Ratings and reviews

To the people who said this movie was horrible, then you don't like suspenseful movies. This movie is riveting, and shows the true horror of coming up to the survive after a really fun dive session, that went pretty uneventful other than seeing the usual aqua world under the ocean. And when you get to the surfice, your tour guides have left you at the dive sight. Not only that it was not nefarious, just a quick over sight, so none even knows to look on the first day. Great movie!!

It's about realism and what if you were the one trapped in water for days while fighting off sharks.. these reviews on here that are bad..some don't know how to process fear and suspense...usually some who isn't into horror/suspense movies, then complain when they watch a suspense movie..open minds..it can happen. Not all reviews..but just some of those people with closed minds..

This movie will not be an easy one to forget. I think that it stays with because not only can it happen it did. Since I am an avid scuba diver it kinda makes one think when you take a vacation just to dive.
