I have not seen the original Open Water but I wanted to watch this film because it's based on a short story by Koji Suzuki I really liked. After watching it, I'm not sure how I feel about it. It's basically stupid people get in trouble out at see and try to survive their own stupidity. I think I'd rather set sail on the S.S. Minnow than with these people. I read the source material and they have almost nothing in common except for one small thing.

::: spoiler Spoilers for the film and the short story The seashell that what's his name picked up out of the water is cursed I believe. In the original story; a yacht is found adrift with no people on board and it's reveled that a cursed sea shell made these people kill themselves or something. :::

The film was okay I guess. It's really soul sucking and sad if that's your thing. Have you seen it? What did you think? Let's talk about it.
