    Saw this film a couple of weeks ago via a free DVD rental trial. It was really good, quite scary because it was such an ordinary situation, and could so easily happen!

    Definitely watch it :)

    On the contrary, I thought it was absolutely boring, two divers bobbing up and down in the water for an hour and a half isn't my interpretation of enjoyment :( .

  • I have to agree this was the dullest film i have ever had the misfortune to watch.
    I have wasted a whole 1.30 hours of my life watching this when i could have been watching paint dry.
    Save the money fill a glass with water and watch it you will get the idea LOL
    and if its based on a true story and there was only the 2 of them there how do they know what really happened???? ( I recon hubby off'ed wifey, ate her and is sunning himself on a tropical island :-D)

    Not to detract from the poster's offer, and I wouldn't normally comment on the film as there are better places but I went to see this at the cinema and at the end I basically felt cheated. Cheated out of £13 and 1.5 hours of my life. The g/f agreed......I'd have walked out except I was waiting for the thing to start....it finished thank God - but never started.

    It was not thrilling.....don't believe it. It was drawn out and the characters weren't worth caring about. In the end I was praying for them to get attacked so I could leave.

    If you haven't seen it - seek out some other reviews - or save more and leave it on the shelf.

    Like others have said a good price compared to everywhere else but this movie really made me want to go to sleep, loads of people ended up walking out when I went to see it! Just my personal opinion though some may like it

    Have to agree it was definitely *not* a cinema film! I too would have been disappointed to see this at the cinema....but we really enjoyed watching it at home. It was just refreshingly different from the usual plotlines. The clincher is thinking how easily it could happen, which made it pretty scary! The conversations the 2 people had were just so realistic that you could easily imagine it for yourself.

    I reckon they must have taken artistic licence though; as a previous poster said, it's meant to be a true story, but how could it be if both of them died? I reckon that in real life only one did, and they made up the ending to make it more interesting!!
  • This is quite possibly the worst film i have ever seen. Stay away from it or be disapointed.
    Watch out, you never know who is about.

    I dont normally whinge and lets be fair to the poster some might want to buy this film BUT id sooner spend 2 hours in the bath playing with my toys :D seriously apart from that lovely nipple shot and as I remember a naughty shot of the girls nice part the film is no so good. Cost me £17 for me and my ex to watch it... I was robbed :(
