredom (they kill time playing word games) followed by panic once the jellyfish start stinging them All ages admitted
R â€â€? Restricted
Pretty much the entire movie consists of Susan (the beautiful Blanchard Ryan) and her husband, Daniel (Daniel Travis), bobbing up and down in the water after their dive group leader miscounts, thinks he has everyone back on board the boat, and motors away
The film's low-budget aesthetic is admirable and, at times, startlingly effective We won't give it away â€â€? the studio asked us not to, and for the record we wouldn't have anyway on principle Long-held resentments begin to bubble up the longer they stay in the water: Daniel insists it's Susan's fault, for example, that they're on this vacation and not in a different place at a different time because her job as a TV sports producer is so demanding and unpredictable
"Open Water" also attempts to play as a domestic drama â€â€? a portrait of a typical marriage weakened by work stresses and insufficient quality time
But it's hard to shake the feeling that you're watching "The Blair Witch Project" on the high seas, especially during the film's draggy stretches Review: 'Open Water' Bare-Bones Creepy
Aug 6, 2:23 PM EST
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water comes "Open Water," the bare-bones story of a young married couple left stranded in the middle of the ocean while scuba diving on vacation Then the sharks begin to circle â€â€? but calling "Open Water" the second coming of "Jaws" is a serious reach
Kentis and Lau do take time, though, to craft a surprising, elegant ending (You may find yourself looking at your watch a few times, and the movie's only 79 minutes long Two stars out of four Running time: 79 minutes We'll just let you dive in on your own, and see how you feel when you rise to the surface Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian -nature conflict â€â€? at midnight, in a packed theater, with a bunch of other people who love independent film and may or may not be slightly buzzed Some material may not be suitable for children )
It's easy, however, to understand how "Open Water" has generated buzz after playing at film festivals, including Sundance
â€â€?â€â€?â€â€?
Motion Picture Association of America rating definitions:
G â€â€? General audiences She snaps back at him, "I wanted to go skiing!" â€â€? a line that eases the tension and breaks up the argument with much-needed comic relief
