Open Waters is not that bad, maybe the fact that the movie budget was 150,000 dollars, and acted by totally amateurs and semi-professional actors would had help you assimilate the movie more easily.
I agree with you, the acting was mediocre and most scenes at the hotel were very cheesse. What I like about the movie though is the way they tell the story; they did not resort to any sensationalistic or unrealistic plot. The sharks behave like, er, sharks, a novel concept for Hollywood . They tried to present the events as close as possible to real life. Yeah, I know, it's a slow movie, yet in real life that would have been a very slow death too. 8-O ...oh, and the end, what would you've done in her situation?
