Aprille and I went up north to Weir's Beach New Hampshire for the weekend, and last night we decided to check out the drive-in that's up there. Our choice was to see "Open Water", the Blair Witch meets Jaws flick. While not an overly exciting movie, it did have a very creepy feel to it. Seriously, how would you feel if you were stranded in the middle of a shark-infested ocean? Not good, and the movie projects that feeling onto the viewer very well with its (sometimes sickening) bobbing up-and-down camera motions.
The film's story is loosely based on the real life story of the disappearances of Tom and Eileen Lonergan off the coast of Australia in 1998. While no evidence has been found to suggest the Lonergans were eaten by sharks, the movie trudges on in that direction as a sort of "what if" scenario showing what is possible if one were to be left stranded in the ocean.
I'd say it's worth seeing at least once. If you didn't care for the jerky cameras and whimpering main characters of The Blair Witch project, this movie may not be for you, but for the rest of you out there, it's at least worth a rental.
