  • No, it's not the same film - they are completely different (by that I mean films, not in terms of storyline!)

    "Just as it was the curse of Chris Kentis' shark-vérité thriller Open Water (2003) to be endlessly compared to Jaws and The Blair Witch Project, so German commercial director Hans Horn's Adrift will be forever doomed to suffer comparison with Open Water - indeed it is being marketed (outside of the UK) as Open Water 2."

    In answer to your question OP, I saw Adrift at the cinema and was also confused! Really rubbish ending. But basically, I think only the baby survives and that something mysterious happens to the mum and that [EMAIL="w@nker"]w@nker[/EMAIL] of a bloke she saves....? Not at all clear. But apparently...

    "Adrift closes in such a way that there is, I'm afraid, every chance that a sequal might surface in a cinema (or more likely a video store) near you"

    I know I was wondering the same about the ending ~ I think they died because when the other boat sailed closer to their boat there was noone on deck, but my hubby says maybe they just couldn't be seen, he thinks they made it back alive, passed out and then the baby woke them up... hmmmm I'm just not sure, very irritating not knowing!
